Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Most flights from Shenzhen to Switzerland connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive facilities for different layover lengths. For a shorter layover, you can explore themed gardens, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping within the terminals. With a longer connection, you may be able to join a free transit tour of the city or relax in a lounge or airport hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shenzhen 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 7 hours behind Shenzhen in winter and 6 hours behind during daylight saving time.

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.
