Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals that can be requested before departure to suit different dietary needs and preferences. These are prepared separately and served on board alongside the main menu choices.

Book the Cook
On eligible sectors and in selected premium cabins, you can use our Book the Cook service to pre-select from a wider menu before you fly, so your preferred main course is prepared especially for you.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks is available throughout the flight, including juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and a curated range of alcoholic beverages. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board.

Yes, you can select your seat on Singapore Airlines flights from Kathmandu to Dubai, subject to availability and fare conditions. Seat selection may be complimentary or chargeable depending on your cabin class, fare type, and KrisFlyer or PPS Club status. You can manage seat choices through our website or app.

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 is long enough, you can join one of Singapore Changi Airport’s official transit tours, which typically require at least about 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. For shorter layovers, stay airside to enjoy gardens, quiet resting areas, play zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be able to access The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access entitlements are based on your onward boarding pass and membership tier.

If your Kathmandu to Dubai journey is booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will usually check your baggage through to Dubai at Kathmandu, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore. Your baggage tags and boarding passes will confirm your final destination and transfer arrangements.

Kathmandu operates on Nepal Time (UTC+5:45) all year, while Dubai uses Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4:00) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Dubai is 1 hour 45 minutes behind Kathmandu throughout the year.

On arrival in Dubai, follow the signs for immigration, baggage claim, and customs. The airport is well signposted in English, with separate queues for different passport holders. After customs, you will find clear information desks, ground transport options, and onward connection guidance if you have another flight.

We recommend arriving at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and immigration, especially during busy travel periods or if you need additional services at the airport.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend checking with the relevant embassy or immigration authority, or referring to official government travel resources, before you book and again before you fly to ensure your documents are up to date.

When travelling from Kathmandu to Dubai, stay hydrated during the journey, especially as you move between different climates. On board, stretch and walk the aisle when safe to do so. On arrival, adjust gradually to the warmer and drier conditions, and follow local guidance on outdoor activity during hot periods.
