Star Alliance member Singapore Airlines currently offers discounted tickets for its nonstop service between Singapore and New York, the world’s longest passenger flight currently operating. Tickets from New York are available for as little as US$959 (~€896), if you are accepting a rather long stay in Asia.
While this fare has no minimum stay, it requires your outbound to happen before May 15, 2024. Your inbound may depart between May 23 and June 30, 2024. This fare is only available for stays of at least three weeks in Singapore.
Singapore Airlines serves both Newark and JFK airport nonstop from Singapore. Technically, the flight from/to JFK is a bit longer.
Our calendar below will show you all available dates for trips of up to 90 days. The best way to book your flights is to select your dates and then input them into the search box on Singapore Airlines’ website. You can score the cheapest tickets on momondo or pay $100 more when going directly through the airline.
If you want to fly to Singapore for a shorter time, tickets are available for roughly US$1,450 (~€1,354). You can tacking on two economy flights within Asia for just a little more.
The flights are operated by an Airbus A350-900ULR (Ultra Long Range). It features a 2-4-2 seating in premium economy with a seat pitch of 95 cm. Thanks to the carbon frame of the aircraft, pressure and humidity inside the cabin are higher than on common planes, making the long flight less stressful to the body.
While the direct route leads over Siberian airspace, Singapore Airlines avoids flying over Russia.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Information & Tips for New York
It is THE dream destination in the USA. The 5 districts of New York City offer more than any other metropolis in the world. And due to the high number of flights to New York, it is usually the cheapest way to get to the USA.
The Best Time to Travel
The best travel time with moderate temperatures is from April to June and from September to November. Summers can bring heat waves with high humidity. Winters are often snowy and very cold.
From the airport to the city
New York City is served by three commercial airports: John F. Kennedy Intl. Airport in Queens (probably the most famous), Newark Intl. Airport in Newark, New Jersey (which is not located in NYC, but serves the metropolitan area just like the others) and LaGuardia Airport also in Queens (which is closest to the city).
John F. Kennedy Intl. Airport
Public transport: From Manhattan by subway or LIRR to Jamaica (price varies from $2.75 – $10.00), continue with AirTrain to JFK ($8). Travel time 45 – 60 minutes.
Taxi: To Manhattan $62.50 (+ $5.50 toll), 45 – 90 minutes depending on traffic.
Newark Intl. Airport
Public transport: Almost $20 with a combination of AirTrain Newark and NJ Transit to Penn Station. Almost 45 minutes drive.
Taxi: To Manhattan $50 – $70 (+ $8 toll), journey time 35 – 60 minutes depending on traffic.
LaGuardia Airport
Public transport: LaGuardia is only served by buses, these are slow and don’t have much space to store luggage, but with $2,75 they are very cheap.
Taxi: To Manhattan $20 – $30, journey time 15 – 30 minutes depending on traffic.

Information & Tips for USA
The USA offers many sights, natural wonders and cultural significance. Thanks to numerous airlines offering flights across the Atlantic, it is always pretty inexpensive to get there. Alternatively, you can also cross the Atlantic by boat.
Immigration, ESTA & Visa Requirements
The USA has one of the strictest entry regulations in the world. Most EU citizens, among others, are lucky to be able to participate in the so-called Visa Waiver Program. If you get an electronic entry permit (ESTA) for approximately €20, you don’t need a visa for entry.
The Best Time to Visit
Due to its sheer size, the perfect time to visit the USA varies greatly from region to region. In winter, Florida is very popular due to the mild temperatures. In the summer the West and East Coasts are flooded by tourists which drives up the prices for hotels and flights and during the Indian Summer in late autumn New England is a very popular destination. The hurricane season between July and September can be dangerous in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Florida and the southern states are regularly struck by these tropical storms. Blizzards occur from the East Coast to the Midwest during the winter months and regularly put air traffic and public life on hold.
Currency
The US dollar is widely used throughout the world and accepted as a currency in most tourist hotspots worldwide. That being said, carrying cash isn’t necessary in the US, all you need is a credit card! These are very common in the USA and are accepted pretty much everywhere without any issues. If you already have a credit card in your wallet, you should make sure that it does not charge a foreign currency fee if possible. Carrying a few dollars in cash doesn’t hurt though. You might need cash e.g. for the bus ticket if you want to buy it directly from the driver. Most of the time you even have to give exact change.

Any Chance for a ow ex NJ?
Hi Fab! Oneways ex-NJ are currently at $558 https://www.google.com/travel/flights/search?tfs=CBwQAhomEgoyMDI0LTA1LTA3KABqDQgDEgkvbS8wMl8yODZyBwgBEgNTSU5AAUgCcAGCAQsI____________AZgBAg&tfu=EgIIASIA&hl=en-US&curr=USD
I don’t thing they are even close to Siberian airspace. Route is always flying eastbound du winds.
Hi Mine! Both flights are usually operated eastbound for the reason you quoted. That means NYC-SIN could cross Siberian airspace, but doesn’t.
