In-flight Dining
On Kathmandu to Manchester journeys, you will be served meals and refreshments suited to each sector, with regional flavours and international favourites available in all cabins.

Special Meals
We offer a selection of special meals, which you can request in advance through your booking, so we can better cater to your dietary preferences or needs.

Book the Cook
Eligible travellers in premium cabins on selected sectors can pre-order from our Book the Cook service, choosing from a wider range of main courses prepared specially for your flight.

Beverage Service
A range of hot and cold drinks is available throughout the flight, including juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and a curated selection of alcoholic beverages. Our signature Singapore Sling is available on board for you to enjoy.

For flights between Kathmandu and Manchester, our baggage policy follows the weight concept. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (Lite and Value fares: 25kg; Standard and Flexi fares: 30kg), Premium Economy Class (35kg), and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class customers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Kathmandu to Manchester once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service supports messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Kathmandu to Singapore sector operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class seats offer a pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, while Business Class converts into a fully flat bed with direct aisle access.

On the Singapore to Manchester sector operated by the Airbus A350-900, Economy Class offers a 32-inch pitch with up to 19 inches of seat width, Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch with up to 20 inches of seat width, and Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for every seat.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be invited to lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

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 Kathmandu but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable layovers, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, art installations, and play zones for families. For shorter connections, you can relax in seating zones, freshen up in restrooms and shower facilities, or enjoy the many dining outlets.

If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights and meet entry requirements, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city or explore Singapore independently, returning in good time for your onward flight. Alternatively, airport hotels and pay-per-use lounges offer more private spaces for rest.

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

Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45) all year. Manchester follows Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) roughly from late October to late March, and British Summer Time (UTC+1) from late March to late October. This means Manchester is typically 5 hours 45 minutes or 4 hours 45 minutes behind Kathmandu, depending on the month.

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