Flights from Kathmandu (KTM) to Seoul (ICN)

In-flight Dining
On the Kathmandu–Singapore and Singapore–Seoul sectors, you will be served in-flight meals tailored to the time of day and flight duration, with options available in both Business Class and Economy Class.

We offer a range of special meals on this route, which you can request in advance through our website or your booking agent so we can better meet your dietary preferences.

Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in Business Class on selected sectors of this route may be able to pre-select main courses through our Book the Cook service, subject to availability and departure airport.

A selection of hot and cold drinks is available throughout your journey, and our signature Singapore Sling is available on board in all cabins.

For Kathmandu–Seoul flights, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (Lite/Value fares: 25kg; Standard/Flexi: 30kg) and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage: Economy Class (1 piece, up to 7kg) and Business Class (2 pieces, each up to 7kg). Your final 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 from Kathmandu to Seoul once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, although Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service supports messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Kathmandu–Singapore and Singapore–Seoul sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable space for the journey. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on both sectors, allowing you to rest and arrive refreshed.

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. In Singapore (SIN), eligible passengers may be able to use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, subject to their eligibility and terminal.

Singapore Changi Airport is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For layovers of about 5.5 hours or more, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing. For shorter stops, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, entertainment zones, and airport hotels or nap facilities within the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45) all year. Seoul uses Korea Standard Time (UTC+9:00) and does not observe daylight saving time. Seoul is therefore 3 hours 15 minutes ahead of Kathmandu throughout the year.

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