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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy calm indoor gardens, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining options without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, the airport offers city tours that showcase highlights of Singapore. For shorter connections, you might use nap zones, playgrounds, and relaxation corners to freshen up between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG), eligible Singapore Airlines customers may use the International First and Business Class Lounge before departure. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers can access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status.

For most through-ticketed itineraries from Chongqing to Kathmandu on Singapore Airlines, we check your baggage through to Kathmandu at Chongqing, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore. You should still confirm your baggage tag and final destination at check-in, especially if you have separate tickets or partner flights.

Chongqing follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45), also without daylight saving. Kathmandu is 2 hours 15 minutes behind Chongqing throughout the year, so when it is 12.00pm in Chongqing, it is 9.45am in Kathmandu.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and travel history. We recommend checking with the relevant embassies, consulates, or official immigration websites for the latest entry rules for Nepal and any transit requirements in Singapore before you travel from Chongqing.

For international flights from Chongqing to Kathmandu via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and immigration formalities before boarding your Singapore Airlines flight.

Tribhuvan International Airport is relatively close to central Kathmandu. When you arrive, you can choose between official taxis, pre-arranged hotel transfers, or other local transport options. It is best to confirm current transport choices and travel times on arrival or with your accommodation in advance.

Kathmandu itself sits at a moderate altitude, and most travellers adjust comfortably. However, if you plan to continue to higher-altitude areas, you should research appropriate preparation and acclimatisation. We also suggest checking recommended vaccinations and health advice with a medical professional before your trip.
