Most flights from Thailand to New York connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive airside facilities. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour, relax in indoor gardens, or visit quiet rest areas and play zones. Shorter connections can be spent exploring the terminal’s art, shops, and dining, or simply unwinding near your gate. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Bangkok and Phuket share the same time zone, Indochina Time (UTC+7), with no daylight saving time. New York follows Eastern Time, which is typically UTC-5, switching to UTC-4 during daylight saving time (usually from March to early November). This means New York is normally 12 hours behind Thailand, shifting to 11 hours behind during the daylight saving months.

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.
