Flights from Kathmandu (KTM) to Guangzhou (CAN)

In-flight Dining
On Kathmandu–Singapore and Singapore–Guangzhou sectors, you will be served meals appropriate to the time of day, with menus designed to offer a mix of regional and international flavours in both Business Class and Economy Class.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals to cater to different dietary requirements on this route. You can request these in advance through our website or your booking agent, and we recommend making your selection at least 48 hours before departure.

Book the Cook
Eligible Business Class customers can use our Book the Cook service on selected sectors to pre-order from a curated menu of main dishes. This allows you to secure your preferred choice ahead of your flight and personalise your dining experience.

Beverage Service
Throughout the journey, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, offering a distinctive taste of Singapore during your flight.

For Kathmandu–Guangzhou journeys, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class travellers may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class travellers may check 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your exact baggage allowance 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 once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi, and 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 connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, so we recommend planning any data-heavy tasks before or after your flight.

On the Kathmandu–Singapore sector operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of around 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, while Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for every seat.

On the Singapore–Guangzhou sector operated by the Boeing 787-10, Economy Class similarly offers a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, and Business Class features a fully flat bed at each seat with direct aisle access, giving you space to relax or work comfortably.

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.

If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours in Singapore, you may be able to join a free transit tour into the city, giving you a taste of its skyline, waterfront, and key landmarks. Details and eligibility are available at Singapore Changi Airport transit counters.

For shorter layovers, staying airside offers plenty of ways to relax, including themed gardens, quiet resting areas, entertainment zones, and children-friendly play spaces. You can also visit airport attractions or freshen up with shower facilities and transit hotels in selected terminals.

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 all year round. Guangzhou follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8:00 and does not observe daylight saving time. Guangzhou is therefore 2 hours 15 minutes ahead of Kathmandu throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Guangzhou Baiyun International 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–Guangzhou) 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 Guangzhou 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–Guangzhou 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.
