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.

When departing from Zurich Airport on Singapore Airlines flights to Singapore and onward to Auckland, eligible passengers may be able to use facilities such as the Senator Lounge E or the SWISS Business Lounge E, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Access is determined by the conditions of your departing flight from Zurich.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may have access to The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Lounge access is based on your onward flight from Singapore.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be enhanced with the official Free Singapore Tour, which typically requires a layover of at least 5h 30m and lets you see key city sights without managing your own arrangements. For shorter transits, you can stay airside and enjoy peaceful gardens, rest areas, playgrounds, and a wide choice of shops and dining.

If you prefer to relax, airport hotels and quiet zones offer space to rest or freshen up between flights, and there are dedicated areas for stretching your legs with easy access to amenities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait – it is an integral part of your journey.

Zurich operates on Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Auckland uses New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) from late September to early April. This means the time difference ranges between 10 and 12 hours depending on the month.

We recommend that you arrive at Zurich Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore, as this is the first leg of your journey to Auckland. This allows enough time for check-in, security, and a relaxed walk to the gate.

When connecting at Singapore Changi Airport, you will follow clearly marked transfer signs after disembarking. If your bags are checked through to Auckland, you can remain airside and proceed directly to your next gate or enjoy airport facilities. Always check the departure terminal and boarding time for your onward flight on the screens.

For this long multi-sector journey, we suggest packing essential medications, travel documents, valuables, and a change of clothing in your cabin baggage. You may also wish to include basic toiletries that comply with liquid restrictions, as well as items such as a light jumper or scarf to stay comfortable in varying cabin temperatures.

If your Zurich to Auckland journey is booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, our team will normally tag your checked baggage through to Auckland at check-in in Zurich. At Singapore Changi Airport, you can stay in transit while we handle the transfer. Your baggage tag and boarding passes will show the final destination.
