Flights from India to Europe

Yes, we serve meals on all flights from India to Europe, including both the India–Singapore and Singapore–Europe sectors. You can expect thoughtfully designed menus that reflect regional flavours alongside international favourites, with meals served at appropriate times during your journey.

We also offer a selection of special meals that can be requested in advance to suit different dietary preferences and needs. For many premium cabins on eligible flights, our Book the Cook service allows you to pre-select from a wider range of main courses before you travel.

Throughout the flight, you can enjoy a curated beverage selection including soft drinks, juices, hot drinks, and a range of alcoholic options. Our signature Singapore Sling is available on many routes, adding a distinctive touch to your inflight experience.

On flights from India to Europe, Singapore Airlines generally applies the weight-concept baggage allowance, as these are international journeys beyond the Americas. In Economy Class, you can usually check in a combined weight allowance across your bags, while Premium Economy Class, Business Class, First Class, and Suites offer higher checked baggage allowances. Cabin baggage limits also apply for all cabins to ensure comfort and safety on board.

Exact allowances can differ depending on your route, cabin class, and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, so we recommend checking your e-ticket or our website for the details that apply to your specific booking. The same allowance typically covers both your India–Singapore and Singapore–Europe sectors on a single itinerary.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft once the flight has reached above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members receive free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your KrisFlyer membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure to enjoy this benefit.

If you are not a KrisFlyer member or prefer to purchase a plan, a range of paid Wi-Fi options is available on eligible aircraft. These plans are designed for messaging apps, email, and general web browsing.

The connection is not intended for high-bandwidth activities such as video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, which may be restricted to maintain a stable experience for all users on board.

Across our India–Europe network, you can choose from Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, Business Class, First Class, and Suites, depending on the specific route and aircraft. All routes in this network offer Economy Class and Business Class, while Premium Economy Class is widely available on long-haul sectors between Singapore and Europe and on many India–Singapore flights.

First Class and Suites are offered on selected routes operated by the Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A380-800, typically on busy long-haul sectors such as those between Singapore and cities like London, Frankfurt, Paris, and Zurich. Cabin configurations can vary by aircraft type and route, so when you book you will see which cabins are available for your chosen flights.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, offering balanced legroom and comfort for long journeys. In Premium Economy Class, seats provide around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width, with extra recline and leg support for added relaxation.

Business Class on these routes features seats that convert into fully flat beds, with every seat designed to provide direct aisle access on most long-haul aircraft. This makes it easier to rest properly on overnight or multi-sector journeys.

On selected flights operated by the Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A380-800, First Class and Suites offer fully flat beds with even more personal space and privacy. Cabin layouts differ by aircraft and route, so specific configurations, including seat maps, can be viewed during the booking process.

Most flights from India to Europe with Singapore Airlines connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers a wide choice of ways to spend your layover. For longer waits, you can consider joining one of the free city transit tours, which introduce you to key sights while keeping your journey simple and structured.

If you prefer to stay airside, Changi Airport has indoor gardens, rest areas, shower facilities, family zones, and a variety of dining and shopping options spread across the terminals. Eligible travellers can also relax in airline or partner lounges to enjoy quieter spaces, refreshments, and work-friendly seating.

Whether you explore the airport or rest between flights, planning how you will use your time can make the connection feel smooth and restorative. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

India operates on India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. Many of the European countries served on these routes use Central European Time (CET) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST) in summer. Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, and the Netherlands typically observe UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 from late March to late October, making them 4.5 hours behind India in winter and 3.5 hours behind in summer.

The United Kingdom operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in winter and British Summer Time (BST) in summer. This means London and Manchester are usually 5.5 hours behind India in winter and 4.5 hours behind in summer, with clocks changing around late March and late October. Turkey, including Istanbul, currently observes Turkey Time (TRT) at UTC+3 year round, which makes it 2.5 hours behind India throughout the year.

Because daylight saving changes can differ slightly by year and country, it is a good idea to confirm the exact local time difference for your travel dates. Your booking itinerary and smartphone time settings can help you keep track of local times as you move between India, Singapore, and your final destination in Europe.

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