Most journeys from Manchester to India connect at Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can consider a free city transit tour when available, or explore airport attractions such as indoor gardens, art installations, rest areas, and swimming pool access in selected terminals. For shorter connections, you may prefer to stay near your departure gate, enjoy a meal, or relax in a lounge. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Manchester (United Kingdom) is usually on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and switches to British Summer Time (GMT+1) from late March to late October. Indian cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad all follow India Standard Time, which is GMT+5:30 and does not change with daylight saving. This means India is typically 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of Manchester in winter, and 4 hours 30 minutes ahead during British Summer Time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in India 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 India, 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.
