Book the Cook is available for eligible Business Class customers on the Manila–Singapore sector, allowing you to pre-select from a curated menu. Availability may vary by sector and aircraft, so please check the options displayed when managing your booking.

For flights between Manila and Chongqing, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are as follows: Economy Class customers may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class customers may check up to 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class customers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg. Business Class customers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final allowance for your trip 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 Chongqing once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, although Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. 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 Manila–Singapore and Singapore–Chongqing sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable space for the journey. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on long-haul aircraft types, giving you ample room to work, dine, and rest.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may relax in facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can make the most of world-class transit facilities. For longer connections of around 5.5 hours or more, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, to see some highlights before returning for your onward flight.

If you prefer to stay airside or have a shorter layover, the airport offers themed gardens, rest areas, entertainment zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping options across its terminals. You can also consider airport hotels or snooze areas to rest between flights.

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 year-round and does not observe daylight saving time. Chongqing also uses China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 with no daylight saving time. This means there is typically no time difference between Manila and Chongqing at any time of the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chongqing Jiangbei 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–Chongqing) 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 Chongqing 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–Chongqing 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.
