Singapore to Yangon is a short, well-served regional hop — barely three hours in the air, with several non-stop departures a day. It is a business and visiting-family route as much as a leisure one, so this guide covers who flies it, what a fair return fare looks like in Singapore dollars, and how to get from Yangon’s airport into the city.

Fares from Singapore to Yangon (SGD)
Myanmar’s cool, dry season (November–February) is the most popular time to travel and the priciest for flights; the hot months (March–May) and the wet season (June–September) are cheaper and quieter. 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 | — | high |
| February | — | high |
| March | — | medium |
| April | — | medium (Thingyan) |
| May | — | low |
| June | — | low |
| July | — | low-medium |
| August | — | low-medium |
| September | — | low |
| October | — | medium |
| November | — | high |

We do not quote a target fare for this route. Our price tracking holds no recorded observations for it, so a “typical” or “good deal” figure here would be an estimate dressed up as a measurement — so this page leaves it out rather than guess. The seasonal pattern above is the part we can stand behind; check the live fare for the number.
Airlines on this route
Non-stop (about 3 hours):
- Singapore Airlines — daily non-stops from Changi on narrowbody and widebody aircraft; full-service, with a checked bag included and the most polished product on the route.
- Myanmar Airways International (MAI) — Myanmar’s international carrier, regular non-stops with full-service fares including a checked bag.
- Myanmar National Airlines (MNA) — the state carrier’s Changi service, another non-stop full-service option.
One-stop (rarely worth it):
- Via Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur — connections through Thai or Malaysian hubs exist, but on such a short route they add hours for little or no saving; the non-stops almost always win.
With three carriers flying it direct in about three hours, the non-stop is comfortably the sensible choice on this route. Singapore Airlines offers the best schedule and product; the Myanmar carriers can undercut it on price, especially in the quieter months. Check current travel advice for Myanmar before you book, as conditions on the ground can change.
When to book & how to save
- Book 1–3 months ahead for the best balance of price and choice; short-haul regional fares rarely improve in the final fortnight.
- Travel in the wet or hot season (May–September) for the lowest fares — Yangon is humid but quiet, and prices drop noticeably.
- Avoid the December–January peak and the Thingyan water festival (mid-April), the busiest and most expensive weeks.
- Compare all-in prices: all three non-stop carriers are full-service and include a checked bag, so total the fare with bags before deciding.
- Bring US dollars in cash: they are widely used in Myanmar alongside the kyat, and useful for the airport taxi and early expenses.
Arriving in Yangon
Flights land at Yangon International Airport (RGN), about 15 km north of the city centre. The most reliable way in is a metered or pre-booked taxi from the arrivals rank, which takes 30–60 minutes depending on Yangon’s often-heavy traffic and costs around 15,000–25,000 kyat (roughly S$10–S$16). Ride-hailing apps also operate and can be cheaper and clearer on price. Most visitors need a visa — an e-visa is available online — so arrange it before you fly.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the flight from Singapore to Yangon?
The non-stop flight takes about 3 hours 05 minutes to 3 hours 15 minutes gate to gate. With several direct departures a day, there is no need to connect — a one-stop routing would add hours for little or no saving.
Are there direct flights from Singapore to Yangon?
Yes. Singapore Airlines, Myanmar Airways International and Myanmar National Airlines all fly non-stop from Changi to Yangon, with roughly a few departures a day between them. The non-stops are almost always the best choice on this short route.
How much does it cost to fly from Singapore to Yangon?
A typical economy return runs about S$ 240–S$ 500 depending on the season. The best deals dip to around S$ 220–S$ 260 in the quieter May–September months, while non-stop fares and the December peak sit toward the top of that range.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Singapore to Yangon?
May, June and September are usually the cheapest months to fly. Avoid December, early January and the Thingyan festival in mid-April, which are the busiest and most expensive.
Which airlines fly from Singapore to Yangon?
Non-stop: Singapore Airlines, Myanmar Airways International and Myanmar National Airlines. All three are full-service and include a checked bag. One-stop connections via Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur exist but rarely beat the direct flights on price or time.
Which airport do I fly into in Yangon?
You land at Yangon International Airport (RGN), about 15 km north of the city centre. A taxi into town takes 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and costs roughly 15,000–25,000 kyat (about S$10–S$16). Ride-hailing apps are also available.
How far in advance should I book Singapore to Yangon flights?
Aim to book 1 to 3 months ahead. Fares tend to rise as departure approaches, especially around the November–February dry season and the Christmas and New Year peak, so booking early usually wins on this route.
Is it cheaper to fly on weekdays?
Often, yes — midweek departures (Tuesday to Thursday) are usually a little cheaper than Friday–Sunday, and flying out and back on weekdays can save S$ 20–S$ 60 on a return. Shifting your dates by a day or two is one of the easiest ways to trim the fare.
