Most connections from Xiamen to France route through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options inside the terminals. If your layover is longer, you can consider the free Changi Airport transit tour, subject to eligibility and timing, to enjoy a quick introduction to the city. For shorter transits, you might prefer to stay airside, relax in a lounge, or freshen up at airport facilities. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Xiamen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Paris usually operates on Central European Time (UTC+1) from late October to late March, and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) during daylight saving from late March to late October. This means Paris is typically 7 hours behind Xiamen in winter and 6 hours behind in summer.

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