Most flights from Chennai to Belgium connect via Singapore Changi Airport.

For shorter waits, stay airside and enjoy lush indoor gardens, butterfly and sunflower spaces, themed zones, quiet rest areas, children play areas, and a wide choice of dining. Airport hotels and nap facilities are also available if you prefer to rest in privacy. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Chennai operates on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Belgium, including Brussels, uses Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) typically from late March to late October. This means Belgium is 3.5 to 4.5 hours behind Chennai, depending on the time of year.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Belgium, 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.
