Flights from Manila to the United Kingdom use the piece-concept baggage system, as they operate between the Philippines and Europe. In Economy Class, you can typically check in at least one piece of checked baggage within the standard allowance. Premium Economy Class offers a higher checked baggage allowance than Economy Class.
In Business Class, you enjoy an even more generous checked baggage allowance, suitable for longer trips or multi-city itineraries. All passengers may bring cabin baggage on board within size and weight limits, plus a small personal item.
Exact allowances can vary depending on your ticket type and KrisFlyer or partner frequent flyer status, so please refer to your booking details or our baggage information page before you travel.

Most journeys from Manila to the United Kingdom connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which is easy to navigate and offers many ways to spend your time. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, shops, and a wide choice of dining options.
If you have a longer daytime layover and enough time before your next flight, you can consider joining one of the airport’s official transit experiences, subject to availability and entry requirements. Alternatively, airport hotels and rest areas let you relax and freshen up between flights.
Family-friendly play spaces, art installations, and quiet corners make it simple to tailor your time to your energy level, whether you want to explore or simply unwind. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Manila operates on Philippine Time, which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. The United Kingdom uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) in winter and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) from late March to late October.
During UK winter months, London and Manchester are typically 8 hours behind Manila. During UK summer time, they are usually 7 hours behind Manila.
Because the clocks change on specific dates each year, it is a good idea to confirm the exact time difference for your travel dates shortly before you fly.

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