Exact entitlements depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, so please refer to your booking for details.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Brisbane to Switzerland once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited access when their membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure, including in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class. Non-members and guests who prefer not to log in can choose from paid Wi-Fi plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers reliably.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Switzerland. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Most journeys from Brisbane to Switzerland connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive facilities for transit passengers. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, showers, and a wide selection of dining and shopping options within the terminals. With a longer connection, you may join a free transit tour of Singapore if your eligibility and timings align, or relax in an airport hotel or lounge for extra comfort. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Switzerland operates on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and observes daylight saving time as Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. Brisbane typically runs on Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and does not observe daylight saving. This means Switzerland is usually 8 or 9 hours behind Brisbane, depending on the time of year.

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