Flights between Germany (DE) and Japan (JP) generally use the weight concept for checked baggage. For these routes, the allowance depends on your cabin class. In Economy Class, the typical checked baggage allowance is 25 kg. In Premium Economy Class, it is usually 35 kg. In Business Class, the allowance is usually 40 kg. In First Class and Suites, the allowance is generally 50 kg. All customers may also bring cabin baggage within specified size and weight limits, which differ by cabin class. Exact allowances can vary by fare type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket or our baggage information page before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft once the flight reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your KrisFlyer membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional users can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it is not designed for video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across all routes from Germany to Japan via Singapore, you can choose from Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, Business Class, First Class, and Suites. Not every cabin is offered on every flight: some city pairs and aircraft types feature Suites and First Class, while others may offer Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class only. When you book, the available cabin classes for your chosen flights are clearly shown so you can select the option that best matches your needs.

Legroom and seat space vary by cabin. In Economy Class, you can expect around 32 inches of seat pitch, with up to 19 inches of seat width depending on aircraft type. In Premium Economy Class, pitch increases to about 38 inches, with up to 20 inches of seat width and enhanced recline. In Business Class, your seat converts into a fully flat bed and provides direct aisle access on our long-haul aircraft. In First Class and Suites, you enjoy a fully flat bed with even more personal space and privacy. Specific configurations can differ slightly between aircraft types on the Germany to Japan routes.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from Germany to Japan.

Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Most journeys from Germany to Japan connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited for both short and longer layovers. For quick connections, you can stay airside and enjoy lush indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, shower facilities, and a wide choice of dining options. For longer layovers, consider exploring additional amenities such as airport lounges, entertainment zones, or the rooftop pool, or join one of the free transit tours offered to see highlights of Singapore if your timing and eligibility allow. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Germany operates on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and observes daylight saving time, switching to Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. Japan uses Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means that Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka are typically 8 hours ahead of Germany during the winter months, and 7 hours ahead during the German summer time period.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Japan when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Japan, 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.
