Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Seoul to Medan once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

On the Seoul to Singapore sector, in Economy Class you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the medium-haul flight. Business Class offers a fully flat bed with direct aisle access, designed for rest or work.

On the Singapore to Medan sector operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class also offers around 32 inches of pitch and up to 19 inches of seat width, giving consistent comfort across your journey. Business Class provides reclining seats with generous space and a layout focused on privacy and ease of movement.

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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy a range of facilities without leaving the terminal, including indoor gardens, rest zones, play areas, and a variety of dining and shopping options. If your layover is long enough, you may join an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires several hours between flights.

For shorter layovers, consider freshening up with a shower, relaxing in a quiet corner, or spending time in an airport lounge, where available. The airport is clearly signposted, making it easy to move between gates and terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

Eligible passengers departing from Seoul Incheon Airport on Singapore Airlines-operated flights to Singapore can access the SilverKris Lounge before their journey. Eligibility depends on your cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, and will be confirmed at check-in or when you scan your boarding pass at the lounge.

For most tickets issued on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary from Seoul to Medan, we will check your baggage through from Seoul to your final destination in Medan. You will usually not need to collect your checked baggage in Singapore during your layover, unless advised otherwise at check-in.

Seoul follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Medan follows Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7). Medan is therefore 2 hours behind Seoul throughout the year, meaning when it is 12.00pm in Seoul, it is 10.00am in Medan.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend checking the latest entry and visa information with the relevant Indonesian authorities or your local embassy, as well as any transit requirements for Singapore, before you travel.

For flights from Seoul to Medan via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Seoul Incheon Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and a relaxed walk to your boarding gate.

When connecting in Singapore, you will usually remain in the transit area between flights. Follow the transfer signs, check the screens for your next gate, and allow time to move between terminals if needed. Our ground staff are available to assist if you have questions or a shorter connection.

If your layover is long enough and you meet the entry requirements for Singapore, you may be able to clear immigration and explore the city before your onward flight to Medan. Always allow sufficient time to return, clear security, and reach your gate before boarding.
