Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from New Zealand to Bengaluru once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, including those travelling in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, provided your membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and those without a linked KrisFlyer number can purchase Wi-Fi plans onboard. Connectivity is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from New Zealand to Bengaluru.

Most journeys from New Zealand to Bengaluru connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For a longer connection, you can consider a free transit tour of Singapore, subject to eligibility and timing, to get a taste of the city without handling your baggage. For shorter layovers, stay airside to enjoy indoor gardens, art installations, quiet rest areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options across the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it´s an integral part of your journey.

Bengaluru follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) and does not observe daylight saving time. Auckland and Christchurch follow New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13, typically late September to early April). This means Bengaluru is 6.5 hours behind New Zealand during standard time, and 7.5 hours behind during New Zealand daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Bengaluru 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 Bengaluru, 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.
