Most flights from Italy to New Zealand connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for comfortable and engaging layovers. For shorter connections, you can enjoy lush indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, useful amenities, and a wide choice of dining.

Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Italy operates on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2, typically from late March to late October). New Zealand uses New Zealand Standard Time (NZST, UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT, UTC+13, typically from late September to early April). This means that Auckland and Christchurch are usually 10 to 12 hours ahead of Italy, depending on overlapping daylight saving periods, so it is worth checking the exact local time for your travel dates.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in New Zealand when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to New Zealand, 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.
