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.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join one of the official transit tours into the city, which generally require a minimum of around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy attractions such as indoor gardens, rest areas, and curated retail and dining.

Depending on your terminal and eligibility, you may relax in facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge before your onward flight to Hong Kong. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

Lounge access depends on your cabin, KrisFlyer status, and Star Alliance eligibility.

When you travel from New York to Hong Kong on a single Singapore Airlines ticket via Singapore, we will usually check your baggage through to your final destination at check-in. You will not need to collect it in Singapore during your layover, unless advised otherwise by our airport staff.

New York follows Eastern Time, which is UTC-5 in winter (approximately November to March) and UTC-4 in summer during daylight saving time (approximately March to November). Hong Kong stays on Hong Kong Time all year, which is UTC+8. This means Hong Kong is 13 hours ahead of New York in winter and 12 hours ahead in summer.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. We recommend checking the latest information with the relevant consulate or an official government website before you travel, and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity beyond your intended stay.

From Hong Kong International Airport, you can reach the city using options such as airport express rail, public buses, hotel shuttles, or taxis. Journey times into central areas are typically under an hour. As services and routes may change, please check current transport information on arrival or in advance of your trip.

On arrival in Hong Kong, follow signs for immigration and baggage reclaim. Have your passport, completed arrival card if required, and any supporting documents ready. After collecting your checked baggage, proceed through customs and into the arrivals hall, where you will find clear signage for transport, information counters, and onward connections.

Hong Kong can be warm and humid for much of the year, so light, breathable clothing and comfortable walking shoes are useful. Air-conditioned malls and transport can feel cool, so a light layer is recommended. For the flight, consider an eye mask, neck pillow, and any personal items that help you rest on long journeys.
