Non-members can purchase access plans.

The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic web browsing. It does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, so we recommend downloading any heavy content before you travel.

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.

Eligible customers may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport, depending on cabin and status.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Xiamen but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers an official free transit tour for travellers with a longer layover, typically requiring at least around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights; this lets you see highlights of the city before returning for your onward journey.

If you prefer to stay airside, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, children’s play zones, and in selected terminals, attractions such as indoor slides, kinetic art, and relaxation spaces. Airport hotels and nap facilities are also available for rest between flights.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Xiamen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) year-round, with no daylight saving time. Auckland operates on New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) roughly from late April to late September, making Auckland 4 hours ahead of Xiamen. During New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13), roughly late September to late April, Auckland is 5 hours ahead.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Auckland Airport when flying from Xiamen via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Xiamen–Singapore and Singapore–Auckland) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Auckland is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Xiamen–Auckland trip, 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.
