Which airlines fly direct from Cairns to Singapore? 

If you’re after a straight shot to Singapore, Singapore Airlines is your go-to. It’s the only airline running direct flights from Cairns and full-service all the way. You’ll get meals, checked baggage, in-seat entertainment, and earn KrisFlyer miles if you’re part of the program.

Prefer a cheaper fare or don’t mind a short stop? There are a few other airlines that’ll get you there with just one layover:

• Jetstar: Base fare covers your seat, then you add bags, meals, or seat picks if you need ‘em. No frequent flyer perks.
• Qantas: Classic full-service option. Checked baggage, meals, and Qantas Points all included.

Where is the airport in Singapore?

Changi Airport (SIN) is around 20 kms from downtown Singapore, on the eastern side of the island. It’s a destination in itself and is consistently rated one of the best in the world.

Here’s how to get to the city:

• Train (MRT): Cheap (from SG$2) and gets you to central stations in about 30–35 minutes.
• Taxi or app ride: Fast and easy, especially if you’re landing late. Should land somewhere between SG$25–S$45.
• Shuttle van: About SG$10 per person. Good pick if you're staying at a hotel.
• Public bus: Slow but cheapest, but not ideal if you've got big bags or little patience.
