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, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest zones, and a broad choice of dining and shopping. With a longer layover, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city, subject to minimum connection times and programme availability. For shorter stops, staying airside lets you explore terminals, relax in seating areas, or freshen up at airport facilities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In Bengaluru, eligible customers may be invited to use the 080 International Lounge before departure. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status.

When you travel from Bengaluru to Christchurch on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we normally check your checked baggage through to Christchurch at Bengaluru, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore. Your baggage tags and boarding passes will confirm the final tagged destination at check-in.

Bengaluru follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) all year. Christchurch follows 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. This means Christchurch is 6.5 hours ahead of Bengaluru in winter and 7.5 hours ahead in summer, approximately.

You will depart from Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR) and, after a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, arrive at Christchurch Airport (CHC), the main international gateway for the South Island.

We recommend arriving at Kempegowda International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security, immigration, and reaching your departure gate comfortably.

Visa and entry requirements for New Zealand depend on your nationality, purpose of travel, and length of stay. We advise checking the latest information with the relevant government authorities or your nearest New Zealand mission before your trip.

On arrival in Christchurch, you will pass through immigration, collect your checked baggage, and then clear customs and biosecurity checks. New Zealand applies strict rules around bringing food and other items, so it is important to review local regulations before you travel and declare any relevant items on arrival.
