Flights from Johannesburg (JNB) to Cebu (CEB)

In-flight Dining
On your Johannesburg to Singapore sector you will be served thoughtfully prepared meals, with a full-service dining experience in all cabins, followed by a shorter regional service between Singapore and Cebu.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on the long-haul and regional sectors, which you can request in advance through our booking channels. This helps us prepare a suitable option before you board.

Book the Cook
Eligible customers in selected premium cabins can pre-order from an expanded menu with Book the Cook on the Johannesburg to Singapore sector, choosing from a variety of main courses prepared specially for their flight.

Beverage Service
Throughout your journey you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, teas, coffees, and our signature Singapore Sling, which is available on board.

For flights between Johannesburg and Cebu, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are as follows: Economy Class (25kg on Lite/Value fares, 30kg on Standard/Flexi fares), Premium Economy Class (35kg), and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class guests may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, and Business Class guests may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your exact 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 once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Johannesburg to Singapore sector operated by the Airbus A350-900, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class converts into a fully flat bed with direct aisle access. On the Singapore to Cebu sector on the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class provides a comfortable 32-inch pitch, while Business Class features a fully flat bed-style seat layout designed for regional comfort.

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 Johannesburg but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible customers may be invited to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy lush indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide range of dining options without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers, you may have time to join an official city tour, which typically requires several hours between flights to join safely and return in time. Shorter connections are best spent exploring the airport’s attractions, including relaxation zones and family-friendly spaces. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Johannesburg operates on South Africa Standard Time, which is UTC+2 and does not observe daylight saving time. Cebu follows Philippine Time, which is UTC+8 and also does not change throughout the year. Cebu is therefore 6 hours ahead of Johannesburg at all times.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Mactan-Cebu International Airport when flying from Johannesburg 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 (Johannesburg–Singapore and Singapore–Cebu) 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 Cebu 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 Johannesburg–Cebu 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.
