Most flights from Indonesia to New York connect through Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour of Singapore, subject to timing and eligibility, giving you a glimpse of the city between flights. For shorter connections, stay airside to enjoy Changi’s gardens, art installations, rest areas, and family zones, or relax in a lounge or airport hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Surabaya and Denpasar Bali use Central Indonesia Time (UTC+8), so New York is 13 hours behind in winter and 12 hours behind when daylight saving is in effect.
