Flights from Kathmandu (KTM) to Chengdu (TFU)

In-flight Dining
You will be served meals on both sectors of your Kathmandu to Chengdu journey, with menus designed for the time of day and route. In Economy Class and Business Class, you can expect a balanced selection of main courses and light accompaniments.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance, helping you dine comfortably according to your needs. Please place your request when booking or via Manage Booking before you travel so we can prepare it for your flight.

Book the Cook
On selected routes and cabins, our Book the Cook service lets you choose from a curated menu before you fly, adding an extra level of personalisation to your dining experience. Check availability for your specific flights when planning your trip.

Beverage Service
Throughout the flight, you can enjoy a range of hot and cold beverages, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, adding a distinct touch to your journey.

For flights between Kathmandu and Chengdu, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class passengers may bring up to 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg. Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final allowance for your trip is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Kathmandu to Chengdu once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. Wi-Fi is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Kathmandu to Singapore and Singapore to Chengdu sectors, Economy Class seats offer a seat pitch of 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, providing good comfort for the journey. Business Class offers a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access on both aircraft types.

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.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The Next Segment Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Kathmandu but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

In Singapore, eligible passengers may use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of facilities that make layovers comfortable and engaging. For longer layovers, you can consider joining the official free city tours, which typically require at least about 5.5 to 6 hours of transit time to allow for registration, immigration, and travel time.

For shorter connections, it is best to stay airside and explore the terminals, where you will find themed gardens, quiet rest zones, children’s play areas, and curated art installations. Selected terminals also offer facilities such as swimming pools, cinemas, and transit hotels where you can rest between flights.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chengdu when flying from Kathmandu via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Kathmandu–Singapore and Singapore–Chengdu) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Chengdu is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Kathmandu–Chengdu trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.

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