Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of facilities, including themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and numerous dining and shopping options, making it comfortable to stay airside during your layover.

For a single Singapore Airlines itinerary from Shanghai to Tokyo via Singapore, we generally check your checked baggage through to your final destination. You can confirm this at check-in in Shanghai, and your baggage tag and e-ticket will show whether your bags are checked through to Tokyo.

Shanghai follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. Tokyo follows Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) and also does not observe daylight saving time. Tokyo is therefore 1 hour ahead of Shanghai throughout the year.

You will need a valid passport and any required visas or entry permits for Japan, as well as any transit documents required for Singapore. Requirements vary by nationality, so we recommend checking with the relevant embassies or official government websites before you travel.

For flights from Shanghai to Tokyo via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Shanghai Pudong International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows time for check-in, security, immigration, and getting to your departure gate comfortably.

From Tokyos airports, you can choose between dedicated airport trains, local rail services, airport buses, and taxis. Travel times and connections vary by airport and time of day, so it is best to check current options and schedules before you arrive or at the airport information counters.

We strongly recommend arranging travel insurance that covers medical care, trip changes, and personal belongings for your journey between Shanghai and Tokyo. Coverage options differ by provider, so review the terms carefully to ensure they meet your needs.
