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.

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 Shenzhen but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport.

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options without leaving the terminals. For longer layovers of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you may join one of the official free transit tours into the city, subject to eligibility and operating hours. Shorter connections are easily filled with terminal walks, relaxation zones, or a visit to the airport's attractions in the public and transit areas. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Shenzhen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year, with no daylight saving. Auckland uses New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) from around late April to late September, making Auckland 4 hours ahead of Shenzhen, and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) from late September to late April, when Auckland is 5 hours ahead.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Auckland Airport when flying from Shenzhen 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 (Shenzhen–Singapore and Singapore–Auckland) 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 Auckland 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 Shenzhen–Auckland 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.
