On these routes, the available cabin classes are Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. Business Class typically offers a higher checked baggage allowance in kilograms, while Premium Economy Class and Economy Class include lower, tiered allowances.

For the exact baggage allowance that applies to your ticket, please refer to your booking confirmation or the baggage section on our website before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from New Zealand to Vietnam once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your KrisFlyer membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure so the benefit can be applied. Non-members, or those who prefer not to register, can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is ideal for messaging apps, email, and basic web browsing, but it may not support high-bandwidth activities such as video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On routes from New Zealand to Vietnam operated by Singapore Airlines, you can choose from Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from New Zealand to Vietnam, most commonly at Singapore Changi Airport. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available. Lounge Access Eligibility Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers.

Most flights from New Zealand to Vietnam with Singapore Airlines connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers a wide range of ways to spend your time between flights. For longer layovers, you can consider joining one of the airport's free guided transit tours into the city, subject to timing and eligibility, giving you a glimpse of Singapore before continuing your journey. Shorter layovers can be comfortably spent airside, where you will find indoor gardens, rest areas, play zones, and a choice of dining and shopping. If you prefer to freshen up and relax, you can visit an airport lounge if eligible or book a room at an airport hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Vietnam observes a single time zone, Indochina Time (UTC+7), all year round without daylight saving. New Zealand typically uses New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) in summer months, usually from late September to early April. This means that when New Zealand is on standard time, Vietnam is 5 hours behind, and when New Zealand is on daylight saving time, Vietnam is 6 hours behind. The same offset applies whether you are flying from Auckland or Christchurch to Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, or Hanoi.

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