Flights between Riyadh and the Philippines use the weight-concept baggage allowance, as they operate between Saudi Arabia and Asia. Across available cabins, Economy Class customers usually enjoy a generous checked baggage allowance, while Business Class customers receive an even higher allowance. All customers may bring cabin baggage on board within size and weight limits appropriate to their travel class. Exact entitlements can vary by fare type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your ticket or booking confirmation for specific details.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Riyadh to the Philippines once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure to enjoy this benefit. Non-members, or those who prefer, can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The service is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to the Philippines.

Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Most flights from Riyadh to the Philippines connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed to be easy and enjoyable to transit. For shorter layovers, you can explore indoor gardens, rest areas, children’s play zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping options within the terminals. With longer time between flights, you may join an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, to see highlights of Singapore before returning to the airport. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Riyadh follows Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3). Manila and Cebu both follow Philippine Time (UTC+8) and do not observe daylight saving time. This means the Philippines is generally 5 hours ahead of Riyadh throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in the Philippines when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to the Philippines, 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.
