On the Kathmandu–Singapore and Singapore–Chongqing sectors operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width for comfortable legroom on these medium-haul flights. Business Class features seats that convert to a fully flat bed, providing generous space to stretch out and rest.

On the Kathmandu to Chongqing route via Singapore, our Boeing 737-8 MAX services offer two cabin choices: Economy Class and Business Class. Both sectors, Kathmandu–Singapore and Singapore–Chongqing, are operated with the same aircraft type and cabin configuration, allowing a consistent experience throughout your journey.

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 at Singapore Changi Airport is at least 5.5 hours, you can consider joining an official transit tour to see highlights of the city without managing logistics yourself. For shorter connections, stay airside and explore the airport’s attractions, such as indoor gardens, art installations, rest areas, and family-friendly spaces. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Kathmandu, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may use the Horizon Lounge at Kathmandu airport, depending on cabin class or frequent flyer status. At Singapore, eligible passengers can access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, according to their entitlement.
