Non-members and additional users 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.

Your journey from Kathmandu to the United States of America connects through Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside to enjoy gardens, rest areas, shower facilities, and varied shopping and dining. For longer transits that meet the requirements, you may join one of Changi’s free transit tours into the city to see highlights before returning for your onward flight. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Kathmandu (Nepal Time, UTC+5:45) is typically 12 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco (Pacific Time, UTC−8) and 10 hours and 45 minutes ahead of New York (Eastern Time, UTC−5). During US daylight saving time, usually from March to early November, the difference reduces by one hour, making Kathmandu 11 hours and 45 minutes ahead of Pacific Time and 9 hours and 45 minutes ahead of Eastern Time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in the United States of America 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 the United States of America, 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.
