Flights from Philippines to Europe

Yes, we serve complimentary meals on all flights from the Philippines to Europe. On each sector, you can enjoy carefully prepared dishes that highlight both Asian and international flavours, with menus designed to suit different times of day and journeys.
If you have specific dietary preferences or requirements, you can pre-order from our selection of special meals in advance of your flight, subject to route and timing. On selected sectors and cabins, you can also use our Book the Cook service to choose from a wider menu before you travel.
Throughout your journey, a full beverage service is available, including soft drinks, juices, hot drinks, and a curated selection of wines and spirits. You can also savour our signature Singapore Sling on board, subject to route and cabin, as you relax between the Philippines and Europe.

Flights from the Philippines to Europe generally use the weight-concept baggage allowance, as is standard for many international routes. Your exact checked baggage allowance depends on your cabin class and KrisFlyer or partner frequent flyer status.
For Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, you can typically check in a generous weight allowance, with differences between the two cabins reflecting the added comfort and inclusions of Premium Economy Class. In Business Class and First Class, higher checked baggage allowances usually apply, giving you more flexibility for longer trips.
All customers may also bring cabin baggage within specified size and weight limits, which vary by cabin class. Your exact entitlements are shown during booking and on your e-ticket, so please review these before travelling, as well as any updates to our baggage policy.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft once the flight reaches above 10,000 feet, including many services between the Philippines, Singapore, and Europe. Coverage and speed can vary by aircraft type and route, but you can usually connect shortly after take-off and remain online for most of the journey.
KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi on eligible plans; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your KrisFlyer membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure to benefit. Non-members and additional users can purchase paid Wi-Fi plans on board, with options suited to different data needs.
The service is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, helping you stay in touch or manage travel plans while in the air. Due to bandwidth limitations, it is not designed for video streaming, video calls, or transferring large files.

Across routes from Manila and Cebu to Europe via Singapore, you can choose from several cabin classes, depending on your specific flight and aircraft. Economy Class is available on all routes, offering comfortable seating, in-flight entertainment, and complimentary meals.
Premium Economy Class is offered on many services between Singapore and key European cities, as well as on selected flights between the Philippines and Singapore, giving you extra space, enhanced comfort, and additional amenities. Business Class is available across most routes, with spacious seating and added privacy, ideal for working or resting on long-haul sectors.
On selected flights to cities such as London, Frankfurt, Zurich, and Paris, First Class is also available on aircraft configured with this cabin. Cabin configurations can differ by route and aircraft type, so you can check the available classes for your chosen flights during the booking process.

Legroom and seat space differ by cabin, but all are designed for comfort on long journeys between the Philippines and Europe. In Economy Class, you can expect around a 32-inch seat pitch, with seat widths of up to 19 inches, along with adjustable headrests and in-seat entertainment.
Premium Economy Class provides extra space, with around a 38-inch seat pitch and seat widths of up to 20 inches, plus added recline and leg support on many aircraft. This makes longer flights between Singapore and European cities more comfortable, especially on overnight sectors.
Business Class offers a fully flat bed on our long-haul aircraft, with every seat providing direct aisle access on most configurations, allowing you to stretch out and rest properly. First Class, available on selected Boeing 777-300ER services to certain European cities, features a fully flat bed and an even more spacious, private environment. Specific layouts can vary between aircraft types and routes, so you can review seating plans for your flight when booking.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from Philippines to Europe. 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 the Philippines to Europe with Singapore Airlines connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for comfortable and engaging layovers. For shorter connections, you can stay airside and enjoy quiet seating zones, indoor gardens, children’s play areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping.
If you have a longer layover, you can explore more of the airport’s attractions, such as themed gardens, walking trails, and rest areas, or relax in a lounge if you are eligible or purchase access where available. Depending on your connection time and eligibility, you may also be able to join a transit tour into the city, subject to the airport’s current offerings and requirements.
Whether you choose to rest, explore, or work between flights, Singapore Changi Airport offers many ways to make the most of your transit. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

The Philippines observes a single time zone, Philippine Time (UTC+8), with no daylight saving time. Europe spans several time zones, and many countries adjust their clocks seasonally, so the time difference can change during the year.
Most of the European destinations served on these routes, including Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, France, and the Netherlands, follow Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from roughly late March to late October. This means they are typically 7 hours behind the Philippines in winter and 6 hours behind in summer.
The United Kingdom observes Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) in winter and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) in summer, usually making London and Manchester 8 hours behind the Philippines in winter and 7 hours behind in summer. Turkey, including Istanbul, usually keeps Turkey Time (UTC+3) year-round, so it is generally 5 hours behind the Philippines, although changes in European daylight saving can make the practical difference feel slightly different when coordinating travel times.

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