On flights from Xiamen to Switzerland, you will connect at Singapore Changi Airport. If you have several hours, you can join a free city tour when available, or explore the airport’s attractions such as indoor gardens, themed zones, and rest areas. Shorter layovers can be spent enjoying showers, lounges, dining options, and quiet corners to relax before your next flight. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Xiamen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Switzerland uses Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means Switzerland is typically 7 hours behind Xiamen in winter and 6 hours behind during daylight saving time.

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.
