Most flights from Kathmandu to Japan connect at Singapore Changi Airport, which offers a wide range of ways to relax between flights. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy themed gardens, walking trails, play areas, and quiet seating zones, or simply refresh with a shower and a meal. With a longer connection, you might explore the airport’s attractions, such as indoor nature spaces and art installations, or rest at an airport hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Kathmandu is typically 3 hours and 15 minutes behind Japan Standard Time. Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka all share the same time zone. Japan does not observe daylight saving time, so this difference remains constant throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Japan 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 Japan, 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.
