Flying to Singapore

The airport has four terminals, all connected by free Skytrain services. It’s known for smooth transfers, clear signage and short connection times, which makes travelling through Singapore feel straightforward.

Singapore Airlines is based here, alongside low-cost carriers like Scoot and Jetstar Asia.
How to find direct flights to Singapore
Looking for a non-stop flight to Singapore? Direct routes are available from major cities, but it depends on where you’re flying from.
Start by entering your departure airport and selecting “direct flights only” in the filters. This helps you quickly see which airlines fly non-stop to Singapore Changi Airport.
- From the UK, you can fly direct from London Heathrow (LHR) with airlines like Singapore Airlines and British Airways.
- From the US, non-stop flights are available from cities like New York (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX) and San Francisco (SFO), mainly with Singapore Airlines.
If you don’t see a direct option, try nearby airports or flexible dates. A small change can make a big difference!

Top airlines flying to Singapore
Choosing the right airline can make a big difference, especially on long-haul routes. Here are three popular options for flights to Singapore:
Singapore Airlines
Often the first choice for many travellers. Known for consistent service, comfortable seating and direct flights from major cities like London, New York and Los Angeles. A strong option if you want a smooth, non-stop journey.
British Airways
A familiar option for UK travellers, with direct flights from London Heathrow. You’ll get a straightforward travel experience, with a choice of cabin classes depending on your budget and comfort level.
Emirates
A good alternative if you’re open to a stopover. Flights connect through Dubai, often with flexible timings and competitive prices. Many travellers choose Emirates for the onboard experience and the chance to break up a long journey.
Cheapest time to fly to Singapore
If you’re looking to save on flights to Singapore, timing can make a big difference. Prices change throughout the year based on demand, events and school holidays.
In general, here’s what to keep in mind:
- February, March and September are often the cheapest months to fly, with fewer crowds and lower demand
- December and school holiday periods are usually the most expensive, especially around Christmas and New Year
- Midweek flights (Tuesday and Wednesday) tend to be cheaper than weekends
- Booking in advance can help you secure better prices, especially for peak travel periods
- Flexible dates can make a real difference, even shifting your trip by a day or two
Singapore is a year-round destination, so there’s no single "low season". But avoiding peak travel periods and planning ahead can help you find better value flights.
Top things to do in Singapore
Singapore might be small, but there’s plenty to see once you arrive. If you’re stopping over or staying longer, these are some of the top spots worth adding to your plans:
Gardens by the Bay
One of Singapore’s most recognisable landmarks, right next to Marina Bay.
You can walk through the Supertree Grove for free, or visit the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome for something more immersive. It’s worth going in the evening when the light show brings the whole area to life.
Marina Bay Sands SkyPark
The SkyPark sits on top of the Marina Bay Sands hotel and gives you a clear view across the city.
From here, you can see the skyline, the bay and even parts of Malaysia on a clear day. Time your visit for sunset and stay to watch the city light up.
Sentosa Island
Sentosa is where many travellers go to switch off for a day. You’ll find beaches, resorts and attractions like Universal Studios Singapore, all in one place.
It’s easy to reach from the city by cable car, train or taxi.
Chinatown
Chinatown is one of the best places to experience Singapore’s food scene. You’ll find hawker centres, local markets and temples like the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple.
It’s a good area to explore on foot and try a few different dishes along the way.
Orchard Road
If you enjoy shopping, Orchard Road is hard to miss. It’s lined with large malls, international brands and plenty of places to eat.
Even if you’re not planning to shop, it’s a good place to walk and take in the atmosphere.
Singapore Zoo
Singapore Zoo is known for its open enclosures, which make it feel more natural than a typical zoo.
Right next door, the Night Safari lets you see animals after dark on a tram ride or walking trail. It’s a popular attraction, so booking ahead helps.
