Paris to Singapore is one of the classic long-haul routes out of France, and you have a real choice: fly nonstop in about 12h50 with a top-tier carrier, or save money on a one-stop itinerary through the Gulf. This guide covers who flies the route, what a fair return fare looks like in euros, and when to book for the best price.
Route: Paris (CDG / ORY) → Singapore Changi (SIN)
Distance: approximately 10,750 km (6,700 miles)
Non-stop flight time: about 12h 50m – 13h 10m eastbound
Direct flights: Yes — Air France, Singapore Airlines and Qantas all fly nonstop from Paris CDG, several times a day between them. One-stop options via the Gulf are usually cheaper.
Fares from Paris to Singapore (EUR)
Singapore is a year-round destination with a fairly even tropical climate, so fares track demand more than weather. The European holidays — Christmas/New Year, February half-term and July–August — are the priciest; the quieter shoulder months are the cheapest. The figures below are typical economy return fares in euros; the lowest are usually one-stop itineraries, with the nonstops sitting toward the higher end.
| Month | Typical return (economy) | Demand |
|---|---|---|
| January | €620 – €900 | high |
| February | €600 – €880 | high (half-term) |
| March | €540 – €760 | medium |
| April | €540 – €780 | medium (Easter) |
| May | €500 – €700 | low-medium |
| June | €520 – €720 | medium (holidays) |
| July | €620 – €880 | high (summer) |
| August | €620 – €880 | high (summer) |
| September | €480 – €680 | low |
| October | €500 – €700 | low-medium |
| November | €540 – €760 | medium |
| December | €700 – €1,000 | very high (holidays) |
Reference points from our own deal tracking: a strong return lands around €440–€550, a typical fair price is roughly €700, and anything under about €550 is worth booking quickly. Nonstop Air France, Singapore Airlines and Qantas returns usually start a little higher than the cheapest Gulf one-stops.
Airlines on this route
Non-stop (about 12¾ hours):
- Singapore Airlines — nonstop CDG → Changi; consistently one of the world’s best-rated economy products.
- Air France — nonstop from its CDG hub, convenient connections from across France and Europe.
- Qantas — nonstop CDG → Singapore, part of its Europe–Australia network; a further onward option to Sydney or Perth.
One-stop (usually the cheapest, about 15–19 hours total):
- Qatar Airways via Doha — frequent, strong economy and often the best-value premium cabins.
- Emirates via Dubai — multiple daily options and generous baggage.
- Turkish Airlines via Istanbul — typically among the lowest headline fares.
- Lufthansa and Swiss via Frankfurt, Munich or Zurich — comfortable European routings with wide schedules.
Because the one-stop carriers compete hard, they usually undercut the nonstops by €50–€150. If time matters more than money, book a nonstop; if price is the priority, a single stop through Doha, Dubai or Istanbul is the sweet spot.
When to book & how to save
- Book 2–4 months ahead for the best balance of price and choice; long-haul fares to Singapore rarely get cheaper in the last few weeks.
- Avoid the peaks — Christmas/New Year, February half-term and July–August are the busiest and most expensive.
- Travel in the shoulder months (May, September–October) for the lowest fares.
- Use Singapore as a stopover: it’s a natural gateway to Bali, Bangkok and Australia, so a multi-city ticket can be better value than two separate trips.
- Compare all-in prices including bags: the full-service and Gulf carriers usually include 25–30 kg to Singapore, but the cheapest “light” fares may not.
Arriving in Singapore
All flights land at Singapore Changi (SIN), regularly ranked among the world’s best airports, about 20 km east of the city. The easiest way in is the MRT (metro) from the airport station, around 45 minutes to the centre with one change and well under €2; a metered taxi runs roughly €14–€28 to downtown, a little more late at night. Changi’s own attractions — the Jewel complex and its indoor waterfall — are worth arriving early for on the way home.
