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.

In New York, eligible passengers may access facilities such as Lounge & Co at Newark Liberty International Airport, and Virgin Clubhouse, Capital One Lounge, or Air India Maharaja Lounge at John F. Kennedy International Airport, depending on terminal and eligibility. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, according to cabin and membership status.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be used to join the official free transit tour into the city, which generally requires a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours. For shorter stays, you can explore indoor gardens, relaxation zones, play areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options within the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

If your flights from New York to Cebu are on a single Singapore Airlines or partner ticket, we will usually check your bags through to Cebu at departure, so you do not need to collect them in Singapore. Please confirm through-checking at check-in, as local regulations and ticketing conditions can affect this.

New York follows Eastern Time, which is UTC-5 in standard time (roughly November to March) and UTC-4 during daylight saving time (roughly March to November). Cebu follows Philippine Time, which is UTC+8 all year. Cebu is therefore 13 hours ahead of New York in winter, and 12 hours ahead in summer.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and travel purpose. We recommend that you check with the relevant embassies or official government websites before your trip, and ensure your passport has sufficient validity for entry into the Philippines and for transit in Singapore.

When you arrive in Cebu from New York via Singapore, you will clear immigration, collect your checked baggage, and pass customs at Mactan-Cebu International Airport. After exiting the arrivals hall, you will find transport options such as taxis, app-based services, and private transfers. Check local guidance for the latest information before you travel.

For flights from New York to Cebu via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and reaching your departure gate comfortably.
