Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Mumbai to Japan once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet.

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 flights from Mumbai to Japan connect through Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside to enjoy orchid and sunflower gardens, walking trails, art installations, and a wide selection of dining and shopping. For longer connections, you may consider exploring more terminals, visiting attractions such as indoor waterfalls or themed zones, or relaxing in a lounge or transit hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Mumbai follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Most cities in Japan, including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka, follow Japan Standard Time (UTC+9:00). Japan does not observe daylight saving time, so Japan is always 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of Mumbai throughout the year.

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.
