Most journeys from Zurich to India connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can consider a free transit tour into the city when available, or explore the airport’s attractions such as indoor gardens, art installations, rest areas, and swimming pool. Shorter layovers are comfortable spent airside, with plentiful dining, shopping, and quiet zones, as well as airport hotels and nap spaces in selected terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

India follows a single time zone, Indian Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30. Zurich is usually on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means India is typically 4.5 hours ahead of Zurich in winter, and 3.5 hours ahead in summer for all cities served, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad.

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.
