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.

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. Eligible customers may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

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 Fukuoka but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities, so you can enjoy your layover without leaving the terminal. Depending on your time, you can explore indoor gardens, themed zones, rest areas, and a variety of dining options spread across the terminals. For longer layovers, official transit tours into the city are available for passengers who meet the minimum connection time requirements, letting you see highlights of Singapore before returning for your onward flight. Shorter layovers are well spent relaxing in quiet zones, freshening up, or browsing shops close to your departure gate. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Fukuoka follows Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) all year. Christchurch observes New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) roughly from late April to late September, and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) from late September to late April. This means Christchurch is typically 3 or 4 hours ahead of Fukuoka, depending on the time of year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Christchurch Airport when flying from Fukuoka 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 (Fukuoka–Singapore and Singapore–Christchurch) 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 Christchurch 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 Fukuoka–Christchurch 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.
