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.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can consider joining the official free city tour programme, which typically requires at least about 5.5 to 6 hours of transit time. This lets you briefly explore the city before returning for your onward flight.

With a shorter layover, you may prefer to stay airside and enjoy Changi Airport’s many amenities, including themed gardens, art installations, rest areas, and family-friendly play zones. There are also transit hotels and nap facilities if you wish to rest between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Los Angeles International Airport on a Singapore Airlines-operated flight to Manila via Singapore, eligible customers may be invited to use the Star Alliance Lounge, depending on their cabin class or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status. Lounge access is determined by the conditions of your ticket and membership tier.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers travelling on Singapore Airlines-operated flights may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. Access depends on your class of travel and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status.

Los Angeles follows Pacific Time (UTC-8) and observes daylight saving time, moving to UTC-7 from roughly March to early November. Manila follows Philippine Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Manila is typically 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles in winter and 15 hours ahead in summer.

For flights from Los Angeles to Manila via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Los Angeles International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows sufficient time for check-in, security screening, and reaching your departure gate in a relaxed manner.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the Philippine authorities or your local embassy, as well as any transit requirements for Singapore, before you travel.

When you travel from Los Angeles to Manila with Singapore Airlines, your connection at Singapore Changi Airport is usually on the same ticket, and your checked baggage is typically tagged through to Manila. Follow the transfer signs on arrival, check the screens for your next gate, and allow time to explore the terminal if your layover is longer.

Manila serves as a major gateway to other cities and islands across the Philippines, with many domestic flights departing from its airports. If you plan to continue your journey, allow ample connection time and check your booking details to confirm whether your domestic sector is on a separate ticket.
