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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be used to join the official transit tour into the city, which generally requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. If you prefer to stay airside, you can enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and quiet corners for relaxation. Airport hotels and showers are also available for extra comfort. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Delhi (DEL), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may have access to the Encalm Prive Lounge before departure, depending on cabin class or frequent flyer status. Access policies are based on your departing flight from Delhi and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance tier.

During your layover at Singapore (SIN), eligible passengers may be able to use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge eligibility is determined by your onward boarding pass from Singapore.

Delhi follows India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 year-round. Christchurch follows New Zealand Standard Time (NZST, UTC+12) from late April to late September, and New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT, UTC+13) from late September to early April. Christchurch is therefore 6.5 hours ahead of Delhi during NZST, and 7.5 hours ahead during NZDT.

Visa requirements for travel from Delhi to Christchurch depend on your nationality and purpose of visit. We recommend checking the latest entry rules with the relevant New Zealand authorities or your local consulate before you book and again before you travel.

For Singapore Airlines flights from Delhi to Christchurch via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Delhi Airport at least three hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and immigration formalities.

On arrival in Christchurch, you will follow signs to international arrivals for immigration, baggage claim, and biosecurity checks. New Zealand has strict rules on bringing in food and plant products, so we recommend declaring all items as required and following guidance from local officials.

Christchurch Airport is a short distance from the city centre, with options such as public transport, shuttle services, and taxis available outside arrivals. We recommend checking current transport choices and journey times in advance so you can choose the option that best suits your plans.
