Flights from Sydney to Chennai are typically operated with one stop via major international hubs. Popular airlines include:
There’s currently no non-stop service between Melbourne and Chennai, so every option involves one stopover. Singapore is the most common transit point on this route, with Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok also used by some airlines – see our guide to stopover cities between Australia and India for more on choosing one. Airlines regularly flying this route include Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Scoot, SriLankan Airlines, Emirates and Qatar Airways, each routing through their own hub city.
Which stopover suits you best often comes down to layover length, onward connection times and whether you’d like a longer break to explore the transit city along the way.

Total travel time typically runs from around 13 to 20 hours, depending on the airline, the stopover city and how long your connection is. Shorter, well-timed connections through hubs like Singapore tend to bring the total journey time down, while longer layovers add to it. Fares and exact timings vary by season and airline, so it’s worth comparing live options before you book. Our complete guide to Australia-India flight duration breaks this down further if you’re planning around a specific arrival time.
