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 make the most of the airport's extensive facilities. For longer connections, consider joining the official Free Singapore Tour, which typically requires at least a 5.5-hour layover and lets you see key city highlights. For shorter layovers, stay airside to enjoy gardens, rest zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

At Kathmandu airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be able to use the Horizon Lounge before their departure to Singapore. Lounge access depends on your cabin class, KrisFlyer membership tier, or Star Alliance status, and the conditions of the lounge operator on the day.

Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45), while Colombo follows Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30). This means Colombo is 15 minutes behind Kathmandu throughout the year, as neither city observes daylight saving time.

When you arrive in Colombo from Kathmandu, you will disembark at Bandaranaike International Airport. After immigration and baggage collection, you can choose from taxis, pre-arranged transfers, or public transport options to reach the city. It is best to check local guidance for current transport and travel information before you fly.

Our Kathmandu to Colombo itineraries are ticketed with a protected connection at Singapore Changi Airport, giving you enough time to transfer between gates. If you prefer a longer stopover to explore the airport or rest, you can select an option with a longer layover when booking, subject to availability.

When you travel from Kathmandu to Colombo on a single Singapore Airlines ticket via Singapore, we usually check your baggage through to Colombo. You should confirm this at check-in in Kathmandu and keep your baggage tags until you complete your journey.
