It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and Economy and Premium Economy customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

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.

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 is designed to make layovers comfortable and memorable. For longer layovers, you can join an official transit tour into the city if your connection time meets the minimum requirement, which is typically around 5.5 to 6 hours. This gives you a chance to see highlights of Singapore before returning for your onward flight. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, entertainment zones, and a wide choice of dining options. Airport hotels and snooze areas offer additional comfort if you want to rest between flights. 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, switching to UTC-4 during daylight saving time from around March to early November. Bangkok operates on Indochina Time year-round, which is UTC+7 and does not observe daylight saving. This means Bangkok is usually 12 hours ahead of New York in winter and 11 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok 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–Bangkok) 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 Bangkok 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–Bangkok 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.
