Most connections from the Philippines to Los Angeles route through Singapore Changi Airport, where you can enjoy indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, shopping, and a wide choice of dining. With a longer layover, you can consider a free or guided transit tour of the city, subject to schedule and eligibility, while shorter stays are easily filled with a shower, a meal, and a walk through the themed terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Manila and Cebu share the same time zone, Philippine Time (UTC+8), and do not observe daylight saving time. Los Angeles follows Pacific Time, which is UTC−8 in winter and UTC−7 from roughly March to early November due to daylight saving. This means Los Angeles is typically 16 hours behind the Philippines in winter and 15 hours behind during US daylight saving months.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles, 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.
