Most journeys from Hong Kong to New York connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can consider the free transit tour when available, or simply enjoy the airports gardens, art installations, rest areas, and swimming pool. For shorter layovers, stay airside, explore the terminals, dine, or relax in a lounge or quiet zone. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Hong Kong observes Hong Kong Time (UTC+8) all year. New York usually observes Eastern Time, which is UTC-5 during standard time (roughly November to March) and UTC-4 during daylight saving time (roughly March to November). This means New York is typically 12 or 13 hours behind Hong Kong, depending on the month.

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.
