You will be served complimentary meals on both the Auckland–Singapore and Singapore–Kochi sectors, with menus featuring regional and international options tailored to the time of day.

Book the Cook
Eligible premium cabin passengers on the long-haul sector can pre-select from an expanded menu using our Book the Cook service, allowing you to choose your main course before you fly for a more personalised dining experience.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee, is available throughout the flight, and our signature Singapore Sling is served on board.

For flights between Auckland and Kochi, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are 25kg on Economy Class Lite and Value fares, 30kg on Economy Class Standard and Flexi fares, 35kg in Premium Economy Class, and 40kg in Business Class. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet on the Auckland–Singapore and Singapore–Kochi sectors. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is ideal 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 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 passengers may be able to use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and membership 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 Auckland but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is well suited to both short and longer layovers. With a layover of around 5.5 hours or more, you can consider joining one of the airport’s official transit tours into the city, which offer a glimpse of Singapore’s skyline and green spaces.

If you prefer to stay airside, you will find themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and family zones, as well as facilities such as pay-per-use lounges and airport hotels for added comfort. Dining and shopping options are extensive across the terminals.

For shorter layovers, it is easiest to remain within the transit area, follow the signs to your next gate, and then explore the nearby facilities at a relaxed pace. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Auckland operates on New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) from late April to late September, and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) from late September to late April. Kochi follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) year-round. This means Kochi is 6.5 hours behind Auckland during NZST, and 7.5 hours behind during NZDT.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Cochin International Airport when flying from Auckland 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 (Auckland–Singapore and Singapore–Kochi) 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 Kochi 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 Auckland–Kochi 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.
