Flights from Manila (MNL) to Vietnam

Yes, meals are served on Singapore Airlines flights from Manila to Vietnam. On these medium-haul and regional routes, you can enjoy our in-flight dining with thoughtfully designed menus, including a choice of main courses and accompaniments. You may request special meals in advance to suit your dietary needs, subject to availability. On selected flights and in eligible cabins, you can pre-select from an expanded range of dishes through our Book the Cook service, offered from Singapore. A full beverage service is available, including juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and a selection of alcoholic beverages, as well as our signature Singapore Sling on many services.

On flights between the Philippines and Vietnam via Singapore, Singapore Airlines generally applies the weight concept for checked baggage. For Economy Class, you can usually check in up to 25kg. For Business Class, you can usually check in up to 40kg. Across all cabins, you may also bring cabin baggage within the permitted size and weight limits. Exact allowances depend on your fare type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket or the Singapore Airlines website before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Manila to Vietnam once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members across all cabins; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional users can purchase paid plans onboard. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across routes from Manila to Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi via Singapore, Singapore Airlines offers Business Class and Economy Class, with configurations varying by aircraft type. The Airbus A350-900, Boeing 787-10, and Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft used on these routes all feature a dedicated Business Class cabin and an Economy Class cabin.

On flights from Manila to Vietnam, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, depending on aircraft type. Business Class seats convert to a fully flat bed, with every seat providing direct aisle access or easy aisle access, again depending on the specific aircraft configuration. Different aircraft on these routes, including the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 787-10, and Boeing 737-8 MAX, may have slightly different layouts, but all are designed to maximise comfort within each cabin.

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

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.

Most journeys from Manila to Vietnam connect at Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For shorter transits, you can stay airside to enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, showers, and varied dining and shopping. With more time, you may be able to join a free transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and scheduling, or relax in an airport hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Manila follows Philippine Time (UTC+8). Vietnam, including Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi, observes Indochina Time (UTC+7) and does not use daylight saving time. This means Vietnam is typically 1 hour behind Manila throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Vietnam 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 Vietnam, 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.
