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.

When departing from Christchurch, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be able to access the Air New Zealand International Lounge at Christchurch International Airport, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Access is subject to the lounge's operating hours and capacity.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers on the Christchurch to Bangkok route may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities, including indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, children’s play zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping options, making it easy to relax between flights. For longer layovers, you may wish to join one of the airport's official city tours, which usually require a minimum transit time of around 5.5 to 6 hours. For shorter transits, staying airside allows you to enjoy amenities such as snooze areas, spa services, and walking trails between terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend checking with the Thai embassy or consulate, or your local government travel advisory, before you book and again before you depart, as entry rules can change.
