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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy indoor gardens, art installations, quiet zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. For longer layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city. For shorter connections, staying airside gives you time to relax in comfortable seating areas or, if eligible, in our lounges. 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 customers may be able to access the Horizon Lounge before departure, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Access policies can vary, so we recommend checking your booking or contacting us in advance for the latest eligibility details.

For a single Singapore Airlines itinerary from Kathmandu to Riyadh via Singapore, we usually check your baggage through to your final destination, so you do not need to collect it during your layover. Your baggage tags and boarding passes will show the final routing; please confirm this at check-in in Kathmandu.

Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45) all year. Riyadh follows Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3:00) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Riyadh is 2 hours 45 minutes behind Kathmandu throughout the year, so remember to adjust your watch when you arrive.

For Kathmandu to Riyadh journeys via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Kathmandu Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, immigration, and security, and helps ensure a smooth start to your connecting journey.

Most passengers in transit through Singapore Changi Airport on a through-ticket and staying airside do not require a separate transit visa. However, visa requirements vary by nationality and travel plan, so we recommend checking with the relevant authorities or your nearest embassy before you travel.

On arrival in Riyadh, you will go through immigration, collect your checked baggage, and pass customs before entering the arrivals hall. Follow the signs for taxis, car hire, or other onward transport. We recommend checking local guidance in advance for entry requirements and transport options.
