Booking Direct Through Singapore Airlines
Flying from Singapore to Queenstown requires a short 1-2 hours layover in Australia (usually Melbourne and Sydney) before you carry on the rest of your journey with their partner airlines under the codeshare agreement (Virgin Australia/Air New Zealand)
Here’s what it would cost to book the direct flight on Singapore Airlines between Singapore and Queenstown.
Booking Through a Third Party Website
We used a third party booking website SkyScanner and found the exact same flight with the same date and time.
We saved a total S$495.60 by booking the exact same flight coded from Singapore Airlines. This is the beauty about booking code share flights.

What surprised us is how you can book the fares at a really good bargain — so much so that you can find some of the packages (flight + hotel) being cheaper than the fares (flight only) if you book directly from the Singapore Airlines’s website.
Here are some examples:
Bangkok (22 – 24 May 2019)
Singapore Airlines Holidays: S$309.24 for 2 (Flight + 2 Night Hotel Stay)
In the event you are not satisfy with the hotel and wish to make another hotel booking, you may contact their Customer Service Team or you can do so at your own discretion. Note, however, the latter will be at your own expenses. In any case, whether you stay in the hotel or not, you would have already save on the fares alone, so it makes absolute sense to book via Singapore Airlines Holidays than directly from singaporeair.com.
