Flights from Kathmandu (KTM) to Adelaide (ADL)

In-flight Dining
On the Kathmandu to Adelaide route via Singapore, you will be served meals appropriate to the time of day in both Business Class and Economy Class, with menus reflecting regional and international flavours.

Special Meals
We offer a variety of special meals that can be requested in advance to suit different dietary preferences or medical needs. These should be ordered when you book or via Manage Booking before your departure.

Book the Cook
Eligible Business Class customers on selected sectors of this journey can use our Book the Cook service to pre-select from a wider range of main courses, helping you personalise your dining experience in advance.

Beverage Service
Throughout the flight, a selection of hot and cold drinks is available, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also offered on board, allowing you to enjoy a classic drink in the sky.

For flights between Kathmandu and Adelaide, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are as follows: Economy Class customers may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class customers may check up to 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 final allowance will be 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 Adelaide once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, although Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can choose from paid 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 and Singapore to Adelaide sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the journey. Business Class offers a fully flat bed on both aircraft types, with every seat designed for spacious personal comfort and good access to the aisle.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

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.

Singapore Changi Airport is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For connections of 5.5 hours or more, you can consider joining an official transit city tour, which shows key sights without needing to clear immigration independently. For shorter layovers, it is more convenient to stay airside and enjoy airport amenities.

Across the terminals you will find indoor gardens, quiet zones, rest areas, and a wide range of dining options. Depending on your terminal, there may also be facilities such as swimming pools, movie zones, and children’s play areas to help you refresh between flights.

Follow the transit signs to your next departure gate and allow time for security screening where required. 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. Adelaide follows Australian Central Standard Time (UTC+9:30) from roughly April to early October, and Australian Central Daylight Time (UTC+10:30) from early October to early April. Adelaide is typically 3h 45m or 4h 45m ahead of Kathmandu, depending on the time of year.

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