Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Kolkata (CCU)

Book the Cook
On eligible cabins and sectors, you can take advantage of our Book the Cook service, pre-selecting from a wider menu of main courses before your flight. This allows you to personalise your dining experience and look forward to a preferred dish on board.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks is available throughout your journey, including juices, soft drinks, teas, and coffees. You can also enjoy our signature Singapore Sling on board, alongside a curated range of other beverages.

On the Airbus A350-900, you can enjoy KrisWorld, our inflight entertainment system, on both the Manchester–Singapore and Singapore–Kolkata sectors. Each seat has a personal screen with a wide selection of films, TV, music, and games, as well as content suitable for younger travellers.

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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can choose from gardens, quiet zones, play areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping. For longer layovers, you may wish to join one of the official transit tours into the city, which typically require at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. Shorter connections are well spent exploring the airport’s themed spaces, relaxation areas, and viewing decks. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Manchester Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use partner lounges such as the 1903 Lounge or the Escape Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Access is confirmed at check-in, and paid-entry options may also be available directly from the lounge operators.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Access eligibility is based on your onward flight from Singapore and will be confirmed at the airport.

Manchester follows UK time, which is UTC+0 (Greenwich Mean Time) from late October to late March, and UTC+1 (British Summer Time) from late March to late October. Kolkata follows Indian Standard Time, which is UTC+5:30 all year. This means Kolkata is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of Manchester in winter, and 4 hours 30 minutes ahead in summer.

When you fly this route with us, you will depart from Manchester Airport and connect at Singapore Changi Airport before arriving at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata. All sectors on this routing are operated by Singapore Airlines.

Our itineraries from Manchester to Kolkata are planned to provide a comfortable and legal connection time at Singapore Changi Airport. If you book both sectors on a single Singapore Airlines ticket, your transfer meets our minimum connection standards, and our teams will guide you through transit if you need assistance.

Transit visa requirements depend on your nationality and travel documents. We recommend checking the latest entry and transit regulations with the relevant authorities or your local Singapore diplomatic mission before you travel, as rules can change and may differ for airside transit and entering the city.

On arrival at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, you will clear immigration, collect your checked baggage, and pass through customs. Airport facilities include transport connections into the city, information counters, and basic services such as food outlets and mobile service providers. You should check current local transport options before you travel.
