Most journeys from Kolkata to Switzerland connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free city transit tour when available, or explore highlights such as indoor gardens, walking trails, and viewing decks. For shorter waits, stay airside to enjoy quiet seating areas, shower facilities, playgrounds, and a wide choice of dining and shopping close to your gate. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Kolkata (India Standard Time, UTC+5:30) is typically 4 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Switzerland during Central European Time (UTC+1), which runs from late October to late March. During Central European Summer Time (UTC+2), from late March to late October, Kolkata is 3 hours and 30 minutes ahead.

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.
