On flights from Surabaya to Japan, Singapore Airlines generally uses the weight-concept allowance, as the journey is between Indonesia and Japan.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Surabaya to Japan once the aircraft is 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. Non-members and additional devices can use paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Most journeys from Surabaya to Japan connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed to be easy and relaxing for transit passengers. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping close to your gate. With a longer connection, you might explore more of the terminals, visit play zones or attractions, or book access to a pay-per-use lounge or transit hotel for extra rest. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Surabaya usually shares the same time as Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7), while most of Japan, including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka, is on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9). This means Japan is typically 2 hours ahead of Surabaya. Japan does not observe daylight saving time, so the difference remains stable throughout the year.

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