Flights from Colombo (CMB) to Manchester (MAN)

In-flight Dining
On the Colombo to Singapore and Singapore to Manchester sectors, you will be served meals tailored to the time of day, with thoughtfully designed menus in every cabin to keep you comfortable throughout your journey.

Special Meals
We offer a variety of special meals that can be requested in advance to suit different dietary needs and preferences. Make your selection when you book or via Manage Booking before your flight.

Book the Cook
On eligible cabins and routes, you can use our Book the Cook service to pre-select from a wider range of main courses, giving you more control over your dining experience before you board.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices and soft drinks, is available throughout the flight, along with a curated choice of wines and spirits. Our signature Singapore Sling is also served on board.

For flights between Colombo and Manchester, 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. Premium Economy Class passengers may check 35kg, and Business Class passengers may check 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg. Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final allowance for your trip 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 on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans on board. 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 Colombo to Singapore and Singapore to Manchester sectors, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of around 32 inches, with up to 19 inches of seat width, designed for comfort on longer journeys.

On the Singapore to Manchester sector, Premium Economy Class provides a roomier experience, with a 38-inch seat pitch and up to 20 inches of seat width, along with enhanced recline and leg support.

Business Class is available on both sectors and features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access from every seat, allowing you to rest properly and arrive feeling more refreshed.

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. Eligible customers 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 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 Colombo but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy one of the world’s most comfortable transit experiences. For longer layovers, you may join the airport’s free city tour programme, which typically requires at least about 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, letting you see highlights of Singapore before returning to the terminal.

For shorter connections, stay airside and explore Changi Airport’s attractions, including indoor gardens, art installations, rest areas, and family-friendly spaces. Depending on the terminal, you may also find facilities such as a swimming pool, entertainment zones, and transit hotels for added comfort.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Colombo follows Sri Lanka Standard Time, which is UTC+5:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. Manchester follows UK time, which is Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) from late October to late March, and British Summer Time (UTC+1) from late March to late October. This means Colombo is typically 5.5 hours ahead of Manchester in winter, and 4.5 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Manchester Airport when flying from Colombo 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 (Colombo–Singapore and Singapore–Manchester) 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 Manchester 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 Colombo–Manchester 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.
