Most journeys from the United States of America to Sydney connect through Singapore Changi Airport, where you can enjoy gardens, quiet rest areas, art installations, and a wide range of dining and shopping options. For longer layovers, you may consider a guided tour of the city or exploring attractions within the airport complex. For shorter connections, staying airside allows time to refresh, dine, or simply relax before your onward flight. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait, it is an integral part of your journey.

This means that, depending on the time of year and daylight saving changes in both countries, Sydney is typically 17 to 19 hours ahead of Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and around 15 to 17 hours ahead of New York.
