Cathay also flies direct, JFK-HKG, though it may be a more expensive flight. I've also flown JAL into both SIN and DPS. Connection point is Tokyo (NRT). There are direct flights from JFK as well as connections through LAX and SFO. Finally, it's been a while since I flew them, but Singapore Air used to have fairly decent fares and, occasionally, great specials. If you are a frequent flyer accruing and using miles in a domestic airlines program, you might want to consider flying an airline within the same alliance so that you can accrue miles. Or, if you've got a lot of miles, getting to Singapore using them is not that hard.
On the luggage issue, flying through Singapore, I've always managed to send my baggage onward on Silk without any extra fees no matter on what airline I travelled there.
