Most journeys from Los Angeles to the Philippines connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can explore the airport's themed gardens, attractions, and relaxation areas, or consider a transit tour when available. Shorter connections are comfortably spent airside, with plenty of dining, shopping, and rest zones spread across the 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, which is typically 15 hours ahead of Los Angeles when Los Angeles is on Pacific Standard Time (roughly November to early March), and 14 hours ahead when Los Angeles observes Pacific Daylight Time (roughly March to early November).

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