Most journeys from Brisbane to Turkey connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer connections, you can consider exploring the airport's themed gardens, swimming pool, and walking trails, or, if time and entry rules permit, joining a transit tour to see parts of the city. Shorter layovers are well spent enjoying the airport's quiet rest areas, showers, family zones, and wide range of dining and shopping options. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Brisbane operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST, UTC+10) and does not observe daylight saving. Istanbul uses Türkiye Time (TRT, UTC+3) year-round without daylight saving. This means Istanbul is typically 7 hours behind Brisbane throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Turkey 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 Turkey, 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.
