Flights from Busan (PUS) to Philippines

Yes, meals are served on Singapore Airlines flights from Busan to the Philippines. You can look forward to in-flight dining with a choice of main courses, complemented by appetisers and desserts tailored to the flight length. Special meals can be requested in advance to meet medical, vegetarian, or other needs. On eligible sectors, you may also be able to pre-select from an extended menu with our Book the Cook service.

On flights between South Korea and the Philippines operated by Singapore Airlines, the baggage allowance generally follows the weight concept. In Economy Class, you can usually check in up to 25–30 kg of checked baggage, while Business Class typically allows a higher checked baggage limit. Cabin baggage is limited to one piece in Economy Class and two pieces in Business Class, each within our size and weight limits. Exact allowances depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket or our website before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Busan 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. Non-members and additional devices can use paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

From Busan to both Manila and Cebu, flights are operated in Business Class and Economy Class. The Busan–Singapore and Singapore–Cebu sectors use the Boeing 737-8 MAX, while the Singapore–Manila sector uses the Airbus A350-900, so seat layout and features may differ slightly between aircraft, but cabin class options remain the same.

In Economy Class, you can expect around 32-inch seat pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, designed for comfort on longer journeys. In Business Class, seats convert to a fully flat bed, with direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900 sector and spacious seating on the Boeing 737-8 MAX, giving you room to rest and work throughout the trip.

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

Most flights from Busan to the Philippines connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive amenities. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, showers, and a wide range of dining and shopping options without leaving the terminal. With more time, you may join a free transit tour, subject to schedule and eligibility, to see highlights of Singapore between flights. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Busan follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9). Manila and Cebu both follow Philippine Time (UTC+8) and do not observe daylight saving time. This means the Philippines is typically 1 hour behind Busan throughout the year.

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