Most connections from Tokyo to the United States of America route via Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for transit stays of many lengths. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, play zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping right inside the terminal. With a longer layover, you may join a free airport transit tour into the city if your timing and eligibility allow. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Tokyo is usually 17 hours ahead of Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York when Japan does not observe daylight saving time and the United States does. When the United States is on standard time, the difference is typically 17 hours to New York and 17 or 16 hours to West Coast cities, depending on the date. Always check the specific time difference close to your travel dates, as the United States observes daylight saving time from roughly March to early November.

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