On the Rome to Singapore sector operated by the Airbus A350-900, Economy Class offers a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, while Premium Economy Class offers a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width. Business Class seats convert into fully flat beds with direct aisle access for every passenger.

On the Singapore to Kathmandu sector, operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class offers similar long-haul-standard comfort with a 32-inch pitch, and Business Class provides a spacious seat that converts into a fully flat bed, giving you extra room to rest on the regional portion of your journey.

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 Rome but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a range of ways to spend your layover, from themed gardens and art installations to rest areas and transit hotels. If you have at least about 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you can consider joining an official transit tour into the city, subject to the airport’s current programmes and requirements.

For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy facilities such as butterfly and sunflower gardens, children’s play areas, and quiet zones for relaxation. There are also a variety of dining options, shopping outlets, and, in some terminals, amenities such as swimming pools or cinemas.

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

Rome operates on Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from roughly late March to late October. Kathmandu uses Nepal Time (UTC+5:45) all year. This means Kathmandu is 4 hours 45 minutes ahead of Rome in winter, and 3 hours 45 minutes ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu when flying from Rome 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 (Rome–Singapore and Singapore–Kathmandu) 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 Kathmandu 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 Rome–Kathmandu 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.
