At Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy indoor gardens, themed zones, rest areas, and a wide selection of dining and shopping without leaving the terminal. If you have a longer layover of around 5.5 hours or more, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing.

On a single Singapore Airlines itinerary from Taipei to New York, we usually check your baggage through from Taipei to your final destination, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore.

When you arrive in New York from Taipei, you will go through United States immigration, customs, and baggage claim at your first point of entry. Allow additional time for these formalities, and keep your travel documents, accommodation details, and onward transport plans easily accessible.

For flights from Taipei to New York via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport at least 3 hours before departure. This gives you time for check-in, security screening, and a relaxed visit to the departure area or lounge before boarding.

The journey from Taipei to New York crosses many time zones, so adjusting your sleep before travel, staying hydrated, and moving around the cabin periodically can help. During the layover at Singapore Changi Airport, try to align your meals and rest with New York time to ease the transition.
