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 customers may be invited to use facilities such as The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be spent joining the official transit tour into the city, which typically requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. For shorter connections, you can enjoy the airports indoor gardens, rest areas, play zones, and quiet spots for relaxation without leaving the terminal. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In most cases, when you travel from Kathmandu to Tokyo on a single Singapore Airlines booking, we will check your checked baggage through from Kathmandu to your final destination in Tokyo, even though you are connecting in Singapore. You will receive baggage tags showing Tokyo as the final point; always confirm this at check-in.

Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45), while Tokyo uses Japan Standard Time (UTC+9:00) year-round. This means Tokyo is 3 hours 15 minutes ahead of Kathmandu in all months, as neither location observes daylight saving time.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay in Japan. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the Japanese embassy or consulate and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity before you travel from Kathmandu.

For your Singapore Airlines flight from Kathmandu to Tokyo via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Tribhuvan International Airport at least 3 hours before the scheduled departure time. This gives enough time for check-in, security checks, and any exit formalities.

Both Narita and Haneda airports offer rail, bus, and taxi connections into central Tokyo, with clear signage in English. The most suitable option depends on your arrival time and destination in the city, so we recommend checking current transport information and maps when planning your trip.

Tokyo offers reliable mobile coverage and extensive public Wi-Fi in many stations, cafés, and public facilities. Most hotels, major shops, and transport providers accept electronic payments, but smaller outlets may prefer local methods, so it is wise to have more than one way to pay and to check locally for the latest guidance.
