Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Taipei to Manila 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. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Taipei–Singapore and Singapore–Manila sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable space for regional travel. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access, giving you ample room to rest and work throughout the 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 and Facilities
During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may relax in facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, offering comfortable seating, refreshments, and work areas between flights.

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 Taipei but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive amenities, so even a short layover can be relaxing and engaging. You can enjoy indoor gardens, rest areas, and play zones, or freshen up with shower facilities and a quiet corner to recharge.

For longer connections, you may join the airport's free city tour programme, which usually requires a minimum layover of about 5.5 to 6 hours, allowing you to see highlights of Singapore before returning to your gate. Alternatively, you can explore the airport's themed zones, art installations, or viewing decks.

Whether you prefer to stay close to your departure gate or take advantage of the wider facilities, clear signage and efficient transfers make moving around straightforward. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Taipei operates on Taiwan Standard Time (UTC+8) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Manila uses Philippine Time (UTC+8), also without daylight saving time. This means there is no time difference between Taipei and Manila at any time of the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Manila when flying from Taipei 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 (Taipei–Singapore and Singapore–Manila) 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 Manila 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 Taipei–Manila 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.
