Flights from Singapore (SIN) to Japan

Yes, meals are served on all Singapore to Japan flights. In-flight dining features multi-course meals with Asian and international choices, tailored to the length and time of your flight. You can request special meals in advance for various dietary needs. On selected premium cabins and routes, Book the Cook lets you pre-select curated main courses before you fly. A full beverage service, including soft drinks, juices, teas, coffees, and a selection of wines and spirits, is available, along with our signature Singapore Sling on most flights.

Flights between Singapore and Japan use the weight-concept baggage allowance. In Economy Class, you can typically check in up to 25kg of baggage. Premium Economy Class offers up to 35kg, Business Class up to 40kg, and First Class up to 50kg of checked baggage. Cabin baggage allowances vary by cabin, with at least one standard carry-on plus a personal item, subject to size and weight limits. Exact allowances are shown on your ticket and may vary with your KrisFlyer status.

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

Across the Singapore to Japan network, you will find Economy Class and Business Class on all routes, with Premium Economy Class and First Class available on selected Tokyo services operated by the Boeing 777-300ER. Some flights may offer only Economy Class and Business Class, while others include a wider choice, so cabin availability depends on your chosen city and departure time.

In Economy Class, you can expect around a 32-inch seat pitch with up to a 19-inch seat width, depending on aircraft type. Premium Economy Class, available on selected Tokyo flights, offers about a 38-inch seat pitch and up to a 20-inch seat width. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on the Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 787-10, and Airbus A350-900. First Class on selected Boeing 777-300ER Tokyo services provides a spacious suite-style seat that converts into a fully flat bed. Seat layouts and exact dimensions can vary slightly between aircraft operating to Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Japan. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport.

For most journeys to Japan, your connection is at Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for easy, comfortable transits. With a shorter layover, you can enjoy indoor gardens, walking trails, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping without leaving the terminal. On longer layovers, you may be able to join a free transit tour of the city, relax in a lounge, or visit airport attractions such as viewing decks and themed zones. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Japan operates on Japan Standard Time (JST), which is UTC+9. Singapore is on Singapore Time (SGT), which is UTC+8. This means Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka are typically 1 hour ahead of Singapore throughout the year, as neither country observes daylight saving time.

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.
