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 gardens, quiet zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping options without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers, you may be able to join an official transit or city experience arranged from the airport, subject to eligibility and minimum connection times. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring terminal features such as themed gardens, rest areas, and children-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 Hong Kong International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class) or SilverKris Lounge (Business Class). Eligibility depends on your cabin class, KrisFlyer membership tier, and Star Alliance status, and is confirmed on your boarding pass at the airport.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be invited to The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and membership status. Our staff at check-in and transit desks will guide you to the appropriate lounge.

Hong Kong follows Hong Kong Time (UTC+8) all year round. Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45). Kathmandu is 2 hours 15 minutes behind Hong Kong throughout the year, as neither location observes daylight saving time.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and travel purpose. We recommend that you check the latest entry regulations with the relevant embassy or consulate, and ensure your passport, visas, and travel documents are in order before your flight from Hong Kong to Kathmandu.

On arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, you will proceed through immigration, baggage collection, and customs. Allow extra time for queues, and keep your passport, arrival forms, and accommodation details easily accessible. Transport options into the city are available just outside the terminal; check locally for the latest information.

Pack layers to adapt to changing temperatures between Hong Kong, air-conditioned aircraft cabins, and Kathmandu, where mornings and evenings can feel cooler. Comfortable walking shoes are useful for uneven streets and light hikes. For trekking or longer outdoor activities, consider specialised gear, and check local weather forecasts before you travel.

For flights from Hong Kong to Kathmandu via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Hong Kong International Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before departure. This allows time for check-in, security, and immigration formalities, and gives you a more relaxed start to your journey.
