Flights from Tokyo (TYO) to Sydney (SYD)

In-flight Dining
On Tokyo–Singapore–Sydney flights, you will be served meals appropriate to the time of day on each sector, with menus designed to offer a balance of familiar and regional flavours in every cabin.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on this route, which you can request in advance to suit medical, vegetarian, or other specific dietary requirements, subject to availability and route conditions.

Book the Cook
On eligible sectors and cabins, you can pre-select main courses from our Book the Cook service, giving you more choice and the assurance that a preferred dish will be prepared for your flight.

Beverage Service
Throughout the journey, a selection of hot and cold drinks is available, including juices, soft drinks, and freshly brewed coffee and tea. Our signature Singapore Sling is also offered on board.

For Tokyo–Sydney flights, our routes use the weight concept. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class 25kg on Lite/Value fares and 30kg on Standard/Flexi fares, Premium Economy Class 35kg, Business Class 40kg, and First Class 50kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are: Economy Class and Premium Economy Class may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while First Class and Business Class may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your exact allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Tokyo to Sydney once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, although Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members, and the service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On this route, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, while Premium Economy Class (available on the Boeing 777-300ER sectors) offers a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width. Business Class on all aircraft features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access. First Class, available on Boeing 777-300ER services between Tokyo or Singapore and Sydney, provides a spacious fully flat bed with enhanced personal space.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be able to use lounges such as The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and tier.

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 Tokyo but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable transits, and shorter layovers can be spent enjoying themed gardens, quiet rest areas, or family zones in the terminals. If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you may consider joining one of the official free transit tours into the city, subject to their operating hours and requirements.

For those who prefer to stay airside, you can explore walking paths, viewing decks, and a wide range of dining options, or book a room at an airport hotel for a rest. Spa services and shower facilities are also available in selected areas.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Tokyo follows Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) all year. Sydney operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) roughly from April to early October, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) from early October to early April. This means Sydney is usually 1 hour ahead of Tokyo in winter, and 2 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Sydney Airport when flying from Tokyo 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 (Tokyo–Singapore and Singapore–Sydney) 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 Sydney 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 Tokyo–Sydney 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.
