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 around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. For shorter stops, you can enjoy airside attractions such as indoor gardens, rest zones, and quiet seating areas, as well as a wide choice of dining and retail. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

In Auckland, eligible customers may use the Air New Zealand International Lounge before departure. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be invited to The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Access is governed by our lounge policies at the time of travel.

For most through tickets issued on a single itinerary from Auckland to Dubai, we typically check your baggage through to Dubai so you do not need to collect it in Singapore. You should confirm this at check-in in Auckland, as tagging depends on your booking details and any additional sectors.

Auckland follows New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13, roughly late September to early April). Dubai follows Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4) and does not observe daylight saving. Dubai is generally 8 hours behind Auckland in New Zealand winter, and 9 hours behind in New Zealand summer.

For flights from Auckland to Dubai via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Auckland Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows ample time for check-in, security screening, and immigration formalities before boarding your long-haul sector.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. You should check the latest entry rules for both Singapore (for transit, if applicable) and the United Arab Emirates before travel, using official government or embassy sources.

When connecting in Singapore on the way to Dubai, you will usually remain in the transit area between flights. Follow the transfer signs, check the screens for your onward gate, and allow time to walk between terminals if needed. Our ground staff will be available to assist with any connection queries.

Some fares allow you to stop over in Singapore for longer than a standard layover, while others require continuous travel. If you wish to spend extra time in Singapore, please check the fare conditions when booking or speak with your travel agent to ensure your ticket permits a stopover.
