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 themed gardens, rest areas, and a wide selection of dining and shopping without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers, official transit programmes may allow you to join city experiences if you meet the minimum connection time.

Shorter connections are comfortable spent airside, where you will find quiet zones, children’s play areas, and in-terminal attractions that showcase Singapore’s greenery and design. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport on this route, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may use the SilverKris Lounge before their flight. Lounge access depends on your cabin class and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, as shown on your boarding pass.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may access Singapore Airlines facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Your boarding pass will indicate which lounge you can use.

Manila follows Asia/Manila time, which is UTC+8 all year. Kathmandu follows Asia/Kathmandu time, which is UTC+5:45 all year. This means Kathmandu is 2 hours 15 minutes behind Manila throughout the year, with no daylight saving changes in either city.

From Manila, you will connect via Singapore and arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. All Singapore Airlines one-stop services on this route use this airport, which is the main international gateway for the Kathmandu Valley and many onward journeys in Nepal.

We recommend arriving at Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This gives you enough time for check-in, security, immigration, and reaching your boarding gate before your onward connection to Kathmandu.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose of your visit. We recommend checking the latest information with the Nepalese authorities or your nearest consulate before you travel, and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity for your stay in Nepal.

When you connect in Singapore, your checked baggage is usually tagged through to Kathmandu, so you only need to follow transit signs and check the screens for your next gate. Singapore Changi Airport has clear signage, helpful staff, and information counters if you need assistance.
