Two questions:
* Would Philippine Airlines allow baggage to be checked in to the SQ flight?
* Assuming the above works, would there be sufficient time with a taxi to transfer to the SQ flight or do I plan to spend a night in Manila (1850 is the last SQ flight out)?
Thoughts appreciated; thanks.
To answer your questions:
*PAL does not do interline baggage tagging if the two flights are on two separate itineraries. If that is the case, you will have to claim your bags in MNL before proceeding to NAIA-1 to check in for your SQ flight. I'm not sure though if that is case should the two flights be on one itinerary under a single PNR, so it would be advised to ask.
*There's sufficient time to get to NAIA-1, definitely (you're actually better off riding a public bus, since buses stop just right outside NAIA-1). But with this sort of connection, definitely not.
My advice for you is either to board an earlier TAG-MNL flight, or spend the night in Manila before boarding the next SQ flight the next day. Or, fly PAL to SIN, where your bags can be checked through to SIN when you check in at TAG.
