Flights from Tokyo (TYO)

From Tokyo, Singapore Airlines operates direct flights to Singapore, our global hub. From Singapore, you can continue on the same booking to a wide range of destinations. Across Southeast Asia, you can connect to cities such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Denpasar Bali, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, Manila, Cebu, Penang, Surabaya, and Bandar Seri Begawan. In the Southwest Pacific, you can fly to Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Auckland, and Christchurch. West Asia and Africa connections include Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Dhaka, Colombo, Kathmandu, Male, Dubai, Riyadh, and Cape Town. You can also reach Hong Kong in North Asia, Seattle in the United States, and major European cities such as Manchester, Frankfurt, Rome, Istanbul, Barcelona, and Brussels. Many more cities are available beyond these examples via convenient connections at Singapore Changi Airport.

From Tokyo, long-haul journeys with Singapore Airlines typically involve a connection in Singapore and range from around 13 to over 20 hours of total travel time, depending on the route. In the Southwest Pacific, long-haul flights include Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Auckland, and Christchurch, usually taking between about 13 and 17 hours in total. In Europe, Manchester, Frankfurt, Rome, Istanbul, Barcelona, and Brussels are all long-haul options, generally in the 18 to 21 hour range. In West Asia and Africa, longer journeys include Riyadh, Dubai, Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Dhaka, Colombo, Kathmandu, Male, and Cape Town, with total times typically from around 11 to over 20 hours.

If you are planning a shorter break from Tokyo, you have several appealing options via Singapore. Singapore itself is ideal almost year-round, with a warm climate, efficient public transport, and an easy mix of gardens, waterfront areas, and shopping districts. Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia is another good choice, especially during the relatively drier months, for a combination of city skyline views, cafés, and nearby highland retreats. Bangkok in Thailand works well in the cooler, less humid season for markets, riverside walks, and rooftop views. Penang in Malaysia is best enjoyed in the drier periods, with its heritage streets, street art, and coastal scenery. Denpasar Bali in Indonesia is attractive during the dry season for beaches, rice terraces, and relaxed cafes, making it a popular option for a slightly longer short escape.

On flights from Tokyo, Singapore Airlines offers Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, Business Class, and First Class, depending on the route and aircraft. Economy Class provides comfortable seating, in-flight entertainment, and meals on all international services. Premium Economy Class gives you a wider seat, greater recline, and enhanced legroom, along with an upgraded dining and amenity experience on selected Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 787-10, and Airbus A350-900 services.

First Class is available on selected Boeing 777-300ER services, offering even greater privacy, an enhanced dining experience, and attentive service throughout the flight.

In some cases, day passes for partner lounges may be available for purchase at the airport, subject to capacity and lounge policy.

If you prefer to stay airside or have a shorter connection, Changi Airport offers themed gardens, quiet rest areas, play zones, and a wide selection of shops and dining. Eligible customers can also relax in the SilverKris Lounge or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge before connecting onward. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers can access the SilverKris Lounge or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. Lounge access depends on your cabin class and frequent flyer status.
