Flights from Copenhagen (CPH) to New York (NYC)

In-flight Dining
On Copenhagen–Singapore and Singapore–New York flights, you will be served meals designed for long-haul comfort, with menus that reflect both international favourites and Asian-inspired dishes, along with light bites for in-between times.

Special Meals
We offer a wide selection of special meals on this route, which you can request in advance through Manage Booking. These cater to various dietary needs and are prepared with the same care as our standard menus.

Book the Cook
Eligible customers in selected premium cabins can use our Book the Cook service on the long-haul sectors, pre-ordering main courses from an expanded menu for a more personalised dining experience.

Throughout the flight, you can enjoy a range of hot and cold drinks. A signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, alongside other beverages to complement your meal or to enjoy while you relax.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Copenhagen to New York once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

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.

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 Copenhagen but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible passengers may be invited to relax in the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of ways to spend your layover, from themed gardens and art installations to rest areas and quiet zones. For longer connections, you can explore additional facilities such as transit hotels, spa services, or swimming pools within the terminals.

If your layover is long enough, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city, which usually requires a minimum of around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. This allows you to see a selection of Singapore's highlights before returning to the airport in time for your onward flight.

For shorter layovers, staying airside ensures a relaxed connection, with abundant dining options, retail, and play areas for families. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Copenhagen follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from roughly late March to late October. New York follows Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4) in summer. This means New York is typically 6 hours behind Copenhagen in winter and 6 hours behind in much of the summer, with brief periods around clock changes when the difference may be 5 or 7 hours. You should always check the exact time difference for your travel dates.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to New York when flying from Copenhagen 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 (Copenhagen–Singapore and Singapore–New York) 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 New York 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 Copenhagen–New York 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.
