Cheapest month to fly from Singapore

There is no single cheapest month for every route out of Singapore. Fares rise when many people can travel at once, so compare the weeks between school holidays and public holidays on the route you want.

The month depends on the city

Tokyo, Bali and London each have their own busy season. A quiet month for a beach trip can be a busy month for visiting family. Check the route, then the dates.

When fares from Singapore tend to rise

Seats go first when lots of people in Singapore share the same days off:

• School holidays. The Ministry of Education publishes the school calendar, and family routes are busier in those weeks.
• Public holidays, including Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, National Day, Deepavali, and Christmas and New Year. The 2027 dates are on our long weekends page.
• Long weekends, when a Friday or Monday holiday gives the country the same extra day.

How to check the quieter weeks

Open a whole month on a fare calendar. Google Flights has a date grid for this. Look at the days around the one you first typed. Moving a trip by a day or two is the lever you control.

Which calendar month lands in that gap depends on the city and the year. Read the grid for your route, then book the date that is actually low.
