Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Mumbai follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane generally run ahead at UTC+10, shifting to UTC+11 during daylight saving (typically October to early April) in Sydney and Melbourne, while Brisbane usually remains on standard time. Adelaide is typically UTC+9:30, moving to UTC+10:30 in daylight saving. Perth is usually UTC+8 with no daylight saving. Cairns and Darwin are often UTC+10 and UTC+9:30 respectively, with no daylight saving in Darwin and Cairns generally aligning with Brisbane’s time pattern. This means a time difference of roughly 4 to 5.5 hours ahead of Mumbai, depending on the city and time of year.

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