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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy gardens, rest areas, family zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. For longer layovers, you may join an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires several hours between flights. 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, eligible Singapore Airlines and Star Alliance premium passengers may be invited to relax in facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Access is determined by your departing flight from Singapore and your membership tier.

At Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers departing for Singapore may be directed to use the Premium Lounge. Access usually depends on your class of travel or frequent flyer status, and our check-in staff will confirm your eligibility and lounge details on the day of travel.

Guangzhou follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) year-round. Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45) year-round. Kathmandu is therefore 2 hours 15 minutes behind Guangzhou throughout the year, with no daylight saving time changes in either city.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and purpose of travel. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the relevant embassy or consulate, and ensuring that your travel documents meet both transit and entry requirements before your departure from Guangzhou.

For flights from Guangzhou to Kathmandu via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and immigration formalities before boarding.

When connecting in Singapore Changi Airport, follow the transfer signs to your departure gate or transfer desk. In most cases, your checked baggage will be tagged through to Kathmandu from Guangzhou. Always check your boarding passes and monitors for the latest gate information and boarding times.

Whether you can leave Singapore Changi Airport during your layover depends on your nationality, visa eligibility, and the length of your transit time. If you plan to go into the city, ensure you have sufficient time to clear immigration, travel both ways, and be back for security screening and boarding.
