Flights from Shenzhen (SZX) to Philippines

Yes, you are served meals on flights from Shenzhen to the Philippines. In all cabins, you can enjoy in-flight dining with a choice of main courses inspired by regional flavours, along with appetisers and desserts on longer sectors. You may request special meals in advance to suit many dietary needs.

A full beverage service, including juices, soft drinks, teas, coffees, and alcoholic drinks such as the Singapore Sling, is available.

Flights between China and the Philippines use the weight concept for checked baggage. In Economy Class, you typically have an allowance starting from 25kg. In Business Class, the allowance is higher, starting from 40kg. Cabin baggage is based on the number of pieces and size: in Economy Class you may usually bring one cabin bag, and in Business Class up to two, within published dimensions and weight limits. Exact allowances are shown on your ticket and may vary by fare type and KrisFlyer status.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Shenzhen to the Philippines once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional devices can use paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On routes from Shenzhen to Manila and Cebu, you can choose between Business Class and Economy Class. The Shenzhen–Singapore sector and the Singapore–Cebu sector are operated by Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft with these two cabins. The Singapore–Manila sector uses the Airbus A350-900 with a Business Class and Economy Class configuration, offering a slightly different seat design and cabin layout.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, designed for comfort on medium-haul flights. In Business Class, seats convert into fully flat beds, with direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900 and spacious configurations on the Boeing 737-8 MAX, giving you room to work, dine, and rest throughout your journey.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Philippines. 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 flights from Shenzhen to the Philippines connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed to make transit time comfortable and engaging. For longer layovers, you can explore themed gardens, free movie theatres, and, on qualifying itineraries, consider the free city transit tour that lets you see highlights of Singapore. For shorter stops, stay airside to enjoy showers, quiet rest areas, lounges, and varied dining and shopping close to your gate. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shenzhen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Manila and Cebu both use Philippine Time (UTC+8) and do not observe daylight saving time. This means there is no time difference between Shenzhen and either Manila or Cebu at any time of the year.

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