Fares from Amsterdam to Singapore (EUR)
Singapore is a year-round city with no single “off” season, so fares track European demand more than the weather. The Christmas/New Year peak and the July–August summer holidays are the priciest; the quieter shoulder weeks in spring and autumn are the best value. 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 | — | medium-high |
| March | — | medium |
| April | — | medium (good value) |
| May | — | low-medium |
| June | — | medium-high (school holidays) |
| July | — | high (summer holidays) |
| August | — | high |
| September | — | medium (good value) |
| October | — | low-medium |
| November | — | medium |
| December | — | very high (holidays) |
We do not quote a target fare for this route.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 12½ hours):
- KLM — non-stop Amsterdam → Singapore on the Boeing 777; the convenient home-carrier option with the widest connecting network at Schiphol.
- Singapore Airlines — non-stop from Schiphol, consistently one of the best-rated economy products in the world, and an easy gateway to onward Asia and Australia.
One-stop (usually the cheapest, about 15–19 hours total):
- Emirates via Dubai — frequent, strong economy, often the best value to Southeast Asia.
- Qatar Airways via Doha — excellent service and a short first hop from Amsterdam.
- Turkish Airlines via Istanbul, Lufthansa or Swiss via Frankfurt/Zurich, and Etihad via Abu Dhabi — often competitively priced.
Because the one-stop carriers compete hard, they usually undercut the non-stops by €50–€150. If time matters more than money, book a non-stop; if price is the priority, a single stop through Dubai, Doha 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 and the July–August summer holidays are the most expensive; the Formula 1 weekend in September also lifts Singapore hotel and flight prices.
- Target the shoulder months (April–May, September–October) for the lowest fares and pleasant, if humid, weather.
- Use Singapore as a springboard — if you’re heading onward to Bali, Bangkok or Australia, a self-connect or a through-fare from Changi can be cheaper than a single long ticket.
- Check checked-bag rules — KLM, Singapore Airlines and the Gulf carriers usually include 25–30 kg, but the cheapest “light” fares may not, so compare the all-in price.
Arriving in Singapore
All flights land at Singapore Changi (SIN), regularly rated the world’s best airport, about 20 km east of the city. The easiest way in is the MRT (metro) from Changi to the centre, well under €2 and around 45 minutes with one easy change, or a metered taxi (roughly €15–€25 to most central hotels, a little more late at night). Ride-hailing and airport shuttles are also widely available. Give yourself time on arrival or departure to enjoy Jewel Changi — the indoor waterfall and gardens are worth it.

Is it cheaper to fly on weekdays?
