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 use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

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

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join an official transit tour into the city, which generally requires a layover of at least 5.5 to 6 hours. This lets you see highlights of Singapore between your flights without managing your own city transfer.

For shorter layovers, staying airside offers plenty to do, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, entertainment zones, and art installations spread across the terminals. You can also freshen up with shower facilities or book an airport hotel for a few hours of sleep.

Families will find play areas and attractions to keep children occupied, while solo travellers can enjoy calm seating zones or a leisurely meal. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Christchurch operates on New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and observes New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) roughly from late September to early April. Nagoya uses Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) year-round and does not observe daylight saving. This means Nagoya is typically 3 hours behind Christchurch in winter and 4 hours behind in Christchurch’s summer.

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