Flights from Kathmandu (KTM) to Hangzhou (HGH)

In-flight Dining
You will be served meals in both Economy Class and Business Class on the Kathmandu–Singapore and Singapore–Hangzhou sectors, with menus designed to suit the length and timing of each flight.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals that cater to specific dietary requirements. These should be requested in advance through your booking so that we can prepare them for your flight.

Book the Cook
On selected routes and cabins, our Book the Cook service allows you to choose from a wider selection of main courses before you fly. You can view and reserve these options in Manage Booking where available for your itinerary.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks is available throughout the flight, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, adding a distinctive touch to your journey.

For flights between Kathmandu and Hangzhou, our baggage policy follows the weight concept. In Economy Class, the checked baggage allowance is 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. In Business Class, the checked baggage allowance is 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final baggage allowance for your trip will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans on board. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Kathmandu–Singapore Boeing 737-8 MAX sector and the Singapore–Hangzhou Airbus A350-900 sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width for comfortable personal space. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on both sectors, giving you ample room to relax and rest.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be able to use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Kathmandu but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of ways to relax and refresh during your layover, from indoor gardens and art installations to quiet rest areas and children’s play zones. If you have more time, you can explore additional attractions such as viewing decks, relaxation spaces, and a variety of dining options.

For longer connections, you may consider joining an official transit tour if timings and eligibility suit your schedule, or booking a room at an airport hotel or nap facility for extra rest. Shorter layovers are easily filled with a walk through the terminals, a meal, and time to stretch before your onward flight.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45), while Hangzhou follows China Standard Time (UTC+8:00) and does not observe daylight saving time. Hangzhou is 2 hours 15 minutes ahead of Kathmandu throughout the year, so when it is 12.00 noon in Kathmandu, it is 14.15 in Hangzhou.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport when flying from Kathmandu via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Kathmandu–Singapore and Singapore–Hangzhou) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Hangzhou is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Kathmandu–Hangzhou trip, 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.
