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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be invited to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin class and frequent flyer 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 Christchurch but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be used to join the official free transit tour, which typically requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights and lets you see highlights of the city. Ask at the airport for the latest schedule, eligibility, and registration details.

For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, relaxation zones, play areas, and quiet seating throughout the terminals. Depending on the terminal, you may also find swimming pools, cinema facilities, or rest areas for a brief sleep or shower between flights.

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

Christchurch follows New Zealand Time, which is UTC+12 in winter and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) roughly from late September to early April. Hanoi follows Indochina Time at UTC+7 all year. This means Hanoi is 5 hours behind Christchurch in winter, and 6 hours behind during Christchurch’s daylight saving period.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Noi Bai International Airport when flying from Christchurch 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 (Christchurch–Singapore and Singapore–Hanoi) 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 Hanoi 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 Christchurch–Hanoi 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.
