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.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of facilities, from themed gardens and art installations to rest areas and airport hotels, making it easy to relax between your flights from Dubai and Kathmandu. If you have a longer layover of at least around 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining an official transit tour of Singapore, which allows you to see highlights of the city before returning in time for your onward flight. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the airport's dining and shopping, or unwinding in quiet zones. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Dubai International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers departing for Kathmandu via Singapore can access selected partner lounges, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge eligibility is determined by your departing flight from Dubai and your membership tier.

For a single ticket itinerary from Dubai to Kathmandu with Singapore Airlines, we usually check your baggage through to your final destination, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore. Your baggage tags and boarding passes at check-in will confirm the final routing.

Dubai operates on Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4) year-round with no daylight saving. Kathmandu operates on Nepal Time (UTC+5:45), also without daylight saving. Kathmandu is therefore 1 hour 45 minutes ahead of Dubai throughout the year.

Visa requirements for travel from Dubai to Kathmandu depend on your nationality and passport type. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the relevant authorities or your local consulate before you travel.

For flights from Dubai to Kathmandu via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Dubai International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This gives you time to check in, clear security, and move comfortably to the boarding gate.

When connecting in Singapore from Dubai to Kathmandu, you will follow signs for transit and proceed to your next departure gate. If your boarding passes are issued in Dubai and your baggage is checked through, you can remain airside for the duration of your layover.

Kathmandu serves as the main gateway to other destinations across Nepal. After arrival, you can connect to domestic flights or ground transport arranged with local providers. We recommend planning and booking any onward journeys in advance where possible.
