For flights between Kathmandu and Brisbane, the weight concept applies to checked baggage. For checked baggage, Economy Class passengers may take 25kg on Lite and Value fares, or 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class passengers may take 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 baggage 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 Brisbane once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service 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 sector operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX and the Singapore to Brisbane sector operated by the Airbus A350-900, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on these services, providing generous personal space and comfort for rest.

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 be invited to use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers many options to make your layover comfortable, from themed gardens and art installations to quiet rest areas and transit hotels. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside, explore the terminals, and enjoy amenities such as relaxation zones and family-friendly spaces.

If your layover is at least 5.5 to 6 hours and your schedule permits, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city operated from the airport, subject to availability and entry requirements. This lets you see highlights of Singapore before returning for your onward flight.

Whether you choose to relax, explore the terminals, or rest between flights, facilities are clearly signed and easy to reach. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Kathmandu follows Nepal Time, which is UTC+5:45. Brisbane follows Australian Eastern Standard Time, which is UTC+10:00, and does not observe daylight saving. This means Brisbane is 4 hours 15 minutes ahead of Kathmandu for most of the year. You should always check local times close to your travel dates.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Brisbane Airport 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–Brisbane) 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 Brisbane 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–Brisbane 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.
