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, longer layovers can be used to join an official transit or city tour, which typically requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours of transit time. These tours allow you to see highlights of the city before returning comfortably to the airport.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable, with themed gardens, rest zones, quiet seating areas, family facilities, and a wide range of shops and dining outlets. Airport hotels and nap facilities are also available if you prefer to rest in privacy.

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

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Access is determined by your departing flight from Singapore and the applicable lounge policy on the day.

If your Riyadh to Kathmandu journey is booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will usually check your checked baggage through to Kathmandu, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore. You can confirm through-check arrangements with our team at check-in in Riyadh.

Riyadh follows Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) and does not observe daylight saving time. Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45), also without daylight saving time. Kathmandu is therefore 2 hours 45 minutes ahead of Riyadh all year round.

Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu is compact and can be busy at peak times. On arrival, follow signs to immigration, then baggage reclaim and customs. It is helpful to keep your passport, completed arrival form, and accommodation details easily accessible for a smooth arrival process.

For your Singapore Airlines flight from Riyadh to Kathmandu via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and getting to your departure gate without rush.

Many passengers do not need a transit visa if they remain airside at Singapore Changi Airport, but entry and transit rules vary by nationality. We recommend checking the latest requirements with the relevant authorities or your local Singapore mission before you travel.

Kathmandu city centre is a short drive from Tribhuvan International Airport. Transport options include pre-arranged hotel pick-ups and ground transport services available outside the terminal. It is best to confirm the latest options and travel times with your hotel or a trusted local provider before you arrive.
