Exact allowances depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your booking confirmation for full details.

Most flights from Colombo to Italy connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for comfortable transits. For longer layovers, you can explore the terminals' gardens, rest zones, and entertainment areas, or consider an official city transit tour if timing and entry requirements suit you. Shorter layovers are easily spent airside, with shower facilities, quiet seating, and a wide choice of dining and shopping close to the gates. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Colombo operates on Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Most of Italy, including Rome and Milan, uses Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means Italy is typically 4 hours behind Colombo in winter and 3 hours behind in summer.

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