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, longer layovers can be spent joining one of the official transit tours into the city, which typically requires a minimum of around 5.5 to 6 hours of transit time. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, and family-friendly facilities across the terminals. There are also airport hotels and snooze zones if you wish to rest between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Busan (PUS), eligible customers may access the Air Busan Lounge, subject to operating hours and conditions. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers can use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status.

For most single-ticket itineraries from Busan to New York with Singapore Airlines, we will check your baggage through to New York, so you do not need to collect it during your layover at Singapore Changi Airport. Always confirm at check-in, as through-check may vary for separate tickets or partner connections.

Busan follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) all year. New York observes Eastern Time, which is Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) from roughly November to March, and Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4) from roughly March to November. This means New York is 14 hours behind Busan in winter and 13 hours behind in summer.

From Busan, you will depart from Gimhae International Airport (PUS). You will connect at Singapore Changi Airport before continuing to New York, where flights typically arrive at a major New York airport such as John F. Kennedy International Airport or Newark Liberty International Airport, as indicated on your booking.

We recommend arriving at Gimhae International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore, as you will be connecting onward to New York. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and immigration formalities before boarding.

Visa and entry requirements for the United States depend on your nationality, purpose of travel, and length of stay. Before your trip, please check the latest information with the relevant embassies or official government sources, and ensure your passport and any required documents are valid for your journey.
