Some city pairs use wide-body aircraft with a full range of cabins, while others use aircraft configured with Economy Class and Business Class only, so cabin options may vary depending on your departure city and chosen flight.

On routes between China and Nepal, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch, with up to 19-inch seat width for comfort on longer journeys.

Most journeys from China to Nepal connect through Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), which offers a wide range of ways to spend your time between flights. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and explore themed gardens, rest areas, children’s play zones, and extensive shopping and dining. For longer connections that meet the eligibility criteria, you may be able to join an official transit tour of Singapore, allowing you to see highlights of the city before returning to the airport. Airport hotels, nap spaces, and showers are also available if you prefer to rest and refresh. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

China operates on a single time zone, China Standard Time (UTC+8), for cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Hangzhou. Nepal, including Kathmandu, uses Nepal Time (UTC+5:45). This means Nepal is 2 hours 15 minutes behind China throughout the year, as neither country observes daylight saving time, so the time difference does not change seasonally.

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