Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at Singapore Changi Airport on connections from Switzerland to the Philippines.

Most flights from Switzerland to the Philippines connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for comfortable and engaging layovers. For shorter connections, you can stay airside and enjoy garden spaces, quiet rest areas, showers, playgrounds, and a wide range of shops and dining. If your layover is longer, you may join one of the airport´s free or paid city tours (subject to eligibility and schedule), or plan a brief visit into the city using efficient transport links. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Switzerland operates on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. Manila and Cebu follow Philippine Time (UTC+8) all year and do not observe daylight saving. This means that when Switzerland is on CET (roughly late October to late March), Manila and Cebu are 7 hours ahead, and when Switzerland is on CEST (roughly late March to late October), Manila and Cebu are 6 hours ahead.

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