Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Most flights from Los Angeles to Thailand connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive airside attractions and services. For shorter layovers, you can explore themed gardens, art installations, free rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. For longer daytime layovers, you may be able to join an official transit tour of the city, subject to timing and eligibility. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Thailand operates on a single time zone, Indochina Time (UTC+7), and does not observe daylight saving time. Los Angeles uses Pacific Time, which is typically 14 hours behind Thailand during Los Angeles standard time (roughly November to March), and 14 hours behind or 15 hours behind during other months depending on the date. Always check the exact local time close to your travel dates.

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.
