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.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of facilities, from themed gardens and art displays to rest areas where you can relax between flights. For longer layovers, you can consider a transit tour into the city, typically available for layovers of about 5.5 hours or more, subject to operating hours.

If you prefer to stay airside, you can explore the airport’s nature features, dine at restaurants offering regional and international flavours, or freshen up with shower facilities and quiet zones. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

You usually do not need to collect your checked baggage in Singapore during your layover, but your final baggage tag and boarding passes will confirm the details at check-in.

Chengdu follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year round. Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45). Kathmandu is 2 hours 15 minutes behind Chengdu throughout the year, as neither location observes daylight saving time.

Visa and entry requirements depend on your nationality and travel purpose. We recommend that you check the latest information with the relevant embassies or official government websites before your trip, and ensure your passport has sufficient validity for your stay in Nepal.

When you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, follow the signs for immigration and baggage claim. After clearing formalities and collecting your checked baggage, you will enter the arrivals area, where you can find transport options and information desks. Allow extra time for queues and document checks.

For international flights from Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, we recommend arriving at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, immigration, and reaching your departure gate comfortably.
