Most journeys from Malaysia to Zurich connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, to see highlights such as the waterfront and city skyline. For shorter connections, stay airside to enjoy indoor gardens, art installations, quiet rest zones, showers, and a wide range of dining options across the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Kuala Lumpur and Penang share the same time zone, Malaysia Time (UTC+8). Zurich follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means Zurich is typically 7 hours behind Malaysia in winter and 6 hours behind in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Zurich 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 Zurich, 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.
