Most journeys from the United Kingdom to Dubai with Singapore Airlines connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join one of the airport’s complimentary transit tours into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, or explore the airport’s attractions such as indoor gardens, themed zones, rest areas, and play spaces. For shorter transits, stay airside to enjoy dining, shopping, shower facilities, and quiet lounges across the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait, it is an integral part of your journey.

London and Manchester share the same time zone. From late March to late October, the United Kingdom observes British Summer Time (UTC+1), while Dubai stays on Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4), making Dubai 3 hours ahead. From late October to late March, the United Kingdom moves to Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0), so Dubai is 4 hours ahead.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Dubai, 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.
