For Shenzhen–Manila flights, our weight-concept baggage allowances apply. In Economy Class, Lite and Value fares include 25kg of checked baggage, while Standard and Flexi fares include 30kg. Business Class includes 40kg of checked baggage. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg. Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final baggage allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on our Shenzhen–Singapore and Singapore–Manila flights 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 connection is suitable for messaging apps, email, and basic web browsing. It does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, so we recommend downloading any heavy content before you fly.

On both the Boeing 737-8 MAX and Airbus A350-900 services on this route, Economy Class seats offer a pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable legroom for regional flights. Business Class offers a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access or easy aisle reach, depending on the specific cabin layout on each aircraft.

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.

Eligible customers may be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport, depending on cabin and status.

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

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy indoor gardens, themed rest areas, playgrounds, and quiet zones that make even a short layover relaxing. For longer transits, you can explore swimming pools, entertainment areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options spread across the terminals.

If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you may consider a city tour or a brief independent visit into the city, subject to immigration requirements and tour availability. For shorter layovers, staying airside gives you more time to enjoy the airport’s amenities and rest before your onward flight.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shenzhen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8), while Manila follows Philippine Time (UTC+8). There is no daylight saving time in either location, so the time is the same in Shenzhen and Manila throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila when flying from Shenzhen 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 (Shenzhen–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 Shenzhen–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.
