In-flight Dining
On Manila–Singapore and Singapore–Chengdu sectors, you will be served meals tailored to the time of day, with flavours inspired by regional and international cuisine in both Business Class and Economy Class.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals to meet different dietary requirements on this route. Please request your preferred option when you book or through Manage Booking at least 24 hours before departure.

Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in Business Class on selected sectors of this route may pre-select from an extended menu using our Book the Cook service, allowing you to choose your main course before you fly.

Beverage Service
Throughout the journey, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, adding a distinctive touch to your flight.

For Manila–Chengdu journeys, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Economy Class Lite and Value fares, 30kg for Economy Class Standard and Flexi fares, 40kg for Business Class, with each checked bag not exceeding 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are 1 piece up to 7kg in Economy Class, and 2 pieces up to 7kg each in Business Class. Your final 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 from Manila to Chengdu once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It 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. 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 both the Manila–Singapore and Singapore–Chengdu sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable space for regional flights. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-10, giving you ample room to rest throughout your 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 Manila but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

In Singapore, eligible customers may be invited to relax in facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide choice of ways to spend your layover, from themed gardens and art installations to rest areas and transit hotels. For longer connections of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining the official Free Singapore Tour to see highlights of the city. Shorter layovers are still enjoyable, with opportunities to explore butterfly and sunflower gardens, relax in quiet zones, or freshen up with shower and spa facilities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Manila operates on Philippine Time, which is UTC+8 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Chengdu also follows a UTC+8 time zone throughout the year. This means there is no time difference between Manila and Chengdu at any time of year.

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