Most journeys from Hangzhou to Switzerland connect at Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing. For shorter waits, stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, swimming pools, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Airport hotels and nap facilities are also available if you want to rest between flights. 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 in summer.

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.
