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.

In Auckland, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may use the Air New Zealand International Lounge before departure. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, access may be available to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on your cabin and frequent flyer status.

If your layover in Singapore is at least around 5.5 to 6 hours, you may have enough time to join an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside at Singapore Changi Airport and enjoy gardens, rest areas, play zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping options. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

If your Auckland to Taipei journey is booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary via Singapore, we will normally check your checked baggage through to Taipei. You can then follow the transit signs at Singapore Changi Airport without collecting your bags, unless instructed otherwise by our ground staff.

Auckland operates on New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) from roughly late September to early April. Taipei uses Taiwan Time (UTC+8) year-round. This means Taipei is 4 hours behind Auckland during New Zealand winter, and 5 hours behind during New Zealand summer.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of travel. We recommend that you check with the relevant authorities or your nearest consulate before departure to confirm the latest entry requirements for Taiwan.

For international flights from Auckland to Taipei via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Auckland Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows sufficient time for check-in, security checks, and immigration before you board your flight.

Taipei Taoyuan Airport is linked to the city by public transport and various transfer services. Options typically include rail links, bus services, and taxis, as well as pre-arranged transfers. You can check airport information on arrival to choose the option that best suits your schedule and comfort.

In Taipei, many hotels, cafes, and public spaces offer internet access, and you will find mobile connectivity widely available. Power sockets commonly use flat-pin plug types, so you may need a suitable travel adaptor. It is best to check your device compatibility before travelling.
