Most journeys from France to New York route via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive airside attractions. For longer layovers, you can join a free Singapore city transit tour when available, giving you a glimpse of the skyline and key landmarks. Shorter connections can be spent enjoying indoor gardens, rest areas, showers, or the many shopping and dining options within the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Paris operates on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and observes daylight saving time, switching to Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. New York operates on Eastern Time, using Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC-5) and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC-4). This means New York is normally 6 hours behind Paris in winter and 6 hours or sometimes 5 hours behind during parts of the summer, depending on the exact daylight saving changeover dates each year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to New York when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to New York, 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.
