Most flights from Chennai to France connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers gardens, playgrounds, rest areas, and extensive shopping and dining within the terminals. For longer layovers you can join a free transit tour, relax in a lounge, or freshen up with a shower facility or transit hotel.

Chennai follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Most of France, including Paris, uses Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means France is typically 4 to 3.5 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 France, 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.
