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 free official transit tour for passengers with longer layovers, generally requiring at least around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. This is a convenient way to see highlights of the city without managing your own arrangements.

For shorter layovers, it is easy to stay airside and enjoy the airports amenities, including themed gardens, rest areas, quiet zones, and family-friendly spaces. You can also explore a wide range of shops and dining options in each terminal. 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 passengers may use the Horizon Lounge at Tribhuvan International Airport, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by the conditions of your ticket and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance tier.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin class and frequent flyer status. Access is based on your onward flight from Singapore and your membership tier.

Kathmandu follows Asia/Kathmandu time, which is UTC+5:45 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Beijing follows Asia/Shanghai time, which is UTC+8:00 all year and also does not observe daylight saving time. Beijing is therefore 2 hours 15 minutes ahead of Kathmandu throughout the year.

When you fly from Kathmandu to Beijing via Singapore with us, your checked baggage is typically tagged through to Beijing, so you only need to follow the transfer signs at Singapore Changi Airport. Check your boarding passes for your onward gate, and allow time to clear security at the departure gate before boarding.

Depending on your nationality, you may need visas for China and, in some cases, for transit in Singapore. We recommend checking the latest entry and transit requirements with the relevant embassies or official government websites before you travel, as regulations can change.

We recommend arriving at Tribhuvan International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This gives you time for check-in, security checks, and immigration formalities before boarding your flight.

On arrival in Beijing, you will proceed to immigration, collect your checked baggage, and then pass through customs. Have your travel documents and completed arrival forms ready. After exiting the customs area, you can follow airport signs to ground transport or meet pre-arranged pick-up services.
