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.

For a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can consider joining the official free city tour if your connection meets the minimum layover time, usually around 5.5 to 6 hours. For shorter stays, relax in the airport’s themed gardens, rest areas, or entertainment zones, and explore a wide choice of dining and shopping. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Delhi (DEL), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may be invited to use designated departure lounges, such as the Encalm Prive Lounge, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by your departing flight from Delhi and your eligibility at check-in.

In most cases, when you travel on a single Singapore Airlines ticket from Delhi to New York via Singapore, we check your baggage through to New York so you do not need to collect it during the layover. Your baggage tags and boarding passes will confirm this at check-in.

Delhi follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) all year. New York typically follows Eastern Standard Time (UTC−5) from around November to March, making it 10.5 hours behind Delhi, and Eastern Daylight Time (UTC−4) from around March to November, when it is 9.5 hours behind.

Our flights from Delhi connect via Singapore to New York, where we operate into John F. Kennedy International Airport or another New York–area airport as indicated on your ticket. Your e-ticket itinerary shows the exact arrival airport and terminal for your journey.

We recommend arriving at Delhi Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time for flights to New York via Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and immigration, as well as a relaxed walk to your gate.

When connecting in Singapore on a single ticket, you usually stay within the transit area and follow the signs to your next departure gate. Our ground staff and information screens will guide you. If you have a longer layover, you can explore airport facilities or visit a lounge if you are eligible.

Transit visa requirements depend on your nationality and the conditions of your journey. Many travellers can remain in the transit area without a visa, but some nationalities may require one. We recommend checking with the relevant authorities or your nearest embassy before you travel.
