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 your layover is at Singapore Changi Airport and you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours, consider joining an official transit tour into the city, which lets you see key sights without arranging your own transport. For shorter layovers, stay airside and enjoy gardens, walking trails, rest areas, and playgrounds.

Singapore Changi Airport also offers a wide range of dining and shopping, as well as quiet zones and snooze areas where you can relax between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

At New York John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may access selected partner lounges before their departing flight. Lounge access depends on your cabin class and frequent flyer status, and details will be confirmed in your booking or at check-in.

For most through-ticketed itineraries from New York to Fukuoka on Singapore Airlines, we check your baggage through to Fukuoka, so you do not need to collect it at Singapore. Your baggage tag and boarding passes issued at check-in will confirm this; our team will advise you if any exception applies.

New York operates on Eastern Time, which is UTC-5 in winter (roughly November to March) and UTC-4 in summer (roughly March to November) when daylight saving time is in effect. Fukuoka follows Japan Standard Time all year, which is UTC+9. This means Fukuoka is 14 hours ahead of New York during Eastern Standard Time and 13 hours ahead during Eastern Daylight Time.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and duration of your stay. We recommend checking with the relevant embassy or official government website before you travel, and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity for entry into Japan and for your return journey.

For flights from New York to Fukuoka via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before departure. This allows time for check-in, security, and any exit formalities, as well as a relaxed boarding experience, especially for long-haul flights.

When connecting in Singapore, follow the transit signs to your next departure terminal and refer to airport screens for gate information. In most cases you will remain airside and do not need to clear immigration. Leave some time for security screening at the gate, and enjoy the airport amenities between flights.

Some tickets allow you to schedule a longer stopover in Singapore, while others require a continuous connection. If you wish to spend extra time in Singapore, please check the conditions of your fare during booking or contact us or your travel agent to discuss stopover options.
