Flights from Manila (MNL) to Busan (PUS)

In-flight Dining
On your Manila to Busan journey via Singapore, you will be served meals appropriate to the time of day in both Economy Class and Business Class, with menus designed to offer a balance of regional and international flavours.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on this route for various dietary needs. You can request these in advance through Manage Booking, and they will be served in place of the standard menu.

Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in Business Class on selected sectors of this route can pre-order from our Book the Cook service, choosing from curated main courses prepared specially for your flight.

Beverage Service
Throughout the journey, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks. Our signature Singapore Sling is available on board, along with a range of other beverages.

For flights between Manila and Busan, our weight concept applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares. In Business Class, the checked baggage allowance is 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final 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 Manila to Busan once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Business Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Manila to Singapore and Singapore to Busan sectors, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access on these aircraft types.

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 Manila but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible passengers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Singapore Changi Airport is well suited to spending your layover comfortably. For longer connections, you can join a free transit tour into the city if your schedule allows, with a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours typically required to participate.

If you prefer to stay airside, the airport offers themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and, in some terminals, facilities such as swimming pools and cinemas. There are also transit hotels and snooze zones where you can rest between flights.

Dining, shopping, and relaxation options are located throughout the terminals, all clearly signposted to help you move easily between gates. 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 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Busan follows Korea Standard Time, which is UTC+9 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Busan is therefore 1 hour ahead of Manila throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Gimhae International 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–Busan) 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 Busan 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–Busan 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.
