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 choose from themed gardens, quiet rest areas, play zones, and a variety of dining and shopping options within the terminals. For longer layovers, you may join an official transit tour into the city, provided you meet the minimum connection time and entry requirements. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it s an integral part of your journey.

In Kathmandu, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may use partner lounge facilities such as the Horizon Lounge before departure, subject to their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Lounge access offers a quieter space to relax, refresh, or work ahead of your flight to Singapore.

You will arrive and depart through Singapore Changi Airport, which is well signposted with clear transfer counters and flight information screens. Follow the transit signs, check your onward gate on arrival, and allow time to explore facilities such as gardens, rest areas, and dining before boarding your next flight.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay in Chengdu, and whether you plan to enter Singapore during your layover. We recommend checking with the relevant embassies or official government websites before you travel, as entry regulations can change.

We recommend arriving at Kathmandu airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security, and immigration, as well as a relaxed walk to your gate or a short rest in the departure area before boarding.
