In Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, you can usually bring at least one checked bag within a set weight limit per piece, while First Class and Business Class customers enjoy a higher number of pieces or higher weight limits per piece.

In Economy Class, you typically enjoy a 32-inch seat pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, designed with ergonomic backrests and adjustable headrests for comfort on longer flights. Premium Economy Class offers a 38-inch seat pitch and up to 20-inch seat width, with a wider seat, deeper recline, and leg rest or footrest to help you relax.

First Class provides a very spacious seat that transforms into a fully flat bed, offering additional personal space and privacy. Different city pairs may use different aircraft, so exact configurations can vary slightly by route and travel date.

Most journeys from Switzerland to the United States of America connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed to make transit time comfortable and engaging. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy quiet resting zones, indoor gardens, art installations, and a wide choice of dining and shopping within the transit area, or simply relax and refresh in one of the lounges. For longer transits that meet the requirements, you may be able to join a free city tour to see highlights of Singapore before returning to the airport for your onward flight. 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 United States of America 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 United States of America, 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.

Switzerland follows Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. In the United States of America, New York operates on Eastern Time (UTC-5, switching to UTC-4 during daylight saving, usually March to early November), while Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco use Pacific Time (UTC-8, switching to UTC-7 during daylight saving). This means that when it is noon in Switzerland in winter, it is typically 6 a.m. in New York and 3 a.m. in the West Coast cities, and during summer, the difference usually narrows by one hour. Always check exact local times close to your travel dates, as daylight saving start and end dates differ between Europe and the United States of America.
