We offer a variety of special meals that can be requested in advance to suit different dietary needs. Please place your request when booking or via Manage Booking before you travel.

Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in selected premium cabins on Singapore Airlines flights can pre-order from our Book the Cook service on many routes, allowing a wider choice of main courses when available on your flight.

For flights between Manila and Ho Chi Minh City, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class passengers may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class passengers may check up to 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final allowance shown on your e-ticket applies to your trip, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Manila to Ho Chi Minh City via Singapore 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 connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Manila to Singapore and Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City sectors, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable legroom for regional flights. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on these services, giving you ample space to rest and work.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

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.

Singapore Changi Airport is well suited to both short and longer layovers, with extensive facilities, themed gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones located across its terminals. If you have enough time between flights, you can also explore additional amenities such as transit hotels and swimming pools within the airport complex.

For layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, you may consider an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, which allows you to see highlights of Singapore before returning to continue your journey. For shorter connections, you can relax in quiet zones, enjoy dining options, or explore the airport’s art installations and indoor nature spaces.

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 (UTC+8) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Ho Chi Minh City uses Indochina Time (UTC+7), also without daylight saving. This means Ho Chi Minh City is typically 1 hour behind Manila throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tan Son Nhat International Airport 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–Ho Chi Minh City) 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 Ho Chi Minh City 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–Ho Chi Minh City 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.
