Flights from Male (MLE) to Tokyo (TYO)

In-flight Dining
On Male–Singapore–Tokyo flights, you will be served meals tailored to the time of day and flight duration in all cabin classes, with menus that highlight a variety of regional and international flavours.

Special Meals
We offer a wide selection of special meals that can be requested in advance to suit different dietary needs and preferences. These should be ordered before your flight through our Manage Booking page or via your travel agent.

Book the Cook
On eligible sectors and in selected cabin classes, you can choose from an expanded menu using our Book the Cook service, pre-ordering your main course so it is prepared especially for you on board.

Beverage Service
A curated range of hot and cold drinks is available throughout your journey, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. You can also enjoy our signature Singapore Sling on board, alongside a selection of other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

For flights between Male and Tokyo, our weight-concept baggage policy applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares. Premium Economy Class offers 35kg, Business Class 40kg, and First Class 50kg of checked baggage. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers may bring one piece up to 7kg, while Business Class and First Class customers may bring two pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on our Male–Singapore–Tokyo services once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The connection is suited to messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 777-300ER, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch, with up to 19-inch seat width for a comfortable journey. Premium Economy Class, available on selected Male–Singapore flights and on the Singapore–Tokyo sector, provides a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width. Business Class on both aircraft features a fully flat bed with every seat offering direct aisle access. First Class, available on the Boeing 777-300ER between Singapore and Tokyo, offers a spacious fully flat bed and enhanced personal space.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Male but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible customers can relax in facilities such as The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers many ways to make your layover more enjoyable. If you have at least 5.5 hours between flights, you can consider joining an official transit tour of the city, subject to the current operating schedule and entry requirements. For shorter layovers, stay airside to explore the airport’s indoor gardens, rest areas, and family-friendly spaces, or take time to enjoy the wide choice of dining and shopping close to your departure gate. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Male operates on Maldives Time (UTC+5) and does not observe daylight saving time. Tokyo uses Japan Standard Time (UTC+9), also without daylight saving. This means Tokyo is 4 hours ahead of Male throughout the year, so when it is 12.00pm in Male, it is 4.00pm in Tokyo.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tokyo when flying from Male via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Male–Singapore and Singapore–Tokyo) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Tokyo is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Male–Tokyo trip, 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.
