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.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed to make layovers comfortable and engaging. If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you may have time to join an official transit tour into the city, subject to availability and entry requirements. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the airport's indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and themed zones, or relaxing at an airport hotel. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Kansai International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may access facilities such as the KIX Lounge Premium and KIX Lounge Kansai before departing for Singapore, depending on cabin class or frequent flyer status. Access rules can vary, so please check your booking or ask our staff at check-in.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be invited to use lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Your boarding pass will indicate which lounge you can access.

Osaka follows Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) year-round, with no daylight saving time. Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45). Kathmandu is therefore 3 hours 15 minutes behind Osaka throughout the year, so when it is 12.00 noon in Osaka, it is 8.45am in Kathmandu.

Visa requirements for travel from Osaka to Kathmandu depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the relevant embassy or consulate, and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity before you fly.

For flights from Osaka to Kathmandu via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Kansai International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security, and immigration, especially during busy travel periods.

When you travel from Osaka to Kathmandu via Singapore, your baggage is usually checked through to Kathmandu, and you receive both boarding passes in Osaka, subject to local procedures. Follow the transit signs at Singapore Changi Airport, check the screens for your next gate, and allow time to enjoy the airport facilities between flights.

Kathmandu sits at a moderate altitude of around 1,400 metres, so most travellers adjust comfortably. Take it easy on your first day, drink water regularly, and dress in layers to adapt to cooler mornings and evenings. If you plan to travel to higher altitudes, seek local advice on preparation and pacing.
