Most flights from New Zealand to Italy connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For shorter connections, you can stay airside and explore the terminals, enjoying indoor gardens, art installations, rest areas, and a wide mix of dining outlets. On longer layovers, you may have time to join one of the airport’s free transit tours into the city, subject to schedule and eligibility. You can also consider a quick visit to the rooftop pool or a nap at an airport hotel if you prefer to remain airside. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

New Zealand operates on New Zealand Standard Time (NZST, UTC+12) and observes New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT, UTC+13) from late September to early April. Most of Italy, including Rome and Milan, follows Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means the time difference between New Zealand and Italy can range from 10 to 12 hours depending on the time of year, so it is worth checking exact local times and planning for jet lag when you travel.

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