Flights from Manila (MNL) to India

Yes, meals are served on flights from Manila to India. In-flight dining features multi-course meals in premium cabins and thoughtfully prepared selections in Economy Class, with a choice of cuisines on each sector.

You can request special meals in advance to meet many medical or personal dietary needs on eligible flights. These should be ordered before your trip so we can confirm availability.

On selected routes, Book the Cook is available in premium cabins from Singapore, allowing you to choose from a wider pre-order menu. A full beverage service, including juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and the signature Singapore Sling in most cabins, is also offered.

Flights between the Philippines and India use the weight-concept baggage policy. In Economy Class, you can typically check in up to 25kg of checked baggage. In Premium Economy Class, the allowance is usually 35kg. In Business Class, the allowance is generally 40kg. All customers may also bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits that vary by cabin class. Exact entitlements depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please refer to your e-ticket for confirmed allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Manila to India 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 add your membership number at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional devices can use paid plans. The connection supports messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across routes from Manila to India, you can travel in Economy Class and Business Class on all sectors. Premium Economy Class is available on the Airbus A350-900 services between Singapore and Bengaluru. Specific cabin configurations may vary by aircraft type and route, so you can review the options shown during booking.

In Economy Class, you can expect around 32-inch seat pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, depending on the aircraft. Premium Economy Class, available on selected Bengaluru flights, offers about 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width. In Business Class on all routes, seats convert into fully flat beds, with direct aisle access on wide-body aircraft such as the Airbus A350-900 and a spacious recline and generous pitch on the Boeing 737-8 MAX. Exact configurations can differ slightly between aircraft operating each city pair.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to India. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Lounge Access Eligibility

The Next Segment Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport.

Most flights to India from Manila connect at Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can consider joining the free city transit tour when available, giving you a glimpse of Singapore's skyline and key districts. For shorter connections, staying airside lets you enjoy the airport's gardens, relaxation areas, and shower facilities.

Changi also offers extensive shopping and dining, quiet rest zones, and family-friendly play areas, so you can tailor your time to your energy level. Airport wayfinding is clear, and transfer security and immigration processes are designed for smooth connections.

Whether you choose to explore the city briefly or relax within the terminals, your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Manila follows Philippine Time (UTC+8). Most Indian cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad, use Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30). India does not observe daylight saving time, so India is consistently 2 hours 30 minutes behind Manila throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in India 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 India, 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.
