Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Copenhagen to Christchurch once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet.

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 Copenhagen but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

In Singapore, eligible passengers may be invited to use lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be used to join an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires a minimum of about 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. This is a convenient way to see highlights of Singapore without managing your own transfers.

For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy terminal amenities such as themed gardens, quiet rest zones, curated retail, and a wide choice of dining. Some terminals also offer facilities like swimming pools, entertainment areas, and children’s play zones, which help the time pass comfortably.

If you prefer to rest, consider a transit hotel or designated rest areas within the terminals to freshen up between your Copenhagen and Christchurch sectors. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Copenhagen follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Christchurch follows New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) from late September to early April. This means Christchurch is typically 11 hours ahead of Copenhagen during the northern summer and up to 12 or 13 hours ahead during the northern winter, depending on overlapping daylight saving changes.

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