Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Switzerland. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass 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.

Most flights from Hangzhou to Switzerland connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers indoor gardens, walking trails, play areas, and quiet lounges. Depending on your layover time, you can enjoy the airport’s attractions, relax at a lounge or nap zone, or explore the wide range of dining and shopping options. For longer daytime layovers, you may be able to join an official transit tour of Singapore, subject to eligibility and timing. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Hangzhou follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Switzerland uses 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 Hangzhou in winter and 6 hours behind during daylight saving time.

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