Most flights from London to South Korea connect at Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For shorter connections, you can enjoy indoor gardens, art installations, quiet rest areas, showers, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. With more time, you might explore attractions such as the indoor waterfall and canopy walkways in selected terminals, or relax at an airport hotel or spa. Free transit tours may be available for longer layovers, subject to operating hours and eligibility. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

South Korea (including Seoul and Busan) is typically 9 hours ahead of London when the United Kingdom is on Greenwich Mean Time (late October to late March). During British Summer Time (late March to late October), South Korea is usually 8 hours ahead of London, as South Korea does not observe daylight saving time.

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