You can request a range of special meals to suit your needs when you book or manage your booking in advance.

Flights between Germany (DE) and New Zealand (NZ) use the weight-concept baggage allowance. In Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, you can typically check in baggage up to a set weight limit and divide it into multiple pieces, as long as no single item exceeds the maximum size and weight. Business Class, First Class, and Suites usually enjoy a higher checked baggage allowance. For all cabin classes, you are also entitled to cabin baggage within specified size and weight limits. Exact allowances can vary by fare type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket or the Singapore Airlines website before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft once the flight 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 to enjoy this benefit. Non-members and those who prefer not to link their membership can purchase Wi-Fi plans onboard. The connection is suitable for messaging apps, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across the routes between Germany and New Zealand, you can find Suites, First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class, depending on the specific flight combination via Singapore.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at Singapore Changi Airport on connections from Germany to New Zealand. 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 journeys from Germany to New Zealand connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive facilities for different layover lengths. For longer transits, you can explore themed gardens, take a dip in a rooftop pool, visit art installations, or even join a free city transit tour if your schedule and eligibility allow. For shorter layovers, you might prefer to stay near your gate, relax in quiet rest areas, recharge devices, or enjoy dining and shopping in the terminal. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Germany operates on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and observes daylight saving time as Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. New Zealand cities such as Auckland and Christchurch are on New Zealand Standard Time (NZST, UTC+12), shifting to New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT, UTC+13) from late September to early April. This means the time difference is usually 10 or 11 hours when Germany is on standard time, and 10 or 12 hours when daylight saving changes occur in one country but not the other, so it is helpful to check an updated world clock close to your travel date.

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.
