Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights between France and New Zealand once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your KrisFlyer membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional users can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board.

On routes between France and New Zealand, Singapore Airlines offers First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. Aircraft and cabin configurations can vary between specific Paris–Auckland and Paris–Christchurch services, so the exact combination of cabins available on your flight will depend on your chosen departure and the operating aircraft.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of around 32 inches, with seat widths of up to 19 inches, depending on aircraft type. Premium Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 38 inches and seat widths of up to 20 inches, along with enhanced recline and leg support. In Business Class, seats convert into fully flat beds and provide direct aisle access on most aircraft. In First Class, you will have a spacious fully flat bed and a larger personal space. Cabin layouts may differ slightly between the Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A350-900, so specific legroom can vary by aircraft and seat position.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from France to New Zealand, primarily at Singapore Changi Airport. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available. Lounge Access Eligibility Cabin Class: Complimentary for 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.

Most journeys from France to New Zealand connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For shorter connections, you can relax in quiet zones, visit themed gardens, browse shops, or enjoy a meal at one of the many dining options. For longer layovers, you might explore attractions such as the indoor waterfall and canopy walkways in Jewel Changi Airport, or rest at an airport hotel or spa. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

France generally operates on Central European Time (UTC+1) and observes daylight saving time, moving to Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. New Zealand uses New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) from late September to early April. This means the time difference between Paris and cities such as Auckland or Christchurch is usually 10 to 12 hours ahead, depending on the time of year and overlapping daylight saving changes, so it is worth checking the exact difference 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.
