Most journeys from the United States of America to Vietnam connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is compact, well signed, and close to the city. For longer layovers, you can consider joining one of the airports free city tours, or head landside to explore a few highlights of Singapore. For shorter connections, staying airside gives you access to gardens, art installations, rest areas, showers, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Vietnam uses a single time zone, Indochina Time (UTC+7), with no daylight saving. On the west coast of the United States of America (for example, Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco), Pacific Time is typically 14 hours behind Vietnam during Northern Hemisphere winter and 14 hours or 15 hours behind depending on the time of year, shifting when daylight saving time starts in March and ends in November. On the east coast (for example, New York), Eastern Time is usually 11 or 12 hours behind Vietnam, with the difference changing when the United States of America moves into or out of daylight saving time.

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