On the New York–Singapore sector, the Airbus A350-900 offers Premium Economy Class with a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class with a fully flat bed and direct aisle access from every seat. These features are designed for rest on the ultra long-haul sector.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

Eligible customers may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge in Singapore, depending on cabin and status.

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.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from New York but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of facilities that make layovers comfortable and enjoyable. For longer connections of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining an official transit tour to see highlights of the city before returning to the airport. Shorter layovers are easily spent airside, where you will find themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and a variety of dining and shopping options.

If you prefer to rest, you can look for quiet zones, transit hotels, or spa facilities within the terminals, allowing you to freshen up between the ultra long-haul New York–Singapore sector and your onward flight to Hanoi. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

New York follows Eastern Time, which is typically UTC-5 (Eastern Standard Time, from around November to March) and UTC-4 (Eastern Daylight Time, from around March to November). Hanoi follows Indochina Time, which is UTC+7 year-round and does not observe daylight saving. This means Hanoi is usually 12 hours ahead of New York during Eastern Standard Time, and 11 hours ahead during Eastern Daylight Time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Noi Bai International Airport when flying from New York via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (New York–Singapore and Singapore–Hanoi) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Hanoi is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your New York–Hanoi trip, 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.
