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.

When departing from Male, eligible passengers may be able to use the Koveli Lounge at Velana International Airport (MLE), depending on their class of travel or frequent flyer status. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may have access to facilities such as The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, in line with their ticketed cabin and membership status.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can choose from gardens, walking trails, quiet rest areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers of about 5.5 hours or more, you may consider joining an official transit sightseeing tour, subject to eligibility and schedules. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the themed zones, indoor attractions, and relaxation spaces across the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it s an integral part of your journey.

For most Singapore Airlines itineraries from Male to Tokyo on a single ticket, we check your baggage through from Male to Tokyo, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore. You should confirm through-check details at check-in in Male, especially if any sectors are on separate tickets.

Male uses 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; when it is 12.00pm in Male, it is 16.00 in Tokyo.

From Male, Singapore Airlines connects you to Tokyo via Singapore, arriving at one of Tokyo s main international airports, typically either Narita International Airport or Haneda Airport, depending on the specific flight. Your arrival airport is shown clearly on your booking and e-ticket.

We recommend arriving at Velana International Airport in Male at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time for flights to Tokyo via Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security, and immigration, especially during busy travel periods or if you are checking in baggage.

Visa requirements for travel from Male to Tokyo depend on your nationality and length of stay. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the Japanese embassy or consulate and ensuring your passport and any required documents are in order before you travel.

On arrival in Tokyo, you will go through immigration, collect your checked baggage, and then pass customs. Both main airports offer clear English signage, airport staff support, and convenient onward transport options such as trains, buses, and taxis. Check locally for the latest transport and payment information.

Yes, it is possible to connect from your Singapore Airlines flight to domestic services within Japan. You should allow sufficient connection time to clear immigration, collect any checked baggage if needed, and check in with your onward carrier. Always review your itinerary and minimum connection times when planning.
