For journeys between the United States and Myanmar, the piece concept usually applies. In Business Class, you can typically check two pieces of baggage with a higher weight limit per piece. In Premium Economy Class and Economy Class, you can usually check at least one or two pieces with weight limits per piece that are lower than Business Class. All travellers may also bring cabin baggage, with allowances varying by cabin. Exact entitlements depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, which are shown during booking and on your e-ticket.

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

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Myanmar.

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

Lounge Access Eligibility

Most journeys from New York to Myanmar connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour of Singapore if your schedule and eligibility allow, or explore attractions such as indoor gardens, art installations, and a rooftop pool. For shorter connections, stay airside to enjoy quiet seating areas, rest zones, a wide range of dining options, and duty-free shopping, or relax in a lounge if you are eligible. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Myanmar observes Myanmar Time (MMT), which is UTC+6:30 with no daylight saving time. New York operates on Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−5) from roughly November to March and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC−4) from roughly March to November. This means Yangon is typically 10.5 hours ahead of New York during EST and 9.5 hours ahead during EDT.

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