You will be served complimentary meals on both the Chongqing–Singapore and Singapore–Kathmandu sectors, with menus designed to suit the flight time and offer a balance of regional and international flavours.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance to meet many dietary needs. Please place your request through our booking management page or your travel agent before your flight.

Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in selected premium cabins on participating flights can pre-order from an extended menu using our Book the Cook service. Simply choose your preferred main course ahead of departure for greater control over your dining experience.

For flights between Chongqing and Kathmandu, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Economy Class Lite and Value fares, 30kg for Economy Class Standard and Flexi fares, 40kg for Business Class, and each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are 1 piece up to 7kg for Economy Class, and 2 pieces each up to 7kg for Business Class. 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 once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and 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 service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Chongqing–Singapore and Singapore–Kathmandu sectors, operated by Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access or easy aisle access, giving you more space to work, dine, or 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.

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 cabin class and frequent flyer 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 Chongqing but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed to make layovers comfortable and enjoyable, with themed gardens, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining options within the terminals. For shorter layovers, you can relax in quiet zones, explore the airport’s attractions, or freshen up at shower facilities.

If you have a longer connection, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city, generally available for layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, subject to operating times and entry requirements. Alternatively, you can spend more time enjoying the airport’s indoor greenery, play areas, and relaxation spaces.

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

Chongqing follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45) year-round. Kathmandu is 2 hours 15 minutes behind Chongqing throughout the year, so when it is 12.00pm in Chongqing, it is 9.45am in Kathmandu.

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