Eligible customers in selected premium cabins can pre-order from our Book the Cook service on the long-haul sectors of this journey. This allows you to choose from an expanded menu before you fly, subject to availability on your specific flight.

Throughout the flight, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices and hot chocolate, as well as the signature Singapore Sling, which is available on board in all cabins.

In Economy Class, the checked baggage allowance is 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. In Premium Economy Class, you can check in up to 35kg, while Business Class guests may check in up to 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights between Auckland, Singapore, and Rome once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Auckland–Singapore and Singapore–Rome sectors operated by the Airbus A350-900, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width. Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width. Business Class features a fully flat bed with every seat offering direct aisle access.

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 Auckland 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.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join one of the official transit tours into the city, which typically require a minimum connection time of around 5.5 to 6 hours. These tours allow you to see key highlights before returning comfortably in time for your next flight.

For shorter layovers, remaining airside is very convenient, with themed gardens, quiet rest zones, and relaxation areas spread across the terminals. You can also enjoy indoor attractions, viewing decks, and a variety of dining options without leaving the transit area.

If you prefer to rest, consider booking an airport hotel room or using designated nap areas 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 (UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) from roughly late September to early April. Rome observes Central European Time (UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from roughly late March to late October. This means the time difference ranges from 10 to 12 hours depending on the month and daylight saving changes in both locations.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Rome 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–Rome) 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 Rome 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–Rome 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.
