Flights from Christchurch (CHC) to Indonesia

Yes, meals are served on flights from Christchurch to Indonesia. On the long-haul Christchurch–Singapore sector, you can enjoy our In-flight Dining with full meals designed for the time of day, along with snacks on longer stretches.

On flights between New Zealand and Indonesia, Singapore Airlines generally applies the piece concept for checked baggage. In Economy Class, you can usually check in at least one piece of baggage within a set weight limit. In Premium Economy Class, a higher checked baggage allowance applies. In Business Class, you can check in an even more generous amount. All travellers may also bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits appropriate to their cabin class. Specific allowances depend on your booking, so please refer to your e-ticket or our baggage information page before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Christchurch to Indonesia once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional users can choose from paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

From Christchurch to Singapore, you can choose from Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. On onward flights from Singapore to Jakarta, you can travel in First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, or Economy Class. On flights between Singapore and Denpasar Bali, Medan, and Surabaya, Business Class and Economy Class are available. Cabin configurations may therefore differ depending on your final Indonesian destination.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable legroom for long journeys. Premium Economy Class offers about 38 inches of pitch with up to 20 inches of seat width, giving extra space to stretch out. In Business Class, your seat converts into a fully flat bed, with every seat offering direct aisle access on long-haul and many regional services. On routes where First Class is available, you can enjoy a spacious fully flat bed and enhanced personal space. Available cabin layouts vary slightly by aircraft and by whether you are flying on the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 777-300ER, or Boeing 737-8 MAX.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Indonesia. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass 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.

Most flights from Christchurch to Indonesia connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free city transit tour if your schedule allows, or explore the airport’s attractions such as indoor gardens, art installations, quiet rest areas, and swimming pool, depending on the terminal. Shorter layovers are well spent enjoying the terminal facilities, including showers, dining options, and, for eligible customers, access to lounges where you can rest or work. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Jakarta, Surabaya, and Medan generally observe Western Indonesia Time, which is usually 5 hours behind Christchurch during New Zealand Standard Time (NZST, around late April to late September) and 6 hours behind during New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT, late September to late April). Denpasar Bali follows Central Indonesia Time, which is typically 4 hours behind Christchurch in NZST and 5 hours behind in NZDT. Actual differences may vary slightly on the specific days when clocks change in New Zealand.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Indonesia 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 Indonesia, 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.
