Most flights from Los Angeles to Vietnam connect via Singapore Changi Airport, where you will find themed gardens, art installations, rest areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options within the terminals. For longer layovers, you can explore more of the airport’s attractions or relax in a hotel within or near the terminals, while shorter connections are comfortably spent moving between gates and enjoying a meal or shower. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Vietnam uses a single time zone. Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi all share the same local time. Vietnam is typically 14 hours ahead of Los Angeles when Los Angeles is on Pacific Standard Time (roughly November to March), and 15 hours ahead when Los Angeles is on Pacific Daylight Time (roughly March to November).

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