Singapore Airlines (SQ):

Summary

Singapore Airlines is one of the most respected travel brands around the world with its youngest, most modern and comfortable fleet. Singapore Airlines has three weekly flights to Kathmandu with its subsidiary airline Silk Air. Singapore Airlines allows visas on arrival for Nepali and American citizens so transit visas are not required for traveling via Singapore. Infact, this is an excellent opportunity to visit a new country.
    
Prices from the western states are excellent all year round and they are very competitive for the middle and eastern states during the peak seasons.  Singapore Airlines has interlined agreements with many US carriers and you can take a Singapore Airlines flight from almost any city.

Singapore Airlines has one of the best in-flight services in the world.  All flights between the States and Singapore have personalized TVs, and excellent food and drink selections.  Skytrax gives Singapore Airlines a five star rating, which makes it among the best airlines overall.

The best prices for Singapore Air are between Jan-May and Sep-Nov.  In December the fares are the highest, while fares are at the middle in June-August.

Singapore Airlines has best connections from New York and Houston with minimum transit of 3-4 hrs each way. However, there is a long layover in both directions from SFO & LAX. But, travelers with at least 5 hours to spare before their connecting flight can register for a 2-hour sightseeing tour of Singapore.

Singapore Airlines flights originate from LAX, SFO, IAH and NYC.  

For economic class passengers, Singapore Airlines does not provide free meals or hotels during transit in Singapore. For a nominal fee, you can refresh & relax in comfort before boarding your departing flight or during transit.
