Flights from Zurich (ZRH) to Taipei (TPE)

In-flight Dining
You will be served complimentary meals on both the Zurich–Singapore and Singapore–Taipei sectors, with menus designed to suit the length and timing of each flight. Dishes are freshly prepared and paired with a selection of breads and desserts.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on this route to accommodate different dietary needs. These must be requested in advance through your booking or via our Manage Booking portal, and will be served at the same time as the main meal service.

Book the Cook
Eligible premium cabins on the Zurich–Singapore sector can pre-select main courses through our Book the Cook service, giving you additional choice beyond the onboard menu. Selections are available for a limited time before departure, so we recommend confirming your choice early.

Beverage Service
Throughout your journey, you can enjoy hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, coffee, and tea. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, alongside a curated list of wines and other beverages.

For Zurich–Taipei flights, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (25kg on Lite and Value fares; 30kg on Standard and Flexi), Premium Economy Class (35kg), Business Class (40kg), and First Class (50kg). Each checked bag may not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are: Economy Class and Premium Economy Class (1 piece up to 7kg), and Business Class and First Class (2 pieces, each up to 7kg). Your exact allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on both the Zurich–Singapore and Singapore–Taipei sectors once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Zurich–Singapore sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class offers a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, Business Class converts into a fully flat bed with direct aisle access, and First Class provides a spacious fully flat bed. On the Singapore–Taipei sector, Economy Class offers a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Zurich but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible customers may use facilities such as The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable transits, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and family-friendly zones spread across the terminals. For shorter layovers, you can relax in seating areas, freshen up with shower facilities, or enjoy the many dining and shopping options within the transit area. On longer connections, you can explore attractions such as indoor gardens and play zones, or consider a formal city transit tour if your schedule and entry requirements allow. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Zurich follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Taipei observes Taiwan Time (UTC+8) all year. This means Taipei is 7 hours ahead of Zurich in winter, and 6 hours ahead when Zurich is on summer time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Taipei Taoyuan International Airport when flying from Zurich via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Zurich–Singapore and Singapore–Taipei) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Taipei is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Zurich–Taipei trip, 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.
