Flights from Taipei (TPE) to New York (NYC)

In-flight Dining
You will be served meals tailored to the time of day and route, with menus designed for both the Taipei–Singapore and Singapore–New York sectors. Portions and timing are planned to help you feel comfortable throughout the long journey.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance to meet medical or dietary needs. Please place your request before your flight so we can prepare your meal and load it for both sectors of your trip.

Book the Cook
Eligible customers in premium cabins can pre-select main courses from our Book the Cook service on selected sectors, adding more choice to the dining experience between Taipei, Singapore, and New York.

Beverage Service
Throughout the flight, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, and hot beverages. A signature Singapore Sling cocktail is also available on board.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Taipei 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. Paid plans are available for non-members. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Taipei to Singapore sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on both the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-10. On the Singapore to New York sector, Premium Economy Class features a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class offers a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for long-haul comfort.

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 Taipei but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may be invited to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

If your layover is long enough, you can join one of Singapore Changi Airport’s official city tours, which usually require several hours between flights and allow you to see key highlights before returning airside. For shorter layovers, you can explore the airport’s indoor gardens, rest areas, and family-friendly spaces.

Singapore Changi Airport also offers a range of dining options, quiet zones, and in-terminal facilities such as swimming pools or cinemas in selected terminals, so you can tailor your time to how you feel on the day. Spa services, shower facilities, and transit hotels are available if you would like to refresh before your onward flight.

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

Taipei follows Taiwan Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. New York uses 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 typically 13 hours behind Taipei in winter and 12 hours behind in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to New York when flying from Taipei 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 (Taipei–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 Taipei–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.
