Premium Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 38 inches and up to 20 inches of width, along with enhanced recline and leg support.

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.

For longer layovers at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join one of the airport’s official transit tours into the city, usually requiring a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours, subject to the programme’s conditions. This is a relaxed way to see highlights of Singapore without handling your baggage.

If you prefer to stay airside or have a shorter layover, Changi Airport offers themed gardens, peaceful rest areas, children’s play zones, and a wide selection of shops and dining options across the terminals. You can also freshen up with shower facilities or rest in designated quiet zones.

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

When departing from Copenhagen Airport on your journey to Christchurch, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use the SAS Scandinavian Lounge, depending on their cabin class or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status. Lounge access is confirmed at check-in or on your boarding pass.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Exact access will be indicated on your boarding pass or advised at the transfer desk.

For Singapore Airlines flights from Copenhagen to Christchurch via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Copenhagen Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and any tax refund or shopping you may wish to do before boarding.

On arrival in Christchurch, you will proceed through immigration, collect your checked baggage, and clear customs and biosecurity checks. New Zealand has strict rules on bringing in food, plant material, and outdoor equipment, so you should declare any relevant items and follow the instructions of airport officers.
