Yes, you are served complimentary meals on flights from Kochi to the Philippines. In-flight dining features regionally inspired and international dishes, served with a choice of bread, dessert, and refreshments. You can request special meals in advance to suit many dietary needs.

On selected flights and in eligible cabins, you may also be able to pre-select from an expanded menu through our Book the Cook service, subject to route and aircraft. A beverage service includes juices, soft drinks, teas, coffees, and a range of alcoholic drinks.

Flights between India and the Philippines generally follow the weight concept for checked baggage. For Economy Class, the typical allowance is 25–30 kg of checked baggage. For Business Class, the allowance is higher, often around 40 kg. All customers may also bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits.

Exact allowances depend on your route, fare type, and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, and will be shown during booking and on your e-ticket. We recommend checking your ticket details before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft once the flight is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

Non-members and additional devices can use paid Wi-Fi plans purchased on board, subject to availability on your aircraft. Connectivity is generally suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but not for video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Availability and performance may vary by aircraft type and route, and connectivity can be affected by regulatory restrictions on certain flight sectors.

On flights from Kochi to the Philippines via Singapore, you can choose between Business Class and Economy Class. Both the Kochi–Singapore and Singapore–Philippines sectors typically offer these two cabin classes.

Specific seating layouts and amenities may vary slightly between the Boeing 737-8 MAX and Airbus A350-900 aircraft operated on these routes.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of around 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable legroom for regional flights. Seats are ergonomically designed with adjustable headrests.

In Business Class, you enjoy a fully flat bed on applicable aircraft or a deeply reclining seat with generous pitch and width, along with ample personal space and direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900. Seat designs may differ slightly between aircraft types, but all focus on comfort and privacy.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to the Philippines. 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 Kochi to the Philippines connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers gardens, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside, explore a themed garden, or relax in a quiet zone.

On longer stops, you might visit a pay-per-use lounge, catch a quick rest in an airport hotel, or enjoy attractions such as the indoor waterfall and rooftop pool, depending on your terminal. Transit counters and information desks can guide you to the best options for your available time.

Whether your layover is brief or extended, you will find many ways to refresh and recharge, so your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Kochi follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Manila and Cebu both follow Philippine Time (UTC+8:00). This means the Philippines is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Kochi throughout the year, as neither location observes daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in the Philippines 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 the Philippines, 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.
