Most journeys from Busan to the United States of America connect through Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can explore gardens, walking trails, and attractions across the terminals, or relax in a transit hotel. For shorter connections, you might prefer to stay near your gate area, enjoy a meal, or freshen up with shower facilities. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Seattle and San Francisco are typically 16 hours behind Busan, observing Pacific Time with daylight saving from March to November. Los Angeles shares the same time zone as Seattle and San Francisco. New York is usually 14 hours behind Busan, observing Eastern Time with daylight saving over similar months. Time differences can vary by one hour when daylight saving changes, so it is best to check close to your travel date.

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.
