In Premium Economy Class, Business Class, and First Class, a higher number of pieces and/or weight allowance applies.

For full details based on your specific ticket and cabin, please refer to your booking confirmation or our baggage information page.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Hong Kong to New Zealand once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, including those travelling in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, as long as your membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members, or those who do not register in time, can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic web browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers reliably.

Across the journey from Hong Kong to New Zealand, cabin classes may include First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. The Hong Kong–Singapore sectors can offer First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class depending on the aircraft, while the Singapore–Auckland and Singapore–Christchurch sectors operate with Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to New Zealand. 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

Most flights from Hong Kong to New Zealand connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour into the city, or visit airport attractions such as indoor gardens, a rooftop pool, and quiet rest areas. Shorter connections are easily spent airside, with abundant dining options, shopping, and showers to freshen up between flights. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Hong Kong is on Hong Kong Time (UTC+8). Auckland and Christchurch follow New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and move to New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) from late September to early April. This means New Zealand is typically 4 hours ahead of Hong Kong in winter and 5 hours ahead in summer.

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