Flights from South Korea to Kathmandu (KTM)

Yes. On flights from South Korea to Kathmandu, you can enjoy Singapore Airlines In-flight Dining, with thoughtfully prepared meals inspired by international and regional flavours. You may request special meals in advance to suit many dietary needs. On eligible sectors and in selected cabins, you can use our Book the Cook service to pre-select main courses. A full beverage service is available, including soft drinks, juices, hot drinks, and a selection of wines and spirits, as well as our signature Singapore Sling on most routes.

For flights between South Korea and Nepal, the weight-concept baggage allowance usually applies. In Business Class, you typically enjoy a higher checked baggage allowance than in Economy Class, with a standard cabin baggage allowance in both cabins. Allowances can vary by fare type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket or the Manage Booking section for exact checked baggage and cabin baggage limits for your journey.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, including those travelling in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, as long as your membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional usage can be covered by paid plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across flights from Seoul and Busan to Kathmandu, Singapore Airlines offers Business Class and Economy Class. Aircraft and cabin layouts vary by route, so you may see different seat designs and configurations between the wide-body services on the South Korea–Singapore sectors and the narrow-body flights on the Singapore–Kathmandu sectors.

In Economy Class, you can expect around a 32-inch seat pitch with up to a 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the journey. In Business Class, your seat converts into a fully flat bed, with direct aisle access on wide-body aircraft and generous personal space on narrow-body aircraft. Specific configurations may vary slightly between aircraft types on the South Korea–Singapore and Singapore–Kathmandu sectors.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from South Korea to Kathmandu. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass 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.

Most journeys from South Korea to Kathmandu connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For brief connections, you can enjoy indoor gardens, art installations, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of food and shopping close to your gate. With a longer layover, you can explore more of the terminals, relax in a hotel within the airport complex, or, if time and entry rules permit, join a transit tour of the city. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

South Korea (including Seoul and Busan) operates on Korea Standard Time, which is UTC+9 with no daylight saving time. Kathmandu operates on Nepal Time, which is UTC+5:45. This means Kathmandu is 3 hours 15 minutes behind South Korea throughout the year.

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.
