Non-members and additional users can purchase paid Wi-Fi plans. The connection is suitable for messaging apps, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers reliably.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Thailand. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Most flights from New York to Thailand connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for comfortable and engaging layovers. For shorter connections, you can explore terminal attractions such as indoor gardens, art installations, and rest areas, or enjoy a meal and a refreshing shower. On longer layovers, you may have time to visit additional terminals, relax in a lounge, or join one of the airport’s guided experiences if available during your transit window. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Bangkok and Phuket share the same time zone, Indochina Time (ICT), which is UTC+7 and does not observe daylight saving time. New York operates on 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 Thailand is typically 12 hours ahead of New York during standard time and 11 hours ahead when daylight saving time is in effect in New York.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Thailand 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 Thailand, 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.
