Flights from United States Of America to Europe

On flights from the United States of America to Europe, you can expect full meal services tailored to the length of each sector of your journey. Menus feature a mix of regional and international dishes, with thoughtfully planned courses and light bites available between main services on longer flights.
We offer a range of special meals that cater to different dietary needs, which you can request in advance of your flight. On eligible sectors and in selected cabins, you can also use our Book the Cook service to pre-order from an expanded menu of main courses.
Throughout the journey, a beverage service is available, including juices, soft drinks, hot drinks, and a curated selection of wines and spirits. You can also enjoy a freshly prepared Singapore Sling on board, giving your long-haul experience a distinctive Singapore Airlines touch.

For journeys originating in the United States of America and travelling to Europe, we use the piece-concept baggage allowance on Singapore Airlines-operated flights. In Economy Class, you are generally allowed at least one piece of checked baggage within a set weight limit per piece. In Premium Economy Class, your allowance is higher than in Economy Class. In Business Class, and on routes offering First Class, you can enjoy an even more generous checked baggage allowance.
For all cabins, you may also bring cabin baggage on board, with limits on the number of pieces, size, and weight depending on your class of travel. Exact allowances can vary by fare type and route, so please check your e-ticket or our website before departure.
If your journey includes partner airlines, their baggage rules may apply to parts of the trip. In all cases, we recommend confirming your included checked baggage and cabin baggage allowances at the time of booking and again before you fly.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft used between the United States of America, Singapore, and onward to Europe, and can be used once the aircraft reaches cruising altitude above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.
If you are not a KrisFlyer member, or prefer not to use a membership-linked plan, you can purchase paid Wi-Fi packages on board, subject to availability on your specific flight. Connection quality can vary depending on route and network conditions.
The service is ideal for messaging, email, and general web browsing, but it is not designed for high-bandwidth activities such as video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers. We recommend downloading movies, series, or heavy files before you travel.

Across routes from the United States of America to Europe via Singapore, we offer a choice of cabins depending on the aircraft and specific city pair. Economy Class is available on all routes, offering comfortable seating, inflight entertainment, and inclusive meals. Premium Economy Class is also offered across these connections, giving you extra space, a wider seat, and enhanced service.
Business Class is available on all city pairs, with generous personal space, priority ground services, and a seat that converts into a fully flat bed on long-haul aircraft. On selected services operating with the Boeing 777-300ER between Singapore and cities such as London, Frankfurt, Zurich, and Paris, you can also book First Class, which provides an even more private and spacious environment with elevated dining and amenities.
Cabin configurations can differ slightly between the Airbus A350-900 and the Boeing 777-300ER. When you book, you will see which cabins are offered on your chosen flights so you can select the option that best matches your needs.

In Economy Class on flights between the United States of America and Europe via Singapore, you can expect a seat pitch of around 32 inches, with seat widths of up to 19 inches depending on the aircraft type. This provides a comfortable amount of legroom for long-haul travel, along with adjustable headrests and seat-back entertainment.
In Premium Economy Class, the pitch increases to about 38 inches with seat widths of up to 20 inches, giving you noticeably more legroom and personal space. Seats typically also feature greater recline and leg or foot support, making it easier to rest on longer sectors.
In Business Class, your seat converts into a fully flat bed, with each seat offering direct aisle access on the long-haul aircraft used on these routes. On flights operated with the Boeing 777-300ER that feature First Class, you can enjoy an even larger fully flat bed and more generous personal space. Cabin layouts and exact dimensions can vary between the Airbus A350-900 and the Boeing 777-300ER, so configurations may differ by city pair.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from United States of America to Europe.

Most journeys from the United States of America to Europe connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for comfortable and engaging layovers. For shorter connections, you can stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, art installations, and a wide range of dining and shopping options spread across the terminals.
If you have a longer layover, you may wish to join one of the transit tours of Singapore that are offered for eligible passengers, allowing you to see highlights of the city before returning to the airport for your onward flight. Alternatively, airport hotels and snooze areas provide spaces to rest and refresh between sectors.
Whichever option you choose, you can take advantage of shower facilities, relaxation zones, and fast Wi-Fi to reset before continuing to Europe. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

The United States of America spans several time zones, while the European countries served on these routes mainly use Central European Time (CET) or Western European Time (WET), along with daylight saving adjustments. Cities such as Frankfurt, Munich, Rome, Milan, Zurich, Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen, Barcelona, and Amsterdam generally observe CET (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. London and Manchester in the United Kingdom, and Istanbul in Turkey, follow their own local time rules but also adjust clocks seasonally.
When comparing to the US West Coast (for example Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle), Central European cities are typically 9 hours ahead during the US Standard Time months and about 8 hours ahead during overlapping daylight saving periods, though there can be brief weeks of difference when clocks change on different dates. The United Kingdom usually sits 8 hours ahead of the US West Coast in winter and 7 hours ahead in summer.
From the US East Coast (for example New York), Central European cities are often 6 hours ahead in winter and 5 hours ahead in summer. The United Kingdom is usually 5 hours ahead of the US East Coast in winter and 4 hours ahead in summer. Because clock-change dates and local rules can shift, it is always best to check a reliable world clock close to your departure date.

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