Most journeys from Xiamen to Japan connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive facilities for different layover lengths. For shorter connections, you can explore themed gardens, visit quiet rest areas, or enjoy a meal in one of the many dining outlets close to your gate.
If you have a longer layover, you can take advantage of airport amenities such as swimming pools, entertainment zones, and spacious shower facilities in selected areas and lounges. Retail options range from designer boutiques to everyday essentials.

Xiamen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka all follow Japan Standard Time (UTC+9). Japan does not observe daylight saving time, so it is typically one hour ahead of Xiamen throughout the year.

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.
