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. Non-members can purchase access plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Auckland–Singapore sector operated by the Airbus A350-900, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class seats offer a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access.

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 relax in facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the 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 Auckland 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 consider joining the official free city tour, which typically requires a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. This lets you experience key highlights of Singapore before returning to the airport. For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable. Changi offers indoor gardens, rest areas, quiet zones, and family-friendly spaces where you can relax between flights. You can also enjoy a wide range of dining and shopping, or freshen up at airport hotels and shower facilities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Auckland operates on New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and observes New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) roughly from late September to early April. Beijing uses China Standard Time (UTC+8) year-round and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Beijing is 4 hours behind Auckland during NZST, and 5 hours behind during NZDT.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Beijing when flying from Auckland 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 (Auckland–Singapore and Singapore–Beijing) 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 Beijing 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 Auckland–Beijing 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.
