Most flights from Brussels to New Zealand connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive facilities for both short and longer layovers. For shorter connections, you can explore themed gardens, relaxation areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping within the terminals. With more time, you might join one of the airport’s free transit tours into the city, subject to timing and eligibility, or enjoy premium lounges and transit hotels for deeper rest. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

New Zealand generally operates on New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and observes daylight saving time, shifting to UTC+13 from late September to early April. Auckland and Christchurch share the same time, which places them typically 10 to 12 hours ahead of Brussels, depending on overlapping daylight saving changes in Belgium (late March to late October) and New Zealand.

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.
