Flights between New Zealand and India use the weight concept for checked baggage. In Economy Class, you typically have at least 25kg of checked baggage, in Premium Economy Class at least 35kg, and in Business Class at least 40kg. Cabin baggage generally allows one carry-on in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, and two in Business Class, within size and weight limits. Exact allowances are shown on your ticket and may vary with fare type and KrisFlyer status.

Wi-Fi is available on most flights once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, including those in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, as long as your membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On routes from Auckland and Christchurch to Delhi, you can choose from Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. The long-haul sectors between New Zealand and Singapore offer all three cabins, while the Singapore–Delhi sector provides Business Class and Economy Class, so your overall cabin combination may differ by route.

In Economy Class, you can expect around a 32-inch seat pitch with up to 19-inch seat width. Premium Economy Class offers around a 38-inch seat pitch with up to 20-inch seat width for added comfort. Business Class seats convert into fully flat beds, and every seat has direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-10 used on these routes. Exact configurations may vary slightly by aircraft.

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

Most journeys from New Zealand to Delhi connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, stay airside to enjoy indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. With a longer connection, you may be able to join one of the airport s free transit tours into the city, subject to timing and eligibility. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Auckland and Christchurch share the same time zone. During New Zealand Standard Time (roughly April to late September), Delhi is 6.5 hours behind New Zealand. During New Zealand Daylight Time (roughly late September to early April), Delhi is 7.5 hours behind, as India does not observe daylight saving.

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