Exact entitlements depend on your booked cabin and KrisFlyer status, and are shown during booking and on your e-ticket.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Japan. 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.

Most journeys from Adelaide to Japan connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers lush indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, extensive shopping, and a wide range of dining options within the terminals. If your layover is long enough, you can also explore additional amenities such as swimming pools or paid lounges and relaxation spaces without leaving the airport. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Japan operates on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) and does not observe daylight saving time. Adelaide follows Australian Central Standard Time (UTC+9:30) and Australian Central Daylight Time (UTC+10:30). This means Japan is usually 30 minutes behind Adelaide in winter, and 1.5 hours behind during Adelaide's daylight saving months (typically October to early April). This applies to Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka.

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