Most journeys from Adelaide to India connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for easy and enjoyable transfers. For shorter layovers, you can relax in quiet zones, explore indoor gardens, visit themed zones, or enjoy a meal with runway views; eligible travellers may also use Singapore Airlines lounges. With a longer layover, you can consider a swim, spa treatment, or shopping in the extensive retail areas, or join an official transit tour when available and time permits. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

India observes a single time zone, India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 with no daylight saving. Adelaide operates on Australian Central Standard Time (ACST, UTC+9:30) and Australian Central Daylight Time (ACDT, UTC+10:30). This means India is usually 4 hours behind Adelaide during ACST (roughly April to early October) and 5 hours behind during ACDT (roughly early October to early April), for cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Kochi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, and Chennai.

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