For flights between Seoul and Auckland, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (Lite and Value fares: 25kg; Standard and Flexi fares: 30kg), Premium Economy Class (35kg), and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are: Economy Class and Premium Economy Class (1 piece up to 7kg), and Business Class (2 pieces, each up to 7kg). The final allowance for your trip is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available once your aircraft is above 10,000 feet on both sectors of the journey. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Seoul to Singapore sector, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, while Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for every seat. On the Singapore to Auckland sector, Economy Class has similar legroom with a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch width. Premium Economy Class offers a wider seat with about 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch width, and Business Class again features fully flat beds with direct aisle access.

Yes, you can select your seat in advance on Seoul to Auckland flights, subject to availability and the conditions of your fare type. Seat selection may be complimentary or chargeable depending on your cabin, fare family, and KrisFlyer membership tier. You can manage seat choices during booking or later via Manage Booking.

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.

If your layover is long enough, you can join one of the official transit tours from Singapore Changi Airport, which typically require at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. Shorter layovers can be spent enjoying the airport's gardens, rest areas, and family-friendly facilities within the transit areas. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Seoul Incheon (ICN), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers can access the SilverKris Lounge before their flight to Singapore. Access depends on your cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Lounge facilities typically include comfortable seating, refreshments, and spaces to work or relax before boarding.

You may be able to leave Singapore Changi Airport during your layover, provided your transit time is sufficient and you meet entry requirements for Singapore. We recommend allowing generous time for immigration, transport, and security checks on your return. Always check visa rules and current transit guidelines before planning to leave the airport.

Seoul follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) all year. Auckland observes New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) from roughly April to September, and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) from around late September to early April. This means Auckland is typically 3 or 4 hours ahead of Seoul, depending on the month.

Visa requirements for travel from Seoul to Auckland depend on your nationality, passport type, and length of stay. We recommend checking with the official New Zealand immigration authorities or your nearest New Zealand mission before you book, and again before departure, as entry rules can change.

For flights from Seoul Incheon to Auckland via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and any tax-refund or documentation checks, especially during busy travel periods.

When connecting in Singapore Changi Airport, follow the transit signs to your next gate or transfer desk. Your checked baggage is usually tagged through to Auckland if both flights are on a single ticket. Screens around the terminal show updated gate information, and there are transfer counters if you need assistance or have questions.

On arrival in Auckland, you will proceed through immigration, collect your checked baggage, and then clear biosecurity checks, which are strict about food, plant material, and outdoor equipment. Allow extra time to complete these formalities, and ensure you declare any relevant items on your arrival card.
