Most flights from Japan to France with Singapore Airlines transit through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers a wide range of ways to spend your time.

For shorter layovers, staying airside gives you access to indoor gardens, rest areas, swimming pools, walkways, and family-friendly zones, as well as dining and shopping options. Quiet corners, lounges, and transit hotels also make it easy to rest and refresh between flights. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in France 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 France, 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.

Japan operates on Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9) throughout the year and does not observe daylight saving time. France uses Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means that when it is 12:00 in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, or Fukuoka, it is typically 04:00 in Paris in winter and 05:00 in Paris in summer. The time difference is usually 8 hours during France s winter months and 7 hours when daylight saving time is in effect.
