Most flights from Japan to Italy with Singapore Airlines connect through Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can consider joining one of the airport’s free transit tours into the city, subject to timing and eligibility, or spend time exploring the airport’s gardens, art installations, and themed zones. For shorter connections, you can stay airside, relax in quiet areas, enjoy showers, browse shops, or sample a wide range of dining options. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Japan operates on Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9) all year, with no daylight saving time. Italy uses Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) typically from late March to late October. This means Rome and Milan are usually 8 hours behind Japan during Italian winter (for example, when it is 20:00 in Japan, it is 12:00 in Italy) and 7 hours behind during Italian summer time. Always check the exact local times when your flight departs and arrives, especially around the days when daylight saving time starts or ends.

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