Most journeys from Hangzhou to the United Kingdom connect through Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can explore the airport’s themed gardens, free movie theatres, and art installations, or relax in a transit hotel or spa. With sufficient time and depending on eligibility and schedule, you may also consider a city tour to see highlights of Singapore before returning airside. For shorter connections, enjoy the terminal facilities, including dining, shopping, and rest areas close to your departure gate. 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). London and Manchester use Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) in winter and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) from late March to late October. This means the time difference is typically 8 hours during UK winter and 7 hours during UK summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in the United Kingdom 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 the United Kingdom, 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.
