Flights from Auckland (AKL) to Nepal

Yes, meals are served on Singapore Airlines flights from Auckland to Nepal. In-flight dining features multi-course meals inspired by international and regional flavours, tailored to your cabin class and flight length. You can request special meals in advance to suit many medical, vegetarian, or other dietary preferences on eligible flights.

On selected sectors and cabins, Book the Cook allows you to pre-select a main course from a wider menu before you fly, subject to route and aircraft. This lets you personalise your dining experience when travelling in premium cabins.

A full beverage service is available, including juices, soft drinks, coffee, tea, and a curated list of wines and spirits. You can also enjoy the signature Singapore Sling on board selected flights, adding a distinctive touch to your journey.

Flights between New Zealand and Nepal generally use the piece concept for checked baggage. In Business Class, you can usually check two pieces with a generous weight allowance per piece. In Premium Economy Class and Economy Class, you can typically check at least one or two pieces, depending on your fare type and KrisFlyer status.

Cabin baggage allowances apply across all cabins. Business Class guests are usually permitted two pieces of cabin baggage within size and weight limits, while Premium Economy Class and Economy Class guests are generally allowed one piece. We recommend checking your e-ticket or our website, as exact allowances depend on your booking and frequent flyer status.

If you are not a KrisFlyer member or prefer not to register, you can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board, subject to availability on your aircraft. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing.

High-bandwidth activities such as video streaming, video calls, and large file transfers are not supported, helping to keep the experience stable for everyone on board.

Most journeys from Auckland to Nepal connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers a wide range of ways to relax between flights. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy themed gardens, art installations, rest areas, and showers, or simply stretch your legs along quiet walking routes.

If your layover is longer, you may explore additional facilities such as swimming pools, entertainment zones, or paid lounges and transit hotels within the terminal complex. Information desks can help you choose activities that match your available time.

For very long daytime layovers, you can consider joining an official transit tour when operational and if your schedule allows, letting you briefly experience highlights of Singapore. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Kathmandu operates on Nepal Time (UTC+5:45), while Auckland uses New Zealand Time.

From late September to early April, during New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13), Kathmandu is 7 hours 15 minutes behind. There is no daylight saving time in Nepal.

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.
