In-flight Dining
You will be served meals on both sectors of your journey, with menus tailored to the flight time and region, whether you are travelling in Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, or Business Class.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals to meet different dietary needs. You can request these when you book your ticket or via Manage Booking, and they should be ordered at least 24 hours before departure.

Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in premium cabins on selected sectors can pre-order main courses from our Book the Cook service, giving you more choice and allowing us to prepare your preferred dish in advance.

A selection of hot and cold beverages, including juices and soft drinks, is available throughout the flight. Our signature Singapore Sling is also served on board, so you can enjoy a classic taste of Singapore during your journey.

For flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Kathmandu, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (25kg for Lite and Value fares, 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares), Premium Economy Class (35kg), and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are: Economy Class and Premium Economy Class (1 piece up to 7kg), and Business Class (2 pieces, each up to 7kg). Your final baggage allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft on this route 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 Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Ho Chi Minh City to Singapore sector, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of around 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, while Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access. On selected Airbus A350-900 flights, Premium Economy Class offers a 38-inch seat pitch and up to 20 inches of width.

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.

You may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport, depending on your eligibility.

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 Ho Chi Minh City but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide choice of ways to spend your layover, from indoor gardens and art installations to quiet rest areas and airport hotels. For shorter connections, you can enjoy the terminals' walking trails, play zones, and viewing galleries without leaving the transit area.

If you have a longer layover, you may join one of the airport's official transit tours into the city, which typically require at least 5.5 to 6 hours of connection time. These guided tours let you see key sights before returning in time for your next flight.

Whether you stay airside or head into the city, it is easy to find places to relax, dine, or freshen up before your onward journey. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Ho Chi Minh City follows Indochina Time (UTC+7) and does not observe daylight saving time. Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45), also without daylight saving time. Kathmandu is 1 hour 15 minutes behind Ho Chi Minh City throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu when flying from Ho Chi Minh City 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 (Ho Chi Minh City–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 Ho Chi Minh City–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.
