In Business Class on both sectors, you will have a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900. On the Boeing 787-10 between Manila and Singapore, Business Class also provides a fully flat bed and direct aisle access in a modern cabin layout.

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 customers may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin class and frequent flyer 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 Manila but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities, including themed gardens, rest areas, and play spaces, making it easy to relax without leaving the terminal. With a longer layover of around 5.5 hours or more, you may be able to join an official transit tour of the city, subject to eligibility and timing.

For shorter layovers, you can enjoy indoor gardens, art installations, and quiet zones, or refresh with shower facilities and a range of dining options. Airport hotels and nap areas are also available 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.

Manila follows Philippine Time, which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. Manchester follows United Kingdom time, using 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 typically 8 hours behind Manila in winter, and 7 hours behind in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Manchester Airport when flying from Manila 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 (Manila–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 Manila–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.
