Flights between New Zealand and Belgium use the weight-concept baggage allowance. In Economy Class, you can typically check a combined total starting from 25 kg. In Premium Economy Class, the allowance is higher, and in Business Class it is higher again, giving you more flexibility for longer trips. Cabin baggage limits apply for each class, with at least one standard carry-on item plus a personal item such as a handbag or laptop bag, within size and weight limits. Exact allowances depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket or our website before you travel.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Christchurch to Belgium once the aircraft is 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 purchase Wi-Fi plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Most journeys from Christchurch to Belgium connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed to make transit time feel relaxed and engaging. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy curated gardens, quiet rest areas, showers, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. If your layover is longer and timing permits, you may be able to join a free transit tour of Singapore or book an airport hotel for additional rest, subject to availability and entry requirements. Your time at the 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 New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13, typically late September to early April). Belgium uses Central European Time (UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2, typically late March to late October). This means Brussels is usually 11 hours behind Christchurch in New Zealand’s winter and 12 hours behind during New Zealand’s summer, with a one-hour shift when only one region is on daylight saving time.

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