Most itineraries from Italy to New York include a layover at Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free city transit tour or explore attractions such as gardens, themed zones, and viewing decks within or near the terminals. For shorter connections, stay airside to enjoy quiet seating areas, showers in selected lounges, and a wide choice of dining. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Rome and Milan share the same time zone. They follow Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. New York follows Eastern Time, which is UTC-5 in winter and UTC-4 in summer. This means New York is typically 6 hours behind Italy during the European winter and 6 hours behind during most of the summer, although there may be brief periods around clock changes when the difference shifts by one hour.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to New York 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 New York, 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.
