Chongqing follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. New York observes Eastern Time, which is UTC-5 from roughly November to March, and UTC-4 from roughly March to November during daylight saving time. This means New York is typically 13 hours behind Chongqing in winter and 12 hours behind in summer.

For flights from Chongqing to New York via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, baggage drop, immigration, and security checks before you proceed to the boarding gate.

Visa and entry requirements depend on your nationality, travel purpose, and length of stay in the United States, as well as any plans to enter Singapore during your transit. We recommend checking with the relevant embassies or official government websites, and ensuring your passport and documents meet all requirements before you travel.

After arriving in New York, you will need to clear immigration, collect your checked baggage, and pass customs. Keep your travel documents and arrival forms easily accessible. Once you exit the arrivals hall, you will find clearly signposted options for trains, buses, and authorised taxis; check local information to choose the option that best suits your plans.

Some tickets allow a stopover in Singapore, while others only permit a same-day connection. If you wish to spend extra time in Singapore, please review the conditions of your fare during booking or contact us or your travel agent. You should also ensure that you meet any entry requirements for Singapore.
