Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Most flights from Tokyo to Malaysia connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers a wide range of ways to spend your time. For longer layovers, you can consider joining the free city transit tour, subject to eligibility and timing, to see highlights of Singapore. For shorter stops, stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, walking trails, play areas, and art installations, or relax in a lounge or transit hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Tokyo operates on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) year-round. Kuala Lumpur and Penang both use Malaysia Time (UTC+8) without daylight saving. This means Malaysia is typically 1 hour behind Tokyo at all times of the year.

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