Flights from Kathmandu (KTM) to Italy

Yes, you will be served meals on flights from Kathmandu to Italy. In all cabin classes, our in-flight dining includes a curated selection of regional and international dishes designed for the length of each sector. You can request special meals in advance to suit many dietary needs. On eligible sectors and cabins, you may also use our Book the Cook service to pre-select main courses from an expanded menu.

Flights between Nepal and Italy generally use the weight-concept baggage allowance. In Economy Class, you can usually check in bags up to a combined weight limit. Premium Economy Class offers a higher checked baggage limit, and Business Class allows an even more generous checked baggage allowance. All travellers may also bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits suitable for their cabin class. Exact allowances are shown during booking and on your e-ticket.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please add your membership number to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and some fare types can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers reliably.

Across the journey from Kathmandu to Rome or Milan, you will typically find Business Class and Economy Class on the Boeing 737-8 MAX sector between Kathmandu and Singapore. On the Airbus A350-900 sectors between Singapore and Italy, you can usually choose from Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. Specific cabin availability may vary by flight and travel date.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, varying slightly by aircraft. Premium Economy Class, available on the Airbus A350-900 sectors, offers around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of seat width. Business Class seats on both aircraft types convert into fully flat beds, with every seat providing direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900. Cabin configurations may differ slightly between the Boeing 737-8 MAX and Airbus A350-900.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Italy. 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.

Most journeys from Kathmandu to Italy connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour into the city if your timings allow, or explore the airport's gardens, art installations, and themed zones. Shorter layovers are comfortable spent airside, with quiet rest areas, showers, and a wide choice of dining and shopping close to the gates. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Kathmandu operates on Nepal Time (UTC+5:45). Italy, including Rome and Milan, uses Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means Italy is usually 4 hours 45 minutes behind Kathmandu in winter, and 3 hours 45 minutes behind during European summer time.

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