Flights from Philippines to United States Of America

Yes, meals are provided on Singapore Airlines flights from the Philippines to the United States of America. You can enjoy multi-course in-flight dining with a choice of main courses designed for long journeys, complemented by light bites between meals on many services. We also offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance to suit various preferences and needs. On selected flights and in eligible cabins, you may be able to use our Book the Cook service to pre-select a main course created by renowned chefs. Throughout the flight, you can enjoy a full beverage service, including juices, soft drinks, hot drinks, and a selection of wines and spirits, as well as our signature Singapore Sling on most long-haul routes.

Flights from the Philippines to the United States of America follow the piece-concept baggage rules, as they involve travel to and from the US. Under this concept, your checked baggage allowance is based on the number of pieces and the cabin class shown on your ticket, while cabin baggage is limited by both size and weight. For these routes, the available cabins are Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. Business Class guests are generally allowed more pieces and higher weight per piece for checked baggage, along with a higher cabin baggage allowance. Premium Economy Class and Economy Class guests have a lower piece and weight allowance than Business Class, with identical or similar cabin baggage limits. Exact allowances can vary by fare type and KrisFlyer or partner frequent flyer status, so please check your e-ticket or the baggage section on our website before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft operating between the Philippines and the United States of America once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please add your membership number to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure to ensure access. Non-members, or those who prefer, can purchase paid Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging apps, email, and basic web browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers reliably.

On flights from Manila and Cebu to the United States of America via Singapore, Singapore Airlines offers Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class, depending on the aircraft and specific flight. Some sectors, such as regional services between the Philippines and Singapore, may have a simplified cabin configuration compared with the long-haul Singapore to United States sectors operated by the Airbus A350-900. When you book, you will be able to see which cabin classes are available for each flight in your chosen itinerary.

Across these routes, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to a 19-inch seat width, giving you room to stretch out compared with many standard economy configurations. Premium Economy Class provides a more spacious 38-inch pitch and up to a 20-inch seat width, along with a wider recline and leg rest on many aircraft. In Business Class, seats convert into a fully flat bed, and every seat has direct aisle access on long-haul aircraft such as the Airbus A350-900. Specific layouts can vary slightly between aircraft types and routes, but these measurements are a good guide to what you can expect.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from Philippines to United States of America. 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 the Philippines to the United States of America with Singapore Airlines connect via Singapore Changi Airport Singapore (SIN). If you have a longer layover, you can consider joining one of the airport’s free guided transit tours into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, or explore the airport’s themed gardens, art installations, and entertainment zones. For shorter layovers, you may prefer to stay airside, where you can enjoy quiet rest areas, showers, nap spaces, and a wide range of shops and dining. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

The Philippines observes a single time zone, Philippine Time (UTC+8), with no daylight saving time. In the United States of America, Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco follow Pacific Time, which is normally UTC-8, changing to UTC-7 during daylight saving time (typically March to early November). New York follows Eastern Time, usually UTC-5, changing to UTC-4 during daylight saving time. This means the time difference between the Philippines and the US West Coast is usually 16 hours (or 15 hours during US daylight saving), and between the Philippines and New York is usually 13 hours (or 12 hours during US daylight saving).

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in United States of America 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 United States of America, 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.
