Flights between Japan and the United States of America generally use the piece concept for checked baggage. In Economy Class, you can usually bring at least one piece of checked baggage, while Premium Economy Class, Business Class, and First Class offer higher checked baggage allowances with more pieces or weight per piece. All cabin classes include a cabin baggage allowance sized to fit in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you. Exact entitlements depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your booking confirmation for full details.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Tokyo to the United States of America once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, including those travelling in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, provided your membership number is added to the 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 web browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across all routes from Tokyo to the United States of America, you will find First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. The direct Tokyo to Los Angeles service offers all four cabin classes. On many one-stop services via Singapore, the Tokyo to Singapore sector may offer Business Class and Economy Class only, while the onward Singapore to United States of America sector typically offers Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class, so cabin options can differ by city and sector.

In Economy Class, you can expect around 32-inch seat pitch with up to 19-inch seat width on most aircraft. Premium Economy Class, available on selected sectors, provides about 38-inch seat pitch with up to 20-inch seat width. Business Class offers a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on long-haul aircraft. First Class on Boeing 777-300ER routes features a spacious seat that converts into a fully flat bed. Cabin configurations can vary slightly between aircraft on different routes to cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, and New York.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to the United States of America. 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.

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

Most flights from Tokyo to the United States of America connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For a shorter layover, you can stay airside and enjoy landscaped gardens, quiet rest areas, play zones, art installations, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. On longer daytime layovers, you may join the airport's free transit tour when available, or simply relax in a lounge or transit hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle follow Pacific Time, which is typically 17 hours behind Tokyo during their standard time (November to March) and 16 hours behind during daylight saving time (March to November). New York follows Eastern Time, usually 14 hours behind Tokyo during standard time and 13 hours behind during daylight saving time. Daylight saving time in most of the United States of America generally runs from March to November, while Japan does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference shifts seasonally.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in the United States of America 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 the United States of America, 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.
