Most journeys from Switzerland to Tokyo connect through Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can consider joining one of the airport’s free transit tours into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, or explore themed gardens, art installations, and quiet rest areas inside the terminals. Shorter connections are well spent enjoying the airport’s dining, duty-free shopping, and relaxation zones close to your departure gate. 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 Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2, typically late March to late October). Tokyo uses Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9) all year. This means Tokyo is usually 8 hours ahead of Zurich in winter and 7 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tokyo 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 Tokyo, 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.
