Most connections from Europe to India with Singapore Airlines transit through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for comfortable layovers of many lengths. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and explore the terminals, where you will find indoor gardens, rest areas, quiet zones, children’s play spaces, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. If your layover is longer, you might choose to visit additional amenities such as swimming pools, pay-per-use lounges, or airport hotels conveniently located inside or near the terminals. Whatever you choose, clear wayfinding and efficient security and immigration processes help keep your transit smooth, so your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in India when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to India, 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.

India operates on a single time zone, Indian Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. In much of Western and Central Europe, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Switzerland, local time is typically UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer, due to daylight saving time generally from late March to late October. This means these countries are 4.5 hours behind India in winter and 3.5 hours behind in summer. The United Kingdom observes Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) in winter and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) in summer, making it 5.5 hours behind India in winter and 4.5 hours behind in summer. Turkey, including Istanbul, usually operates on UTC+3 year-round, so it is 2.5 hours behind India throughout the year. When planning your flights and any onward connections in India, it is helpful to double-check local times close to your date of travel, particularly around the start or end of European daylight saving periods.
