Most journeys from Perth to Japan connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for smooth and enjoyable transits. For shorter layovers, you can relax in quiet seating areas, visit indoor gardens, enjoy playgrounds or rest zones, and explore a wide range of shops and dining options. With more time, you might take a swim, book a spa treatment, or, on eligible itineraries, join a free transit tour of Singapore. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Perth usually operates on Australian Western Standard Time (UTC+8). Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka are generally on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9). Japan does not observe daylight saving time, but Perth’s local time can shift relative to some other Australian states during their daylight saving months, so always check the local time close to your departure date.

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.
