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

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy gardens, rest areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options without leaving the terminal. For longer connections of around 5.5 hours or more, you may also consider an official transit tour into the city, subject to availability and entry requirements.

If you prefer to stay airside, terminals offer themed gardens, quiet zones, and in some areas cinemas or play spaces, giving you a chance to walk, relax, or freshen up between flights. Airport hotels and pay-per-use lounges are also available if you would like a private space to rest or shower.

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

Tokyo operates on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. New York uses Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) from roughly November to March, and Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4) from roughly March to November. This means New York is 14 hours behind Tokyo during Eastern Standard Time, and 13 hours behind during Eastern Daylight Time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to New York 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–New York) 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 New York 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–New York 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.
