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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy a range of facilities, including themed gardens, art installations, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. If you have a longer connection, you may join an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the terminals, relaxing in quiet zones, or enjoying airport attractions. 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 passengers may be invited to use facilities such as The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge entitlements are based on your departing flight from Singapore and will be confirmed at check-in.

When you travel from Tokyo to Colombo on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary via Singapore, our team will usually check your baggage through to Colombo. You can confirm this at check-in in Tokyo, where our staff will tag your checked baggage to your final destination and advise if you need to collect it at any point.

Tokyo operates on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) all year. Colombo uses Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30) without daylight saving. This means Colombo is 3.5 hours behind Tokyo throughout the year, so when it is 12.00 noon in Tokyo, it is 8.30am in Colombo.

Singapore Airlines operates flights to Singapore from both Tokyo Narita and Tokyo Haneda, with onward connections to Colombo from Singapore. Your departure airport will be shown on your booking confirmation and e-ticket, so you can plan your journey to the airport accordingly.

We recommend arriving at Tokyo Narita or Tokyo Haneda at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This gives you enough time for check-in, security checks, and, if eligible, a relaxed visit to the lounge before boarding your flight.

Visa and entry requirements for Sri Lanka depend on your nationality and travel history, not your departure city. We recommend checking the latest information with the relevant authorities or your local consulate, and ensuring that your passport and travel documents meet current requirements before you fly.

Bandaranaike International Airport near Colombo offers immigration counters, baggage claim areas, currency exchange services, information desks, and ground transport options. After collecting your baggage and clearing formalities, you can find counters for transport and assistance to help you reach your accommodation.
