Flights from Europe to Manila (MNL)

Yes, meals are served on all Singapore Airlines flights from Europe to Manila. You can expect generous full-service dining on the long-haul sector from your European city to Singapore, followed by another meal service on the Singapore to Manila flight, tailored to the time of day.
We offer a range of inflight dining options, including regional favourites and international classics, along with special meals that can be requested in advance to meet specific dietary needs. On selected cabins and routes, you may also be able to use our Book the Cook service to pre-select a main course.
Throughout your journey, hot and cold beverages are available, including juices, soft drinks, teas, coffees, and a curated selection of wines and spirits. Our signature Singapore Sling is also offered on many routes, so you can enjoy a classic taste of Singapore on your way to Manila.

On routes between Europe and the Philippines, Singapore Airlines generally applies the weight-concept baggage policy, with allowances varying by cabin class and your KrisFlyer status. Across flights to Manila, the cabin classes offered are Suites, First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class.
In Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, your checked baggage allowance is set to comfortably cover typical holiday or business trip needs, while still encouraging you to pack thoughtfully. Business Class, First Class, and Suites customers enjoy higher checked baggage allowances suitable for longer stays or multi-stop trips.
All customers may bring cabin baggage within specified size and weight limits, with different allowances depending on cabin class. For the exact baggage allowance for your ticket type and route, please refer to your booking confirmation or the baggage section on our website before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Europe to Manila once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. Connectivity lets you stay in touch during your journey without needing to wait until you land.
KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi in all cabin classes; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, simply ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and accompanying travellers can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board.
The connection is well suited for messaging, email, and general web browsing across both the Europe to Singapore and Singapore to Manila sectors. For best performance, activities such as video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers are not supported.

Across flights from Europe to Manila, you can choose from Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, Business Class, First Class, and Suites, depending on your departure city and the aircraft scheduled on each sector. All routes include a connection in Singapore.
On many Airbus A350-900 services, you will find Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, and Business Class cabins. Boeing 777-300ER flights typically offer Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, Business Class, and First Class. Airbus A380-800 services provide Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, Business Class, and the exclusive Suites cabin on the Europe to Singapore sector.
Cabin configurations may differ between countries and even between flights on the same route, so it is best to check the aircraft and cabin layout shown during booking if you have a specific seating preference.

In Economy Class on flights from Europe to Manila, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches and seat widths of up to 19 inches, designed to give you comfortable legroom and space to relax. Thoughtful seat contouring and adjustable headrests help support you on longer sectors.
In Premium Economy Class, seats typically offer around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width, providing extra legroom, deeper recline, and more personal space. These features are especially helpful on the longer Europe to Singapore sector.
In Business Class, seats convert into fully flat beds, with every seat offering direct aisle access for ease of movement throughout the flight. First Class and Suites also feature fully flat beds and even more generous personal space, giving you room to rest, work, or dine in privacy. Exact configurations can vary slightly by aircraft type and route.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from Europe to Manila. 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.

Most flights from Europe to Manila connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers a wide range of ways to spend your time between flights. For longer layovers, you can explore indoor gardens, themed rest areas, and entertainment zones, or you may join one of the free transit tours of Singapore, subject to eligibility and timing.
If your connection is shorter, staying airside is usually the most relaxing option. You can refresh with a shower, enjoy a meal from the many dining outlets, or stretch your legs along the quiet walking routes between gates while making use of charging points and rest areas.
Families and solo travellers alike will find comfortable seating, play zones, and work-friendly spaces across the terminals, all clearly signposted. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait, it is an integral part of your journey.

Manila operates on Philippine Time, which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. European departure countries span several time zones and many observe seasonal clock changes.
The United Kingdom, Ireland, and Portugal typically use UTC in winter and UTC+1 in summer, making Manila 8 hours ahead in winter and 7 hours ahead in summer. Countries such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Switzerland usually follow Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) in summer, so Manila is 7 hours ahead in winter and 6 hours ahead in summer.
Turkey generally operates on UTC+3 year-round, so Manila is 5 hours ahead of Istanbul. Daylight saving time in most European countries runs roughly from late March to late October, so the exact time difference depends on your travel month and departure city.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Manila 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 Manila, 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.
