For flights between Kathmandu and Chongqing, our weight concept applies. In Economy Class, Lite and Value fares include 25kg of checked baggage, while Standard and Flexi fares include 30kg. Business Class includes 40kg of checked baggage. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

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

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights 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.

The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, so we recommend planning any high-bandwidth activities for when you arrive.

On the Kathmandu to Singapore sector operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, while Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for every seat.

On the Singapore to Chongqing sector, also operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class again offers around 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch width, and Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access, giving a consistent level of comfort across both legs.

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.

Eligible customers may be able to use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge during their transit, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer 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 an official free transit tour for passengers with sufficient connection time, usually requiring at least around 5.5–6 hours between flights, allowing you to see highlights of the city before returning for your onward journey.

If you prefer to stay airside or have a shorter layover, you can enjoy themed gardens, rest zones, children’s play areas, and art installations, as well as a wide range of dining and shopping options spread across the terminals.

Some terminals feature additional facilities such as movie screenings, airport hotels, and swimming pools, giving you flexibility in how you rest or explore. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Kathmandu operates on Nepal Time, which is UTC+5:45 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Chongqing follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8:00 and also does not change seasonally. Chongqing is therefore 2 hours 15 minutes ahead of Kathmandu throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chongqing Jiangbei 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–Chongqing) 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 Chongqing 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–Chongqing 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.
