On the long-haul London to Singapore sector, you can enjoy our in-flight dining with curated menus inspired by international and regional flavours. Special meals can be requested in advance to suit many dietary needs.

Flights between the United Kingdom and the Philippines generally use the weight-concept baggage allowance. For Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, you can usually check at least one piece within the permitted weight, while Business Class, First Class, and Suites guests enjoy a higher checked baggage allowance. All customers may bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits appropriate to their cabin. Exact allowances depend on your fare type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your ticket details before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from London to the Philippines once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are flying 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 users can purchase access plans on board. The connection is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across the London to Philippines routes, you can travel in Suites, First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, or Economy Class, depending on the specific flight combination. Suites and First Class are available on selected London to Singapore services. Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class are offered on most London to Singapore flights, while the onward flights from Singapore to Manila and Cebu provide Business Class and Economy Class.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width. Premium Economy Class offers around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width for extra comfort. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on long-haul flights, giving you generous personal space. First Class and Suites provide a fully flat bed and even more room to stretch out, with the most spacious configuration available on Airbus A380-800 services from London to Singapore. Cabin layouts and seats may vary slightly by aircraft and route.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to the 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 journeys from London to the Philippines connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join an official transit tour into the city, subject to timing and eligibility, to see highlights before returning for your onward flight. For shorter connections, stay airside to enjoy Changi's indoor gardens, art displays, quiet rest areas, showers, and family-friendly attractions, or relax in a lounge if eligible. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

The Philippines follows a single time zone, Philippine Time (UTC+8), for both Manila and Cebu. London operates on Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) from late October to late March, making the Philippines 8 hours ahead. During British Summer Time, from late March to late October, London moves to UTC+1, so the Philippines is 7 hours ahead.

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