Flights from Manila (MNL) to Guangzhou (CAN)

In-flight Dining
On the Manila to Guangzhou journey via Singapore, you will be served meals appropriate to the time of day and flight duration in both Business Class and Economy Class. Menus feature a variety of regional and international options designed for comfort when flying.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance to suit different dietary needs. To ensure availability, please place your request when booking or manage your booking online well before departure.

Book the Cook
On eligible sectors, you can use our Book the Cook service in advance when travelling in premium cabins, selecting from a wider menu of main courses prepared exclusively for your flight. This allows you to tailor your dining experience before you board.

For flights between Manila and Guangzhou, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (25kg for Lite/Value fares, 30kg for Standard/Flexi), and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are: Economy Class (1 piece up to 7kg) and Business Class (2 pieces, each up to 7kg). Your final allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Manila to Guangzhou, becoming active once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi, and 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 Guangzhou sectors, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches, with up to 19 inches of seat width for comfortable regional travel. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access, giving you more room to work or rest on both flights.

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, eligible customers may be invited to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of ways to relax between your Manila and Guangzhou flights. For longer layovers, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city, usually requiring several hours of connection time and meeting specific timing conditions. For shorter stops, you can enjoy indoor gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones within the terminals. Families will find play spaces and quiet corners, while travellers looking to refresh can seek out shower facilities or transit hotels. 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, which is UTC+8 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Guangzhou also follows a UTC+8 time zone without daylight saving time. This means there is no time difference between Manila and Guangzhou at any time of the year.

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