Flights between Switzerland and South Korea generally use the weight concept for checked baggage. In Economy Class, you typically have a standard checked baggage allowance, with a higher allowance in Premium Economy Class, and an even more generous allowance in Business Class and First Class. All travellers may bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits appropriate to their cabin. Exact entitlements depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, as shown during booking and on your e-ticket.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Zurich to South Korea once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, including those in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, when your membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and guests can purchase paid plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Most journeys from Zurich to South Korea connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For shorter connections, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping airside. With a longer layover, you may join a free transit tour, relax in a pay-per-use lounge, or visit the rooftop pool and attractions in the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Zurich follows Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. South Korea, including Seoul and Busan, uses Korea Standard Time (KST, UTC+9) year-round with no daylight saving. This means South Korea is typically 8 hours ahead of Zurich in winter and 7 hours ahead when Switzerland observes daylight saving time.

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