For a single Singapore Airlines ticket from Chongqing to Manila, we usually check your baggage through to your final destination, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore. We recommend confirming this at check-in in Chongqing, especially if you have separate tickets or special arrangements.

Chongqing follows China Standard Time (UTC+8), and Manila follows Philippine Time (UTC+8). There is no daylight saving time in either location, so the time in Chongqing and Manila is the same throughout the year.

For Singapore Airlines flights from Chongqing to Manila via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay in the Philippines, as well as any transit rules for Singapore. We recommend checking with the relevant embassies or official government websites, and reviewing current entry and transit guidelines before you travel.

Whether you can leave Singapore Changi Airport during your layover depends on your nationality, visa requirements, and the length of your connection.
