Most journeys from New York to France with Singapore Airlines connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour subject to timing and eligibility, or explore the airport s themed gardens, swimming pool, and rest areas. Shorter layovers are easily filled with a shower, a meal at one of many dining options, or time in a lounge if eligible. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Paris operates on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. New York is on Eastern Time (UTC-5) and Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4). The time difference is usually 6 hours, reducing to 5 hours during overlapping daylight saving periods.

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