For flights between Dhaka and Manila, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are as follows: Economy Class passengers may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, or 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class passengers may check 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 baggage allowance is always shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. Wi-Fi is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; 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 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 Boeing 787-10 and the Airbus A350-900 operating this route, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width for comfortable legroom. In Business Class, you can enjoy a fully flat bed with generous space and direct aisle access on each sector of the journey.

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 Dhaka but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers an official transit tour programme, which you can usually join if your layover is at least around 5.5 to 6 hours, allowing you to see highlights of the city before returning for your onward flight. Check availability and timing once you arrive.

If you prefer to stay airside, you will find themed gardens, quiet zones, rest areas, and family-friendly attractions, as well as a wide choice of dining and shopping across the terminals. Airport hotels and nap facilities are also available for longer layovers.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Manila (MNL) when flying from Dhaka 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 (Dhaka–Singapore and Singapore–Manila) 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 Manila 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 Dhaka–Manila 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.

Dhaka follows Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) and does not observe daylight saving time. Manila follows Philippine Time (UTC+8) and also does not observe daylight saving time. Manila is therefore 2 hours ahead of Dhaka throughout the year.
