Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Lounge Access Eligibility

For most journeys from Zurich to Thailand, you will connect at Singapore Changi Airport. If you have a longer layover, you can consider joining one of the airport's free transit programmes into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, or simply enjoy the airport's indoor gardens, rest areas, and wide range of dining and shopping. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the themed zones, making use of relaxation spaces, or freshening up at a transit hotel or shower facility. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Zurich follows Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2, typically late March to late October). Thailand, including Bangkok and Phuket, uses Indochina Time (UTC+7) all year and does not observe daylight saving. This means Thailand is usually 6 hours ahead of Zurich in winter and 5 hours ahead in summer.

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