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.

If your layover in Singapore is long enough, you can join the official transit tour that typically requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. For shorter connections, staying airside at Singapore Changi Airport gives you access to indoor gardens, rest areas, quiet zones, and a wide range 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 passengers may be able to use the Horizon Lounge before departure, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access conditions are linked to your onward Singapore Airlines flight, and staff at check-in can confirm your eligibility.

During your layover in Singapore, eligible passengers may have access to facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Lounge access is determined by the details of your departing flight from Singapore.

Kathmandu operates on Nepal Time (UTC+5:45) all year. Osaka uses Japan Standard Time (UTC+9:00) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Osaka is 3 hours 15 minutes ahead of Kathmandu throughout the year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay in Japan. We recommend checking with the nearest Japanese embassy or consulate, or your official government travel advice website, before you book your Kathmandu to Osaka journey.

We recommend arriving at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure, as you will check in for your Kathmandu to Singapore flight and your connecting sector to Osaka. This allows enough time for check-in, security, and immigration formalities.

On arrival in Osaka, you will follow signs for immigration, baggage claim, and customs. Have your passport, completed arrival documents, and accommodation details ready. After customs, you will find information counters, transport options, and signage in English to help you continue your journey into the city.

From Osaka airports, you can typically choose between train, airport bus, or taxi services into central districts such as Namba or Umeda. Journey times and options vary depending on the airport and time of day, so we recommend checking local transport information closer to your travel date.
