Booking the Cheapest Flights to Singapore
To get the best price, book your flights 3 to 4 months in advance using Google Flights to track price drops. Aim to fly into Changi Airport (SIN) on a Tuesday or Wednesday to avoid weekend peak pricing.
- Set up a price tracker. Go to Google Flights, enter your home airport and SIN. Toggle the 'Track prices' switch to 'On'. You will receive an email alert whenever the fare drops significantly.
- Use the calendar view. Click the date box in Google Flights to open the calendar view. This shows you the cheapest days to fly in a given month. If your dates are flexible, picking the green-colored dates can save you $200+ per round trip.
- Consider budget carriers for connections. If flying from within Asia, look at Scoot or AirAsia. If flying long-haul, check major carriers like Singapore Airlines, but search them on aggregator sites like Skyscanner to see if third-party sellers offer a cheaper bundle.
- Book directly with the airline. Once you find the price you want, book directly on the airline’s website. If there is a delay or cancellation, dealing with the airline directly is much easier than going through a third-party booking site.
- Which airport should I fly into?
- Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) is the only international airport in the country.
- Is it cheaper to book a package deal?
- Usually, no. Booking your flight and accommodation separately allows you to choose budget-friendly guesthouses or hostels, which are often left out of travel agency packages.
