Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at Singapore Changi Airport on connections from Australia to Kathmandu. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport.

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy indoor gardens, rest zones, showers, and a wide choice of shops and dining, along with play areas and art installations.

Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Kathmandu operates on Nepal Time (UTC+5:45). Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane are typically 4h 15m ahead of Kathmandu during Australian Eastern Standard Time, and 5h 15m ahead when daylight saving time applies in some states (usually October to early April). Adelaide is normally 4h 30m ahead and 5h 30m ahead during daylight saving. Cairns shares Brisbane's offset. Perth is generally 2h 30m ahead of Kathmandu. Darwin is usually 3h 15m ahead. Always check close to your travel dates, as Australian daylight saving changes affect the difference.
