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.

For a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join the official free transit tour into the city if your connection meets the minimum time requirement, typically around 5.5 to 6 hours. For shorter layovers, stay airside and enjoy gardens, quiet rest areas, shower facilities, and a wide range of dining and shopping.

Most long-haul international flights from Auckland arrive at Incheon International Airport, which is well connected to central Seoul by rail, bus, and authorised taxis. On arrival, follow signs for immigration and baggage claim, then choose your preferred transport option. It is best to check the latest airport and transport information before you travel.

Visa requirements for travel from Auckland to Seoul depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend checking with the relevant embassy or official government website well before your trip, and ensuring your passport has enough validity for your planned travel dates.

Seoul has four distinct seasons, so it is helpful to check the forecast for your travel dates. Pack layers for spring and autumn, lighter clothing for summer, and warm outerwear for winter. Comfortable walking shoes are useful year-round, and you may wish to bring a travel adapter for your electronic devices.
