Singapore is one of the world's great aviation crossroads, and the budget payoff is real: €75 to Kuala Lumpur, sub-€220 fares deep into North Asia, and an India network that's cheaper than almost anywhere outside the subcontinent.
Changi (SIN) is regularly voted the best airport on earth, and getting into town lives up to it. The MRT from Changi Airport station costs barely SGD 2–3 (around €1.50–2) with a contactless card: ride the CG line to Tanah Merah, transfer to the East-West Line, and you’re at City Hall in about 35 minutes. It’s one of the cheapest airport-to-city journeys anywhere. Even Jewel Changi — the indoor waterfall and garden complex — is right at the station, so a long layover is genuinely pleasant rather than something to endure.
As a launchpad, Singapore’s strength is depth into Asia. Scoot, AirAsia, Jetstar and the full-service carriers all fight over the same routes, and that competition pushes Malaysia, Thailand, India, Korea and Japan to prices that look like typos from a European perspective.
The regional double — Malaysia and Thailand
Two fares define cheap Singapore. Kuala Lumpur at €75 is the obvious one — a 1-hour hop on Scoot/AirAsia/Jetstar that’s cheaper than a taxi across most cities, with KL’s food and shopping as the reward. Krabi (€102) drops you straight onto Thailand’s Andaman coast, skipping Bangkok entirely. These two are the impulse buys: cheap enough that a weekend away from the city-state barely registers on the budget.
India, with a bag, for less than you'd believe
Singapore’s India network is its quiet specialty. Bangalore (€130 with a bag) is the standout — a checked-bag fare to South India’s tech capital for the price of a cabin-only European hop — with Bombay (€189 with a bag) and Kolkata (€202 with a bag) covering the west and east. All three include luggage, which makes them ideal for the longer, heavier trips India usually demands. From here, the subcontinent is a regional destination, not a long-haul splurge.
North Asia and the island escapes
The East Asian spread is excellent. Hong Kong (€198 with a bag) is a strong full-service fare, while Seoul (€216) and Busan (€216) give you both ends of South Korea at the same price. Okinawa (€239) is the sleeper pick — Japan’s subtropical island chain, far cheaper than mainland Japan — and Sanya (€346 with a bag) reaches China’s Hainan beach island. Abu Dhabi (€394 with a bag) bridges to the Gulf and onward to Europe.
Bag fares: the budget tell
The pattern is clear in the table. The cheap LCC hops (Kuala Lumpur, Krabi, Seoul, Busan, Okinawa) are cabin-only Scoot/AirAsia/Jetstar fares, while the India routes, Hong Kong, Sanya and Abu Dhabi include a checked bag. On the cabin-only fares, Singapore-based LCCs are strict and charge a premium for bags added late — if you’re carrying more than a backpack, add the allowance when you book, not at the gate.
