Most journeys from London to New Zealand connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for easy and enjoyable transits. For longer layovers, you can join a free city transit tour or explore attractions such as indoor gardens, walking trails, and a rooftop pool in selected terminals. Shorter connections can be spent browsing shops, sampling local and international dining, or relaxing in quiet seating zones and pay-per-use lounges. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Auckland operates on New Zealand Standard Time (NZST), which is typically 11 hours ahead of London when the United Kingdom is on Greenwich Mean Time (late October to late March in London). During British Summer Time (late March to late October) and New Zealand Daylight Time, the difference is usually 11 to 13 hours, depending on the overlap of daylight saving periods.

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.
