A wide range of hot and cold drinks is available throughout the flight, including juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and a selection of wines and spirits. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board.

For Auckland to Guangzhou flights, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 25kg on Lite and Value fares, or 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Premium Economy Class passengers have an allowance of 35kg, and Business Class passengers have 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg. Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final allowance will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines services once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet on this route. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, although Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Auckland to Singapore Airbus A350-900 sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class offers a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access.

On the Singapore to Guangzhou Boeing 787-10 sector, Economy Class seats also provide around a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class features a fully flat bed and direct aisle access. This ensures a consistent level of comfort across both sectors of your journey.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

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.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Auckland but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is well suited to longer layovers, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and entertainment zones across its terminals. For layovers of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining an official transit tour into the city, subject to operating hours and eligibility.

For shorter connections, you can stay airside and enjoy facilities such as indoor gardens, nap zones, children’s play areas, and a wide range of dining options. Airport hotels and paid lounges are also available if you prefer a quiet space to rest or work between flights.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Auckland follows New Zealand Standard Time (NZST, UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT, UTC+13, roughly late September to early April). Guangzhou follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving. Guangzhou is typically 4 hours behind Auckland in winter and 5 hours behind in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport when flying from Auckland via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Auckland–Singapore and Singapore–Guangzhou) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Guangzhou is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Auckland–Guangzhou trip, 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.
