Most connections from India to New Zealand route through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed to make transit time comfortable and engaging. For longer layovers, you can consider joining one of the airport s free guided city tours, subject to timing and eligibility, to get a taste of Singapore without managing your own transport. For shorter layovers, it is easy to stay airside and enjoy attractions such as indoor gardens, rest areas, children s play zones, and a wide range of shops and dining options. If you prefer to rest, you can book a nap room or an airport transit hotel located within the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

India follows Indian Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30, and does not observe daylight saving time. New Zealand generally uses New Zealand Standard Time (NZST), which is UTC+12, and New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT), which is UTC+13 during its summer months. This means that cities such as Auckland and Christchurch are usually 6 hours and 30 minutes ahead of India during New Zealand s standard time (roughly late March to late September), and 7 hours and 30 minutes ahead during New Zealand s daylight saving time (roughly late September to late March). You should check the exact difference close to your travel dates, as daylight saving start and end dates can vary slightly each year.

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.
