Cheap Flights to Singapore Airport

Although Singapore is one of the world's most economically developed nations, it is still possible to find affordable airfares to this metropolis.  By scheduling your holiday at the right time of year, and using effective online search tools like Skyscanner (with its standard Singapore flight search and a month view that allows you to compare the cost of flights over an entire month) you can enjoy an affordable city break in Singapore.

Best Time to Book a Flight To Singapore

Singapore has a warm, tropical climate throughout the year, which means that the weather varies little throughout the year.  However, most of the country's tropical storms take place between December and February, which also coincides with the busy (and expensive) holiday season.  During Christmas, New Years and Chinese New Year, hotels are full to capacity and prices across the city tend to rise.  So, for travelers watching their wallet, a visit between March and November is ideal. 

Airlines That Fly to Singapore Airport

Singapore Changi Airport is the home base for the world-class Singapore Airlines, as well as budget carriers like Tigerair and Scoot.  From Canada, travelers often connect through cities in the United States or Asia, and travel with airlines like Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa and Air Canada.  Skyscanner has a full list of the airlines that fly to Singapore. 

What to Expect When Arriving at the Airport

Singapore Changi Airport is a massive facility that moves more than sixty-six million passengers through three different terminals each year.  Although it is possible to walk between all three terminals, most passengers prefer to use the ground-level peoplemover system or the airport's skytrain.  Singapore Changi Airport is efficiently connected to central Singapore by train (which runs until 11:18 pm), metered taxis and scheduled hotel shuttle service, and the journey into the center usually takes between thirty and forty-five minutes. For travelers who enjoy driving, car rental services are available in all three terminals from 7:00 am until 11:00 pm.

Savvy travelers often schedule time at Singapore Changi Airport into their holiday itinerary.  Attractions within the airport include five indoor and outdoor gardens, a swimming pool and more than 20,000 square metres of retail shopping.  Terminal 1 is home to the world's largest kinetic sculpture, Terminal 2 has its own dedicated entertainment station, and Terminal 3 has a movie theatre that shows the latest hits.  ATMs, currency exchange offices, business centers, post offices, information desks and internet access points are available in every terminal. 

What to See and Do in Singapore

Modern attractions include the Gardens by the Bay, the Singapore Flyer waterfront observation wheel, and the luxury shopping along Orchard Road. Singapore is also home to a surprising amount of natural green space, including the Singapore Botanic Gardens and the MacRitchie Reservoir TreeTop Walk (both offering free admission).  No matter where you book your hotel, you will be surrounded by attractions and well-connected to the public transit system.
