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 Christchurch but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible travellers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive amenities for all lengths of layover. For longer connections of at least 5.5–6 hours, you can consider a city tour or short city visit, subject to immigration requirements and timing. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy airside attractions such as indoor gardens, relaxation zones, and a wide choice of dining options within the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Christchurch follows New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) roughly from late September to early April. Phnom Penh follows Indochina Time (UTC+7) year-round. This means Phnom Penh is 5 hours behind Christchurch during NZST, and 6 hours behind during NZDT.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Phnom Penh 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–Phnom Penh) 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 Phnom Penh 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–Phnom Penh 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.
