Most journeys from Switzerland to the Maldives connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited for both short and longer layovers. For shorter connections, you can stay airside and enjoy gardens, quiet rest areas, family zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. With a longer layover, you can consider joining one of the airport-organised transit tours into the city, subject to entry requirements and tour availability, or relax at an airport hotel or spa. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Switzerland uses Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. The Maldives, including Male, is on Maldives Time (MVT, UTC+5) all year and does not observe daylight saving. This means that in Swiss winter, the Maldives is 4 hours ahead of Switzerland, and during Swiss summer, it is 3 hours ahead.

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