Delhi operates on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) all year. Cape Town follows South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) and does not observe daylight saving. This means Cape Town is 3 hours 30 minutes behind Delhi throughout the year, regardless of the month you travel.

When you connect in Singapore on a single ticket, your checked baggage is usually tagged through to Cape Town, and you follow transfer signs on arrival at Singapore Changi Airport. Our ground staff and clear signage help you move between gates, and information screens display departure gates and boarding times.

If your journey from Delhi to Cape Town is booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we normally check your baggage through to your final destination at Delhi. You should still confirm your baggage tags and final routing at check-in, and keep essential items in your cabin baggage for the journey.

We recommend arriving at Delhi Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This allows time for check-in, security checks, and immigration, and gives you a more relaxed start before your multi-sector journey to Cape Town.
