Non-members and additional users can purchase Wi-Fi plans onboard.

Most flights from Darwin to France connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy gardens, walking routes, art installations, and a wide choice of dining and shopping, or relax in a lounge. If your layover is longer and timing permits, you can consider exploring more of the airport precinct or resting at an airport hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Darwin operates on Australian Central Standard Time (UTC+9:30) and does not observe daylight saving. Most of France, including Paris, uses Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means France is typically between 7.5 and 8.5 hours behind Darwin, depending on the time of year.

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