Flights from Auckland (AKL) to Phuket (HKT)

In-flight Dining
You will be served meals on both sectors of your journey from Auckland to Phuket. On the longer Auckland to Singapore flight, menus feature a choice of main courses and regionally inspired flavours, while the Singapore to Phuket sector offers a shorter meal service designed to fit the flight time.

Special Meals
We offer a wide range of special meals, which you can request in advance to suit your dietary needs. These are prepared separately and served on board with the same level of care as our regular menus.

Book the Cook
On eligible sectors and in selected cabins, you can pre-select from a curated Book the Cook menu before departure. This service lets you choose from additional main course options, prepared specially for your flight.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee, is available throughout your journey. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, so you can enjoy a classic taste of Singapore during your flight.

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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can make use of gardens, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city when available, provided you meet the minimum connection time and entry requirements.

If you prefer to stay airside, look for quiet zones to rest, indoor gardens, and family-friendly play areas. Selected terminals also have facilities such as swimming pools or cinemas. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Auckland, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use a partner facility such as the Air New Zealand International Lounge, depending on their class of travel or frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by the airline operating your next flight and the conditions of your ticket.

During your layover at Singapore, eligible passengers may have access to facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Exact access will follow the rules linked to your departing flight to Phuket.

Auckland operates on New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and observes New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) roughly from late September to early April. Phuket follows Indochina Time (UTC+7) year-round. This means Phuket is 5 hours behind Auckland in winter, and 6 hours behind when Auckland is on daylight saving time.

From Auckland, you will connect via Singapore and arrive at Phuket International Airport, which serves the island and its main beach and town areas. The airport is located in the north of the island, with road links to resorts along the west coast and to Phuket Town.

Our schedules are designed to offer a comfortable connection at Singapore Changi Airport between your Auckland and Phuket flights. Minimum connection times are built into our booking engine, but we recommend allowing extra time if you prefer a more relaxed transit or wish to explore the terminals.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and the purpose of your visit. You should check the latest entry rules for both Singapore and Thailand with the relevant authorities or official government websites before you travel, and ensure your passport has sufficient validity.

On arrival in Phuket, you will clear immigration, collect your checked baggage, and pass customs before exiting into the arrivals area. From there you can choose between various transport options to reach your accommodation. It is a good idea to have your hotel address written down and to check current local transport information in advance.
