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.

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 Christchurch but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

In Singapore, eligible passengers may be invited to use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable and engaging layovers, with themed gardens, art installations, quiet seating, and relaxation zones throughout the terminals. For shorter connections, staying airside allows you to enjoy these facilities, along with a wide choice of dining and shopping options.

With a longer layover of about 5.5 to 6 hours or more, you can consider joining one of the airport’s free transit tour programmes into the city, subject to eligibility and timing. These guided tours showcase highlights of Singapore while ensuring you return in time for your onward flight.

If you prefer to rest, airport hotels and pay-per-use lounges within the terminals offer showers, quiet areas, and workspaces. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Christchurch operates on New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) from roughly late March to late September, and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) from late September to late March. Mumbai follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) year-round. This means Mumbai is typically 6.5 hours behind Christchurch in winter, and 7.5 hours behind during Christchurch’s daylight-saving period.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai when flying from Christchurch 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 (Christchurch–Singapore and Singapore–Mumbai) 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 Mumbai 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 Christchurch–Mumbai 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.
