Flights from Hangzhou (HGH) to Kathmandu (KTM)

In-flight Dining
On both sectors between Hangzhou and Kathmandu via Singapore, you will be served meals tailored to the time of day and flight duration, with a selection of regional and international dishes in Economy Class and enhanced choices in Business Class.

Special Meals
We offer a variety of special meals that cater to different dietary needs and preferences. These should be requested in advance through Manage Booking or with your travel agent, so we can prepare them for your specific flights between Hangzhou, Singapore, and Kathmandu.

Book the Cook
On eligible sectors and in participating cabins, you can pre-select gourmet main courses through our Book the Cook service. This allows you to confirm your preferred dish before departure, adding extra assurance to your dining experience on this route.

Beverage Service
Throughout your journey, you can enjoy a range of hot and cold beverages, including juices, soft drinks, and hot drinks. A signature Singapore Sling is available on board, alongside a curated list of other alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.

For flights between Hangzhou and Kathmandu, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (Lite and Value fares: 25kg; Standard and Flexi: 30kg) and Business Class (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 allowance will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, with Economy Class members needing to 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 does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Hangzhou–Singapore and Singapore–Kathmandu sectors, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable space to stretch your legs. Business Class features a fully flat bed with generous width and direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900, and a lie-flat or deeply reclining seat with ample personal space and easy aisle access on the Boeing 737-8 MAX.

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.

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 Hangzhou but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible passengers may be invited to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore (SIN).

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities for both short and longer layovers, including themed gardens, quiet seating areas, and family-friendly spaces. For longer connections, you can consider joining one of the official free city tours, which generally require a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours, subject to operating conditions.

If you prefer to stay airside, explore the terminal gardens, viewing decks, or rest areas, or simply enjoy a relaxed meal between flights. Airport hotels and nap facilities are also available if you would like to freshen up or sleep.

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

Hangzhou follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Kathmandu follows Nepal Time, which is UTC+5:45 year-round. Kathmandu is therefore 2 hours 15 minutes behind Hangzhou at all times of the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu when flying from Hangzhou 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 (Hangzhou–Singapore and Singapore–Kathmandu) 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 Kathmandu 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 Hangzhou–Kathmandu 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.
