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

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines services between Manila, Singapore, and Surabaya 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 service 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–Surabaya sectors, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, giving you a comfortable amount of legroom. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access, allowing you to rest or work with ease throughout your journey.

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.

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. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can make the most of the airport’s extensive amenities. For longer connections, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires several hours of transit time and sufficient buffer for immigration and security formalities. For shorter layovers, stay airside to enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and a wide selection of dining and shopping options spread across the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi 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. Surabaya follows Western Indonesia Time, which is UTC+7 and also does not use daylight saving time. This means Surabaya is 1 hour behind Manila throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Surabaya airport 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–Surabaya) 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 Surabaya 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–Surabaya 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.
