3.3. Prefer Morning Flights From Singapore If You Want A Stable Stay In Tokyo

Booking a morning flight from Singapore allows you to arrive in Tokyo by early afternoon or evening, just in time for hotel check-in, a bit of rest, and a fresh start the next day. However, red-eye or evening flights often land late at night, which can disrupt your plans. If you want to make the most of your first day, an early departure is a smart choice.
