Flights to Singapore

A flight from London to Singapore Changi Airport takes approximately 12 hours and 45 minutes.

You can often find cheaper prices in Singapore during the winter months when the weather, while still warm, is less predictable.

If you’re travelling on a budget, there are plenty of ways to see the best of what Singapore has to offer. Avoid visiting during holidays like Chinese New Year, National Day in August and the country’s school holidays in June and December, as prices tend to rise during these times. Bring a refillable water bottle and you can save on buying bottled water as tap water is safe to drink. You’ll find that alcohol is pricey, so opt for happy hour drinks and beer at hawker centres to enjoy a tipple or two. Choose public transport instead of taxis to get around the city for less and enjoy free or low-cost attractions like the Botanical Gardens and Supertree Grove.

It takes about 30 minutes to get from Changi Airport into Singapore’s centre, and there are lots of transport options available. Several buses depart from the terminals, and you can also take the train, a metered taxi or book an airport transfer.  

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Singapore has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

Innovation is part of Singapore’s DNA, from its forest of mechanical trees to its famous cocktail. When you’re not sipping on a Singapore Sling or admiring the Singapore orchids in the National Orchid Garden, head to the city-state's famous shopping street, Orchard Road, to pick up luxury souvenirs from the malls. If you love thrills, head to Sentosa Island to enjoy the waterpark, cable car and Universal Studios Singapore.

Citizens of the UK and Ireland and EU passport holders may require a visa to visit Singapore, depending on how long they stay. You can find out more about visa requirements for all the countries we fly to at the IATA Travel Centre.
