# Singapore to Manila: distance, flight time and the route it really takes

Singapore Changi to Ninoy Aquino is 2,375 km of great circle — 1,476 mi — and an estimated 3h 27m in the air. Both ends are in Asia.

## What the aircraft actually flies over

From Singapore the path crosses 2,292 km of open water.

The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 14.5°N, 100% of the way along.

Holding a single compass bearing the whole way would cover almost exactly the same ground, so on this route the flat map and the globe agree.

The heading barely moves: north-east out of Singapore, north-east into Manila. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass.

One economy seat on it is about 352 kg of CO₂e each way, counting non-CO₂ warming.
