For flights between Manila and Brisbane, the weight concept applies to checked baggage. In Economy Class, Lite and Value fares include 25kg, while Standard and Flexi fares include 30kg of checked baggage. In Business Class, the checked baggage allowance is 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.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Manila to Brisbane once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Business Class passengers should add their KrisFlyer number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Manila to Singapore and Singapore to Brisbane sectors, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the journey. Business Class features a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-10 aircraft.

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.

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.

In Singapore (SIN), eligible travellers may be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and frequent flyer status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers many ways to relax between your Manila and Brisbane flights. For longer layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city for a brief introduction to Singapore. For shorter connections, you can enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones within the terminals. There are also transit hotels and nap facilities if you prefer to rest in privacy. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Manila follows Philippine Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. Brisbane follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and also does not observe daylight saving time. This means Brisbane is 2 hours ahead of Manila throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Brisbane 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–Brisbane) 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 Brisbane 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–Brisbane 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.
