When you travel from Istanbul to Adelaide on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary via Singapore, we will normally check your baggage through to Adelaide. You can confirm this at check-in in Istanbul, and your baggage tags will show the final destination and transit details.

Istanbul (Asia/Istanbul) operates on UTC+3 year-round. Adelaide (Australia/Adelaide) uses Australian Central Standard Time at UTC+9:30 from roughly April to early October, and Australian Central Daylight Time at UTC+10:30 from early October to early April. Adelaide is therefore 6.5 or 7.5 hours ahead of Istanbul, depending on the time of year.

Visa requirements for travel from Istanbul to Adelaide depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the relevant Australian authorities or your local consulate before you book and again before you travel.
