Flights between Switzerland and the United States follow the piece-concept baggage allowance. In Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, you can usually check in two pieces of baggage, and in Business Class and First Class you can usually check in two or more pieces with higher limits. Cabin baggage allowances also vary by cabin, with at least one standard-sized carry-on plus a personal item. Exact allowances are shown during booking and on your e-ticket.

Non-members can purchase paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Most journeys from Switzerland to Los Angeles connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside to explore gardens, quiet zones, and family areas, or enjoy the shops and dining in the terminals. With longer transit times, you may join one of the free airport city tours when available, or book an airport hotel or lounge access to rest between flights. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Zurich operates on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and observes daylight saving time, switching to Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) roughly from late March to late October. Los Angeles follows Pacific Time, using Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC−8) and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC−7) over a similar period. This means the time difference between Zurich and Los Angeles is typically 9 hours when both are on standard time, and 9 hours or sometimes 8 hours during overlapping daylight saving periods, depending on the exact dates of the clock changes.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles, 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.
