Most journeys from Vietnam to Kathmandu connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers a wide range of ways to spend your time. For longer layovers, you can explore indoor gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones, or consider an official transit tour if timings permit and it is operating. Shorter connections are best spent enjoying the terminals facilities, including dining, shopping, and quiet corners for a quick rest. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait, it is an integral part of your journey.

Ho Chi Minh City follows Indochina Time (UTC+7), while Kathmandu uses Nepal Time (UTC+5:45). Kathmandu is 1 hour 15 minutes behind Ho Chi Minh City throughout the year, as neither location observes daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Kathmandu when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Kathmandu, 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.
