In-flight Dining
On the Colombo–Singapore and Singapore–Tokyo sectors, you will be served meals designed to suit the time of day and flight length, with a choice of main courses in every cabin.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on request, which you can pre-order through our Manage Booking page before your trip. These are prepared to meet specific dietary needs and are served before or together with the main meal service.

Book the Cook
On eligible cabins and sectors, you may pre-select from an expanded menu through our Book the Cook service before departure, giving you more choice over what you enjoy on board.

Beverage Service
Throughout your journey, a selection of hot and cold drinks is available, including juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and alcoholic beverages. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board.

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.

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 example, if you fly Economy from Colombo but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible travellers may be invited to The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities that make both short and long layovers comfortable. With a longer connection of around 5.5 hours or more, you can consider joining the airport's official free city tour programme, which lets you see highlights of Singapore before returning for your onward flight. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, rest zones, play areas, and swimming and cinema facilities depending on your terminal. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Colombo follows Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30) and does not observe daylight saving time. Tokyo uses Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) year-round, also without daylight saving time. Tokyo is 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of Colombo throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tokyo when flying from Colombo via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Colombo–Singapore and Singapore–Tokyo) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Tokyo is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Colombo–Tokyo trip, 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.
