Most journeys from Bangladesh to New York connect through Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing. For shorter stops, stay airside to explore terminal gardens, art installations, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Airport hotels and pay-per-use lounges are also available if you prefer a shower or a nap. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Dhaka follows Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6), while New York follows Eastern Time. For most of the year, New York observes Eastern Standard Time (UTC−5), making New York 11 hours behind Dhaka. From roughly March to early November, New York switches to Eastern Daylight Time (UTC−4), so it is 10 hours behind Dhaka during this period.

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.
