For flights between Xiamen and Medan, our weight-concept policy applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class passengers enjoy 40kg of checked baggage. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your exact allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights between Xiamen and Medan once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, with Economy Class members required to add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase paid plans. The service is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On this route, both sectors are operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX. In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of around 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width. In Business Class, you can enjoy a fully flat bed with direct aisle access, providing generous personal space for rest or work.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Xiamen but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy extensive facilities including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and family-friendly spaces. For shorter connections, staying airside lets you explore these amenities, relax, or freshen up between your Xiamen and Medan flights.

If your layover is longer, you can consider joining one of the airport’s official transit tours into the city, which generally require several hours of connection time. These guided options are designed for transit passengers, helping you see key highlights before returning in time for your onward flight.

Whether you stay in the terminal or join an organised tour, follow airport and immigration guidance, and always allow ample time to be back at your gate. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Xiamen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. Medan follows Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7), also without daylight saving time. This means Medan is 1 hour behind Xiamen throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Medan when flying from Xiamen via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Xiamen–Singapore and Singapore–Medan) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Medan is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Xiamen–Medan trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
