Flights from Melbourne (MEL) to Cebu (CEB)

In-flight Dining
On the Melbourne to Singapore sector, you will be served thoughtfully prepared meals in every cabin, with menus that reflect both regional and international flavours. On the shorter Singapore to Cebu sector, you will also enjoy an appropriate meal or snack service depending on your cabin.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on the long-haul and regional sectors for specific dietary needs, which you can request in advance through our Manage Booking portal or via your travel agent before departure.

Book the Cook
Eligible premium cabins on the Melbourne to Singapore sector can use our Book the Cook service, allowing you to reserve selected main courses before you fly, subject to route and departure time. This helps you personalise your dining experience on board.

Beverage Service
Throughout your journey from Melbourne to Cebu, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold beverages, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board if you would like a distinctly Singapore experience during your flight.

For Melbourne to Cebu flights, our baggage policy is based on the weight concept. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (25kg on Lite and Value fares, 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares), Premium Economy Class (35kg), Business Class (40kg), and Suites or 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 Suites, First Class, and Business Class (2 pieces, each up to 7kg). Your exact allowance will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines services from Melbourne to Cebu once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should 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, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Melbourne to Singapore and Singapore to Cebu sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width. Where available, Premium Economy Class offers a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on long-haul aircraft and spacious reclining seats on the Boeing 737-8 MAX. Suites and First Class on selected Melbourne to Singapore services feature fully flat beds and generous personal space.

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.

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 Melbourne but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers can access The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, consider joining the official free city tour, which typically requires a minimum transit time of around 5.5 to 6 hours. This is a convenient way to experience a snapshot of Singapore before your onward flight to Cebu. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and explore Changi Airport’s attractions, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Some terminals also offer entertainment zones and comfortable seating where you can recharge and freshen up before boarding. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Melbourne operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST, UTC+10) from around April to early October, during which Cebu, on Philippine Time (UTC+8), is 2 hours behind. From early October to early April, Melbourne switches to Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT, UTC+11), making Cebu 3 hours behind.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Mactan-Cebu International Airport when flying from Melbourne 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 (Melbourne–Singapore and Singapore–Cebu) 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 Cebu 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 Melbourne–Cebu 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.
