Most flights from New York to Italy connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for smooth and enjoyable transits. With a longer layover, you can join an official transit tour of the city, subject to eligibility and timing, or explore themed gardens, art installations, and rest areas within the terminals. For shorter connections, stay airside to enjoy lounges, showers, quiet zones, shopping, and varied dining options. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Rome and Milan both follow Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2). New York is on Eastern Time (UTC−5, or UTC−4 in summer). For much of the year, Rome and Milan are 6 hours ahead of New York, shifting briefly to a 5-hour difference around the start and end of daylight saving changes in March and October.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Italy 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 Italy, 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.
