Singapore Airlines operates one of the world's longest nonstop flights directly from JFK to Changi — approximately 18–19 hours. Connecting options via Tokyo, Seoul, or Hong Kong are often cheaper and offer a natural layover break. Changi Airport itself is rated the world's best airport and worth arriving early to explore.
Singapore is Asia at its most polished — a city-state of extraordinary efficiency, world-class food, lush green spaces, and a multicultural energy unlike anywhere else. Safe, English-speaking, and superbly connected, it serves both as a destination in its own right and a natural gateway to Southeast Asia.

Planning your trip? Here are the highlights most worth your time in Singapore.
Singapore's most iconic modern landmark — 101 hectares of waterfront gardens featuring the otherworldly Supertree Grove, the Flower Dome (the world's largest glass greenhouse), and the Cloud Forest. The free outdoor Supertree light show runs at 7:45pm and 8:45pm nightly.
The three-tower hotel with the famous ship-shaped sky terrace on top. Non-hotel guests can access the SkyPark Observation Deck for panoramic city views (~SGD 26). The infinity pool is hotel guests only, but the view from the deck is just as dramatic.
Singapore's beloved open-air food courts — some of the best and most affordable food in Asia. Maxwell Food Centre, Lau Pa Sat, and Old Airport Road Food Centre are legendary. Hainanese chicken rice, laksa, char kway teow, and satay are essential orders. Most dishes cost SGD 3–6.
Singapore's ethnic enclaves preserve distinct cultures within blocks of each other. Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple in Little India blazes with color. Chinatown offers the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and excellent heritage shophouses converted into restaurants and boutiques.
Singapore's resort island accessible by cable car, monorail, or a short walk. Universal Studios Singapore, S.E.A. Aquarium, Adventure Cove Waterpark, and beach clubs are the main draws. A full-day activity destination, especially with children.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Asia's finest botanical gardens. The National Orchid Garden within it holds over 1,000 species. Free entry to most of the grounds. A peaceful counterpoint to Singapore's urban intensity.
Local insider tip
The best bowl of laksa in Singapore is a subject of fierce local debate. Many point to 328 Katong Laksa on East Coast Road — the Peranakan-style, cut-noodle version is unique to Singapore and incomparable. Eat it for breakfast — that's how locals do it.
