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.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of attractions, from indoor gardens and art installations to quiet rest areas and transit hotels for longer breaks. If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you may have time to consider a city visit, subject to immigration and boarding requirements.

Shorter layovers are best spent exploring the terminals, where you can enjoy playgrounds, entertainment zones, and a variety of dining choices. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Christchurch Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use partner lounge facilities such as the Air New Zealand International Lounge before their flight to Singapore. Lounge access is determined by your cabin class, fare type, and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, as shown on your boarding pass.

When travelling from Christchurch to Hong Kong on a single Singapore Airlines booking via Singapore, we normally check your baggage through to Hong Kong. You will collect it only at your final destination. Your baggage tags and boarding passes issued at Christchurch will confirm the routing for your bags.

Christchurch follows New Zealand Standard Time (NZST, UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT, UTC+13) from roughly late September to early April. Hong Kong uses Hong Kong Time (HKT, UTC+8) all year. Christchurch is typically 4 hours ahead of Hong Kong in winter and 5 hours ahead in summer.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and length of stay. We recommend checking with the relevant consulate or official immigration website before you travel, and ensuring your passport and any required documents meet the latest entry conditions for Hong Kong and for transit in Singapore.

On arrival at Hong Kong International Airport, follow the signs for immigration, baggage reclaim, and customs. After exiting into the arrivals hall, you will find clear information points and transport options into the city, including trains, buses, and authorised taxis. Check local guidance for the latest transport and travel information.

For flights from Christchurch to Hong Kong via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Christchurch Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This gives you sufficient time for check-in, security screening, and to reach your departure gate comfortably.

Hong Kong can be warm and humid for much of the year, so light, breathable clothing and comfortable walking shoes are useful. Pack a light layer or scarf for air-conditioned indoors and the aircraft cabin. For current weather conditions and any local guidelines, check closer to your departure date.
