Flights from Manila (MNL) to Beijing (BJS)

In-flight Dining
You will be served complimentary meals on both the Manila–Singapore and Singapore–Beijing sectors, with menus designed to suit different tastes and flight times.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals to meet specific dietary needs, which you can request in advance through our website or your booking agent.

Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in premium cabins on selected flights can pre-order dishes from our Book the Cook menu, giving you more choice and control over your main meals on board.

Beverage Service
Throughout the journey, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and our signature Singapore Sling, served on board.

For flights between Manila and Beijing, our baggage policy follows the weight concept. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (25kg for Lite and Value fares, 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares) and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are: Economy Class (1 piece, up to 7kg) and Business Class (2 pieces, each up to 7kg). Your final allowance will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines services from Manila to Beijing once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Manila–Singapore and Singapore–Beijing sectors, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous personal space and every seat offering direct aisle access on these aircraft.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

You may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge during your transit, depending on your eligibility.

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.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Manila but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join one of the official free transit tours into the city, which generally require a minimum layover of around 5.5–6 hours. These tours let you see key sights without managing transport yourself.

For shorter connections, staying airside gives you access to gardens, quiet zones, art installations, free rest areas, and, in some terminals, facilities such as cinemas and paid swimming pools or spas. Dining options range from quick snacks to full meals.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Manila follows Philippine Time, which is UTC+8 year-round and does not observe daylight saving time. Beijing also operates on UTC+8 throughout the year without seasonal changes. This means there is no time difference between Manila and Beijing at any time of the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Beijing when flying from Manila via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Manila–Singapore and Singapore–Beijing) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Beijing is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Manila–Beijing trip, 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.
