On eligible sectors operated by Singapore Airlines, you can use our Book the Cook service when travelling in premium cabins, pre-selecting from an extended menu in advance. Availability depends on your class of travel and departure point.

A selection of hot and cold drinks is served throughout your journey, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, so you can enjoy a classic cocktail while you travel.

This gives you room to stretch out and relax.

At Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, eligible customers may relax in the Horizon Lounge before departure. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible travellers can access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status. In Johannesburg, eligible customers may use the South African Airways The Lounge (Premium) before continuing to Cape Town.

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy indoor gardens, themed zones, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. With a layover of at least 5.5 hours, you may join one of the official free transit tours into the city, subject to availability and entry requirements. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the airport's amenities or resting in quiet zones. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait – it is an integral part of your journey.

At O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, it is usually most comfortable to stay airside during your layover. You can make use of lounges if eligible, relax at cafés and restaurants, visit duty-free shops, or book a room at an airport hotel if you have a longer connection. Your time at O.R. Tambo International Airport is more than just a wait – it is an integral part of your journey.

Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45) all year round. Cape Town follows South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Cape Town is 3 hours 45 minutes behind Kathmandu throughout the year.

From Kathmandu, you will depart from Tribhuvan International Airport. In Singapore, you will transfer between terminals at Singapore Changi Airport according to your boarding pass and wayfinding signs. In Johannesburg, you will connect through O.R. Tambo International Airport before continuing to Cape Town International Airport, following transit signage between gates.

We recommend arriving at Tribhuvan International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time for flights to Cape Town. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and immigration formalities before you proceed to the gate for boarding.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, itinerary, and the conditions for transiting or entering Singapore and South Africa. We recommend checking the latest entry and transit rules with the relevant embassies or official government websites, and confirming any visa needs with your travel agent before you fly.
