Premium Economy Class usually offers a higher allowance, often starting from 35kg, while Business Class provides an even more generous allowance, often starting from 40kg.

Exact allowances can vary by fare type, so please check your ticket details or booking confirmation.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from the Philippines to Auckland once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members, or those who prefer, 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 reliably.

Most journeys from the Philippines to Auckland connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For shorter connections, you can relax in quiet seating areas, explore themed gardens, or enjoy the dining and shopping options close to your gate. For longer layovers, you might choose to visit additional terminals, use rest areas, or, if time and entry requirements allow, join a transit tour of Singapore. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Manila and Cebu share the same time zone, Philippine Time (UTC+8), and do not observe daylight saving time. Auckland operates on New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and moves to New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) typically from late September to early April. This means Auckland is usually 4 hours ahead of Manila and Cebu during New Zealand's standard time, and 5 hours ahead when New Zealand daylight saving time is in effect.

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