FASTER and cheaper rides to downtown Tokyo and easier domestic connections to all parts of Japan.
That is what travellers using Singapore Airlines’ new twice-daily services to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport can look forward to from Oct 31.
On that day, after leaving Singapore at 3.40pm, an SIA Boeing 777-300ER plane is due to land at Haneda at 11.05pm (10:05 pm S’pore time) – the first time in more than 30 years.
The other daily flight takes off from Changi at 9.50pm, landing at Haneda at 5.15am Japan time the next day.
