Flights from Europe to Tokyo (TYO)

You enjoy complimentary meals on all Singapore Airlines flights from Europe to Tokyo, including both the Europe–Singapore and Singapore–Tokyo sectors. Menus highlight a mix of international favourites and Asian-inspired dishes, served at set times, with light bites available on longer sectors. You can request special meals in advance to suit health or lifestyle needs. On selected cabins and routes, you may also be able to use our Book the Cook service, pre-ordering a main course designed by our chefs from an extended menu. Throughout the flight, a full beverage service is available, including hot and cold drinks, juices, and a selection of wines and spirits. You can also enjoy our signature Singapore Sling on board.

On routes between Europe and Japan, Singapore Airlines usually applies the weight-concept baggage allowance across all cabins, in line with flights between Europe and Asia. Your checked baggage allowance depends on your cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, with higher limits for Premium Economy Class, Business Class, First Class, and Suites compared with Economy Class. In addition to checked baggage, all passengers may bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits appropriate to their cabin, typically one main bag plus a personal item in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, and a higher allowance in Business Class, First Class, and Suites. For the exact baggage allowance shown on your ticket, please refer to your booking confirmation or the Manage Booking section before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Europe to Tokyo once the aircraft has climbed above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, simply ensure your KrisFlyer membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. If you are not a KrisFlyer member or prefer not to sign in, you can purchase a Wi-Fi plan on board. The connection is well suited to messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across the network of flights from Europe to Tokyo via Singapore, you can choose from several cabin classes depending on your departure city and specific flight. Economy Class is available on all routes, offering comfortable seating and thoughtful service. Premium Economy Class is offered on Airbus A350-900, Airbus A380-800, and Boeing 777-300ER services on this route, giving you more space and enhanced amenities. Business Class is available from all European departure points, with lie-flat seats on long-haul aircraft. On selected Boeing 777-300ER services, you can travel in First Class, and on selected Airbus A380-800 services from cities such as London and Frankfurt, Suites are also available. Cabin availability may differ by country and departure time, so you can review the options for your preferred flight during booking.

Legroom and seat space vary by cabin class, but all are designed for comfort on long journeys between Europe, Singapore, and Tokyo. In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of around 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, giving you space to relax with adjustable features and personal entertainment. Premium Economy Class offers a more generous pitch of about 38 inches and up to 20 inches of seat width, plus a wider recline and leg support on applicable aircraft. In Business Class on these long-haul aircraft, seats convert into fully flat beds, and every passenger enjoys direct aisle access. First Class and Suites provide fully flat beds with even more room to stretch out, alongside added privacy and storage. Exact layouts can vary slightly between aircraft types such as the Airbus A350-900, Airbus A380-800, and Boeing 777-300ER, and between different European departure points.

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

Most flights from Europe to Tokyo with Singapore Airlines connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed to make transit time comfortable and engaging. If you have a longer layover, you can consider joining one of the airport's transit experiences or exploring the themed gardens, walking trails, and indoor attractions spread across the terminals. For shorter layovers, staying airside lets you enjoy quiet zones, shower facilities, and a wide variety of dining options, while eligible passengers can relax in our lounges. Whether you choose to rest, dine, or explore, your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Tokyo operates on Japan Standard Time, which is UTC+9 and does not observe daylight saving time. Many European countries served on this route, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, and most of the United Kingdom, use Central European Time (UTC+1) or Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) in winter, and switch to Central European Summer Time or British Summer Time (UTC+2 or UTC+1) from roughly late March to late October. This means that the time difference between these parts of Europe and Tokyo is usually 8 or 9 hours, depending on the season. Turkey, including Istanbul, generally follows Turkey Time (UTC+3) year-round, so the time difference between Istanbul and Tokyo is typically 6 hours.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tokyo 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 Tokyo, 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.
