Most flights from Maldives to New Zealand connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers a wide range of ways to spend your time in transit. For longer layovers, you can join one of the free transit tours, relax in gardens and quiet zones, or freshen up at airport hotels and rest areas. Shorter layovers can be enjoyed with a walk through themed zones, a visit to play areas or entertainment venues, or a meal at the many dining outlets near your gate. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in New Zealand when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner operated onward flights, a through check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to New Zealand, 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.

Maldives operates on Maldives Time (UTC+5) with no daylight saving, while New Zealand uses New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13). From late September to early April, New Zealand daylight saving time usually makes New Zealand 7 or 8 hours ahead of Maldives, depending on the time of year and whether you are comparing to New Zealand's North or South Island cities. During the New Zealand winter months, the difference is typically 7 hours, with cities such as Auckland and Christchurch ahead of Male.
