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.

If your layover is long enough, you can join one of the official transit tour programmes from Singapore Changi Airport, which generally require at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. These tours let you see highlights of the city while still keeping your connection comfortable.

For shorter layovers, it is best to enjoy the amenities within Singapore Changi Airport itself. Depending on your terminal, you will find gardens, rest areas, shopping, dining, and shower facilities, as well as lounges where you can relax or work. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may use the SilverKris Lounge before their flight to Singapore. Lounge access depends on your cabin class and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, as shown on your boarding pass at check-in.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport on the way to New York, eligible customers may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin of travel and frequent flyer status. Lounge staff at check-in or transit counters can confirm which facility you can use.

Manila is in the Asia/Manila time zone, which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. New York is in the America/New_York time zone, which is UTC-5 during standard time (approximately November to March) and UTC-4 during daylight saving time (approximately March to November). This means New York is typically 13 hours behind Manila in winter and 12 hours behind in summer.

For flights from Manila to New York via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and immigration formalities before boarding your first sector.

Transit visa requirements depend on your nationality and travel documents. Many passengers can transit Singapore Changi Airport without a visa if they remain within the transit area, but this is not guaranteed for all. We recommend checking with the relevant authorities or your local embassy and reviewing current entry and transit guidelines before travel.

Our schedules from Manila to New York via Singapore are planned to offer convenient connection times. When you book a through-ticket with us, your itinerary will only include layovers that meet minimum connection requirements at Singapore Changi Airport, giving you time to transfer between gates and, where eligible, enjoy a lounge visit.

On arrival in New York, you will clear immigration and customs at your first entry point in the United States. Make sure your travel documents and arrival forms are ready before landing. After collecting your checked baggage and completing formalities, follow the signs to ground transport or connecting flights, and check local guidance for transport options into the city.
