Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in selected cabins on this route can use our Book the Cook service from Singapore and certain departure points, reserving their main course in advance from an extended menu. This allows you to personalise your dining experience before you board.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from New York to Hong Kong once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the New York–Singapore and Singapore–Hong Kong sectors operated by the Airbus A350-900, Business Class offers a fully flat bed with every seat having direct aisle access. Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch seat pitch and up to 20-inch seat width. On the Singapore–Hong Kong sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and membership status.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The Next Segment Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from New York but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If you have enough time between flights, you can consider joining an official transit tour from Singapore Changi Airport into the city; these typically require a layover of at least 5.5 to 6 hours. For shorter connections, staying airside offers plenty of options, from themed gardens and quiet rest zones to family-friendly play areas and art installations.

Singapore Changi Airport also features walking routes, free seating areas with charging points, and a wide range of dining outlets if you prefer to stay close to your departure gate. Airport hotels and rest facilities are available in some terminals, allowing you to shower or take a nap between sectors.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

New York follows Eastern Time, which is UTC-5 in winter (roughly November to March) and UTC-4 during daylight saving time (roughly March to November). Hong Kong stays on Hong Kong Time all year, at UTC+8. This means Hong Kong is 13 hours ahead of New York in winter, and 12 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Hong Kong International Airport when flying from New York via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (New York–Singapore and Singapore–Hong Kong) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Hong Kong is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your New York–Hong Kong trip, 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.
