On routes between the Philippines and Kathmandu, Singapore Airlines generally applies the weight concept for checked baggage, with allowances varying by cabin class and KrisFlyer membership tier. Checked baggage allowances are higher in Business Class than in Economy Class. Cabin baggage is limited to one or two pieces depending on cabin class, within size and weight limits, so you can store them safely in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you. For full details relevant to your ticket, please refer to your booking confirmation or our baggage information page.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from the Philippines to Kathmandu once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional users can purchase Wi-Fi plans onboard. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On Singapore Airlines flights from the Philippines to Kathmandu, you can typically choose between Business Class and Economy Class. From Manila, the Manila–Singapore sector operates with both cabins on wide-body and narrow-body aircraft, followed by Business Class and Economy Class on the Singapore–Kathmandu sector. From Cebu, both segments via Singapore are operated with Business Class and Economy Class cabins on narrow-body aircraft.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, designed for comfort on medium-haul journeys. In Business Class, your seat converts into a fully flat bed, with direct aisle access on wide-body aircraft and generous space on narrow-body aircraft. Specific configurations may vary slightly between Airbus A350-900, Boeing 787-10, and Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft operating these routes.

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

Most journeys from the Philippines to Kathmandu connect via Singapore Changi Airport, where you can enjoy indoor gardens, themed rest areas, play zones for children, and a wide range of dining and shopping. For longer layovers, you may join a free transit tour of Singapore when available and if your schedule allows. For shorter connections, it is often best to stay airside, relax in seating areas or eligible lounges, and freshen up with shower facilities in selected locations. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Manila and Cebu follow Philippine Time (UTC+8), while Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45). This means Kathmandu is 2 hours 15 minutes behind Manila and Cebu 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.
