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.

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.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport.

Most flights from Phuket to Japan connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for comfortable and engaging layovers. For shorter connections, you can enjoy indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping options without leaving the transit area. With a longer layover, you may explore more of the terminals, visit leisure zones, or, if time allows and formalities permit, join one of the airport's city experiences. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Phuket follows Thailand time (UTC+7). Japan, including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka, follows Japan Standard Time (UTC+9). This means Japan is 2 hours ahead of Phuket throughout the year, as Japan does not observe daylight saving time.

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.
