Most flights from Manchester to New Zealand connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for comfortable and varied transits. For longer layovers, you can explore indoor gardens, themed zones, and relaxation areas, or join one of the free transit tours that operate on selected schedules.

During British Summer Time (late March to late October) and New Zealand Daylight Time (late September to early April), the difference can shift, usually to 11–13 hours ahead depending on the overlap of daylight saving dates.

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.
