In-flight Dining
You will be served meals on both sectors of your journey, with menus designed to reflect regional flavours and offer a choice of main courses, including options in Economy Class.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on request to meet specific dietary needs or preferences. Please place your request through Manage Booking or your travel agent at least 48 hours before departure.

Book the Cook
On eligible cabins and sectors, you can pre-select from an expanded menu through our Book the Cook service, giving you more choice over the main courses served on board your flight.

Beverage Service

For flights between Dubai and Manchester, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (Lite and Value fares: 25kg; Standard and Flexi: 30kg), Premium Economy Class (35kg), Business Class (40kg), and First Class (50kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are: Economy Class and Premium Economy Class (1 piece up to 7kg), and Business Class and First Class (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 Singapore Airlines flights from Dubai to Manchester once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, although Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Dubai–Singapore and Singapore–Manchester sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, while Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width. Business Class features seats that convert into fully flat beds with direct aisle access, and First Class on the Dubai–Singapore sector offers a fully flat bed in a spacious, private setting.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be invited to The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, 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 Dubai but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you may be able to join one of Singapore Changi Airport’s official transit tours, which give you a short introduction to the city without needing to manage your luggage. For shorter layovers, staying airside offers plenty of ways to relax.

Within the terminals, you can explore themed gardens, rest in quiet zones, or enjoy facilities such as swimming pools, play areas, and cinemas, depending on your terminal. There are also transit hotels and nap spaces if you prefer to rest between flights.

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

Dubai follows Gulf Standard Time, which is UTC+4 and does not observe daylight saving time. Manchester follows UK time: Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) from late October to late March, and British Summer Time (UTC+1) from late March to late October. This means Manchester is usually 3 or 4 hours behind Dubai, depending on the time of year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Manchester Airport when flying from Dubai 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 (Dubai–Singapore and Singapore–Manchester) 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 Manchester 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 Dubai–Manchester 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.
