For flights between Medan and Beijing, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class passengers may take 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares, while Business Class passengers may take up to 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, and Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final allowance for your trip 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 from Medan to Beijing once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and Economy Class and Business Class passengers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Boeing 737-8 MAX and Airbus A350-900 operating between Medan, Singapore, and Beijing, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access, allowing you to rest comfortably throughout the journey.

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 Medan but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible customers may use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable transit, with themed gardens, rest zones, and playgrounds for families. If your layover is at least 5.5 hours, you may join a free transit city tour, subject to availability and timing, to enjoy a brief introduction to Singapore before returning to the airport.

For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and explore facilities such as indoor gardens, walking trails, quiet seating areas, and a wide choice of dining options. Some terminals also offer nap areas and airport hotels that can be booked for a rest between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Medan follows the Asia/Jakarta time zone, which is UTC+7 and does not observe daylight saving time. Beijing follows the Asia/Shanghai time zone, which is UTC+8 and also does not observe daylight saving time. This means Beijing is 1 hour ahead of Medan throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Beijing when flying from Medan 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 (Medan–Singapore and Singapore–Beijing) 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 Beijing 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 Medan–Beijing 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.
