There is no non-stop flight from Berlin to Singapore, so every itinerary connects once — through a European hub such as Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich or Copenhagen, or a Gulf or Istanbul hub. Berlin lost its long-haul network after Air Berlin’s 2017 collapse, and Singapore is now reached over a connecting point. This guide covers the realistic routings, a fair return fare in euros, and how to keep the journey short.
Route: Berlin (BER) → Singapore Changi (SIN)
Distance: approximately 10,000 km (6,215 miles) direct
Typical journey time: about 15–19 hours with one stop
Direct flights: No — there are no non-stop Berlin–Singapore flights. The quickest one-stop routings go via Frankfurt or Munich (Lufthansa / Singapore Airlines), Zurich (SWISS), Copenhagen (SAS), Istanbul (Turkish Airlines) or Doha (Qatar Airways).
Fares from Berlin to Singapore (EUR)
Singapore is a year-round destination with a hot, humid climate throughout, so fares are driven more by European holidays than by weather. The July–August summer break, the Christmas–New Year peak and the Chinese New Year period are the priciest; the shoulder months are quieter and cheaper. The table below shows when the route is busiest. We no longer print per-month fare estimates here, because they were never measured.
| Month | Typical return (economy) | Demand |
|---|---|---|
| January | — | medium |
| February | — | medium (Chinese New Year) |
| March | — | medium |
| April | — | medium |
| May | — | low-medium |
| June | — | medium |
| July | — | high (summer) |
| August | — | high (summer) |
| September | — | low-medium |
| October | — | medium |
| November | — | low-medium |
| December | — | very high (holidays) |
Reference points from our own deal tracking (Berlin–Singapore): a genuinely good return lands around €520–€630, a typical fair price is roughly €630–€760, and everyday fares often sit toward €800 or above in peak weeks. Anything under about €600 return is worth booking quickly.
Airlines on this route
Every option connects once. The European-hub carriers give the shortest total time; the Gulf and Turkish carriers usually price lower:
- Lufthansa via Frankfurt or Munich — frequent connections from Berlin and among the quickest routings to Changi.
- Singapore Airlines via Frankfurt, Munich or Zurich — connect onto its award-winning long-haul service; a strong choice for comfort.
- SWISS via Zurich and SAS via Copenhagen — smooth European connections, with Copenhagen often among the fastest overall.
- Turkish Airlines via Istanbul — a wide schedule and often competitively priced.
- Qatar Airways via Doha — strong economy product and competitive prices, though the Gulf routing adds distance.
- Finnair via Helsinki — another one-stop alternative worth comparing.
Because the one-stop carriers compete hard on this route, prices can vary by €100–€200 for the same dates. If time matters most, choose a European connection via Frankfurt, Zurich or Copenhagen; if price is the priority, compare the Istanbul and Doha routings.
When to book & how to save
- Book 2–4 months ahead. Long-haul one-stop fares to Singapore rarely improve at the last minute, especially around the summer and Christmas peaks.
- Prefer a European connection (Frankfurt, Zurich, Copenhagen) for the shortest total time; use the Gulf or Turkish hubs when you want the lowest price and don’t mind a longer trip.
- Travel in the shoulder months — May, September and November tend to be the cheapest and least crowded.
- Compare all-in prices including bags: full-service carriers to Singapore generally include a checked bag, but the cheapest “light” fares may not.
- Consider a stopover: some Gulf and Asian carriers let you break the journey at the hub for little or no extra fare — a useful way to see a second city.
Arriving in Singapore
All flights land at Changi Airport (SIN), about 20 km northeast of the city and regularly rated the world’s best airport. The cheapest way into town is the MRT (metro) from Changi, around 45 minutes to the centre for well under €2 with one easy change. A taxi to downtown takes about 20–30 minutes and costs roughly €15–€25 depending on the time of day and surcharges, and airport shuttles and ride-hailing are also available. Changi’s own attractions — including the Jewel complex and its indoor waterfall — are worth arriving early for.

How long is the flight from Berlin to Singapore?
With one stop, the total journey typically takes 15 to 19 hours depending on the connection and layover. A well-timed European connection via Copenhagen, Frankfurt or Zurich is usually around 15–16 hours gate to gate; Gulf routings via Doha or Istanbul can run longer.
How much does it cost to fly from Berlin to Singapore?

What is the cheapest month to fly from Berlin to Singapore?
May, September and November are usually the cheapest months to fly. Avoid the July–August summer peak, the Christmas holidays and the Chinese New Year period, which are the busiest and most expensive.
Which airlines fly from Berlin to Singapore?
Via Europe: Lufthansa (Frankfurt/Munich), Singapore Airlines (via Frankfurt, Munich or Zurich), SWISS (Zurich), SAS (Copenhagen) and Finnair (Helsinki). Via the Gulf and Turkey: Turkish Airlines (Istanbul) and Qatar Airways (Doha), which are often competitive on price.
Which airport do I fly into in Singapore?
You arrive at Changi Airport (SIN), Singapore’s single main international airport, about 20 km from the centre. The MRT metro links it directly to the city for under €2, and it is consistently rated among the best airports in the world.
How far in advance should I book?
Aim for 2 to 4 months ahead. Fares tend to climb closer to departure, particularly for the summer and Christmas peaks and Chinese New Year, so booking early almost always saves money on this route.
Is it cheaper to fly on weekdays?
Often, yes. Midweek departures (Tuesday to Thursday) are usually a little cheaper than weekend flights, and being flexible by a day or two on both the outbound and return can trim the fare on a long-haul one-stop itinerary.
