Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can take advantage of extensive airside amenities, including indoor gardens, rest areas, and children’s play spaces. For longer layovers, you may join an official transit tour into the city, typically available for connecting times of about 5.5 hours or more. Shorter connections are best spent exploring the terminals, with their art installations, dining options, and quiet zones. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Zurich Airport (ZRH), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may be invited to use partner facilities such as the Senator Lounge E or SWISS Business Lounge E before the Zurich–Singapore sector, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be invited to The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by your onward boarding pass.

Zurich follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from roughly late March to late October. Taipei observes Taiwan Time (UTC+8) year-round. This means Taipei is 7 hours ahead of Zurich in winter, and 6 hours ahead during Zurich’s summer time.

We recommend arriving at Zurich Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure for Taipei via Singapore. This allows ample time for check-in, security, and reaching your gate, especially during busy travel periods.

Visa and entry requirements for Taipei depend on your nationality and travel history. We recommend checking with the relevant authorities or your local consulate, and reviewing the latest information close to your departure date.

Taipei Taoyuan International Airport is linked to the city by an airport MRT line, scheduled buses, and licensed taxis. The MRT offers a straightforward route into central Taipei, while buses and taxis provide additional options. Check local information on arrival to choose the best option for your plans.

Mobile data coverage is widely available in Taipei, and many hotels, cafés, and public spaces offer Wi-Fi. Contactless and card payments are accepted at many establishments, though smaller shops and markets may prefer local payment methods, so it is useful to have more than one way to pay.
