For Business Class and Economy Class, standard checked baggage allowances apply, with higher allowances in Business Class. Cabin baggage allowances also vary by cabin, with Business Class guests permitted an additional piece compared to Economy Class. You can find the exact baggage allowances for your ticket type during booking or in your booking confirmation.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Kathmandu to the Philippines once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional users can choose from paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On flights from Kathmandu to the Philippines, Singapore Airlines offers Business Class and Economy Class. Between Kathmandu and Singapore, services are operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX with both cabins. To Manila, the onward sector on the Airbus A350-900 also features Business Class and Economy Class, while flights to Cebu continue on the Boeing 737-8 MAX with the same two-cabin configuration.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of around 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, designed for comfort on medium-haul journeys. In Business Class, seats convert into fully flat beds, giving you space to rest and sleep, with direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900 and a spacious layout on the Boeing 737-8 MAX. Specific configurations may vary slightly between aircraft types on the Kathmandu–Singapore and Singapore–Philippines sectors.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Philippines. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Most journeys from Kathmandu to the Philippines connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, you can consider joining one of the airport's free transit tours into the city, subject to timing and eligibility. For shorter layovers, stay airside to enjoy Changi's indoor gardens, art installations, butterfly garden, swimming pool, relaxation zones, and wide selection of dining and shopping. Airport hotels and nap facilities are also available if you want to rest between flights. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Kathmandu (Nepal Time, UTC+5:45) is typically 2 hours and 15 minutes behind Manila and Cebu, which follow Philippine Time (UTC+8:00). The Philippines does not observe daylight saving time, so this time difference remains the same throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Philippines 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 Philippines, 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.
