Most journeys from the United States of America to Yangon connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers gardens, walking areas, rest zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping directly in the terminals. For shorter layovers, stay airside, stretch your legs, and enjoy facilities such as quiet areas or, time permitting, a quick swim or shower in selected terminal facilities. With a longer connection, you can consider joining an airport-organised transit tour into the city if available during your layover window. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Yangon operates on Myanmar Standard Time (UTC+6:30) and does not observe daylight saving time. Seattle and San Francisco use Pacific Time (UTC−8, UTC−7 in daylight saving from roughly March to early November), making Yangon 14.5 hours ahead in standard time and 13.5 hours ahead in daylight saving. Los Angeles also follows Pacific Time, so the same offset applies. New York uses Eastern Time (UTC−5, UTC−4 in daylight saving during similar months), so Yangon is 11.5 hours ahead in standard time and 10.5 hours ahead when daylight saving is in effect.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Yangon 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 Yangon, 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.
