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

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

Most flights from New York to Italy connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour into the city, subject to timing and eligibility, or explore the airport's indoor gardens, art installations, and relaxation areas. Shorter connections are easily filled with a walk between terminals, a meal at one of many dining outlets, or a quick freshen-up at a pay-per-use lounge or airport hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Rome and Milan both use Central European Time. They are typically 6 hours ahead of New York when New York is on Eastern Standard Time (late autumn to early spring), and 5 hours ahead when New York is on Eastern Daylight Time (from around March to early November), due to different daylight saving dates.

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