Most journeys from New York to Brunei Darussalam connect through Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour of Singapore, subject to timing and eligibility, to see highlights of the city before returning airside. For shorter connections, stay inside the terminal and enjoy Changi’s gardens, themed zones, rest areas, showers, and wide range of dining and shopping options, or relax in a lounge if you have access.

This means Bandar Seri Begawan is usually 13 hours ahead of New York in winter and 12 hours ahead in summer.
