Most connections from Busan to the United States of America transit through Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join an official free city tour, relax in airport gardens, or visit attractions such as observation areas and themed zones. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring Changi’s terminals, with a wide choice of shops, dining, rest areas, and, for eligible customers, lounges where you can shower or freshen up. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Busan is usually 14 hours ahead of New York, which follows Eastern Time with daylight saving in similar months, increasing the difference to around 14 hours in summer and 15 hours in winter. Always check closer to departure, as time changes and local rules may adjust exact differences.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in United States of America 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 United States of America, 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.
