Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines services from Paris to Christchurch once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The connection supports messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Premium Economy Class provides around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width.

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.

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 Paris but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may enjoy The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join a guided city tour when available, typically suited for layovers of around 5.5 hours or more between flights. For shorter connections, staying airside gives you access to themed gardens, quiet zones, rest areas, and entertainment facilities to refresh between sectors. Airport hotels and shower facilities are available if you would like extra rest before continuing to Christchurch. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Paris operates on Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Christchurch follows New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13). This means Christchurch is typically 11 hours ahead of Paris in the European winter and up to 11–12 hours ahead in the European summer, depending on overlapping daylight saving changes.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Christchurch Airport when flying from Paris 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 (Paris–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 Paris–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.
