Most flights from Beijing to the Netherlands connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive facilities for transit passengers. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour into the city if timing permits, or relax in airport gardens, rest areas, and dining zones. Shorter connections are easily filled with a walk through the terminals, a shower, or a quiet stretch at a snooze lounge. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

The Netherlands uses Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2). Beijing operates on China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. From late March to late October, when the Netherlands observes daylight saving time, Amsterdam is 6 hours behind Beijing; during the rest of the year, it is 7 hours behind.

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