Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft from above 10,000 feet.

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

Most connections from Ho Chi Minh City to India transit through Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour of Singapore, subject to timing and availability. For shorter stops, stay airside to enjoy indoor gardens, rest areas, play zones, quiet lounges, showers, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. If you prefer to rest, you can book an airport hotel or nap facility located within or close to the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Ho Chi Minh City follows Indochina Time (UTC+7). Most Indian cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad, use Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30). India does not observe daylight saving time, so it is typically 1 hour 30 minutes behind Ho Chi Minh City year-round.

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