Most flights from Japan to Manila transit through Singapore Changi Airport, which is well known for its transit-friendly design. If you have a longer layover, you can join one of the free transit city tours, or explore attractions such as indoor gardens, art installations, and themed zones within the terminals. For shorter layovers, relax in quiet areas, freshen up with shower facilities, or enjoy the wide choice of dining and shopping. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Japan, including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka, observes Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) and does not use daylight saving time. Manila follows Philippine Time (UTC+8) year-round. This means Manila is 1 hour behind all major cities in Japan at any time of the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Manila 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 Manila, 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.
