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.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be able to access 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 the departing flight from Singapore and your membership tier.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy a range of facilities including themed gardens, rest areas, children’s play zones, and numerous dining options. For longer layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city if available during your travel period. 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 passengers may relax in the Horizon Lounge before departure. Lounge access depends on your cabin class, KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, and the conditions of your ticket.

Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45) and does not observe daylight saving time. Kolkata follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), also without daylight saving. Kolkata is 15 minutes behind Kathmandu throughout the year, so you only need to adjust your watch slightly when you arrive.

On arrival in Kolkata, you will follow signs for immigration, baggage reclaim, and customs. Have your travel documents and arrival details ready, and keep your checked baggage tags accessible. After customs, you will find airport transport options and information desks to help you continue your journey into the city.

We recommend arriving at Kathmandu Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time, as you will be checking in for an international flight that connects via Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and border formalities before boarding.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, the purpose of your visit to India, and whether you plan to enter Singapore during your layover. We advise checking with the relevant embassies or official government websites before you travel, and ensuring your passport and documents meet all entry conditions.
