Flights from Auckland (AKL) to Busan (PUS)

In-flight Dining
On the long-haul Auckland to Singapore sector, you will be served complimentary meals tailored to the time of day, with a selection of main courses and accompaniments in every cabin. On the Singapore to Busan sector, a further meal or snack service is offered to keep you comfortable.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance to meet medical or lifestyle needs. Simply place your request through Manage Booking or with your travel agent before your flight so we can prepare it for you.

Book the Cook
Eligible customers in selected premium cabins can pre-select from an extended menu on the long-haul sector using our Book the Cook service, subject to availability and route eligibility. This lets you reserve a main course that suits your preferences before you fly.

Beverage Service
Throughout the journey, you can enjoy a choice of hot and cold drinks. A selection of wines and other beverages is available, and our signature Singapore Sling is served on board to passengers in all cabins.

For flights between Auckland and Busan, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are as follows: Economy Class passengers may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, or 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares; Premium Economy Class passengers may check 35kg; Business Class passengers may check 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

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

On the Auckland to Singapore Airbus A350-900 sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access at every seat. On the Singapore to Busan Boeing 737-8 MAX sector, Economy Class provides a 32-inch pitch and comfortable seat width, while Business Class offers a fully flat bed with direct aisle access.

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.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Auckland but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible customers may be invited to lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be used to join the official free city tour, which typically requires several hours between flights and lets you see highlights of the city before returning to the terminal. You should check the latest conditions and minimum layover time for this programme. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones within the terminals. Facilities such as snooze lounges, playgrounds, and quiet corners make it easy to rest between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Auckland operates on New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and observes New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) roughly from late September to early April. Busan follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) and does not observe daylight saving. This means Busan is 3 hours behind Auckland in winter, and 4 hours behind during Auckland’s daylight saving period.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Gimhae International Airport when flying from Auckland via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Auckland–Singapore and Singapore–Busan) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Busan is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Auckland–Busan trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
