Bali to Singapore is one of the busiest and most convenient routes out of Denpasar, connecting Indonesia's top island getaway with one of Asia's biggest travel hubs. Several airlines compete head-to-head on this short hop — from ultra-budget carriers to full-service Singapore Airlines — so fares can vary widely depending on when and how you book.
Singapore is a compact, ultra-modern city-state packed into a single metro area, known for Marina Bay's futuristic skyline, world-class hawker food, and an efficient public transport system that makes it one of the easiest cities in Asia to explore without a car. It's also a major flight hub, so many travelers pair a Bali trip with a Singapore stopover en route elsewhere.
In this guide, we compare the airlines flying Bali to Singapore, share tips for finding the cheapest fares, and answer the most common questions about this route — plus everything else you need to plan your trip, from hotels and rental cars in Singapore, to eSIMs, bikes, and top-rated tours.

- Tuesday and Wednesday departures are typically cheaper than Friday/Sunday flights
- Direct Singapore Airlines and Scoot flights take about 2.5 hours, one of the quickest routes out of Bali

Best Time to Visit Singapore
Singapore sits near the equator, so temperatures stay warm and humid year-round with no true off-season weather-wise. The driest, most comfortable stretches tend to fall between February and April, while November and December bring the heaviest monsoon rains — though most attractions are indoors or covered, so it rarely disrupts a trip.
For flights, avoid booking around Chinese New Year (dates vary by year) and school holiday periods, when both fares and hotel rates rise sharply across the city.
Planning Your Arrival in Singapore
Once you land at Changi Airport, the extensive MRT network gets you into the city center in about 30 minutes, and taxis or ride-hailing apps are widely available and metered fairly. Most first-time visitors base themselves near Marina Bay, Orchard Road, or the Bugis/Kampong Glam area for easy access to major sights and dining.
A rental car is rarely necessary in Singapore itself given the efficient public transport, but can be useful if you're planning a side trip across the Causeway into Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
Where to Stay in Singapore
Marina Bay puts you steps from Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, and the Merlion, ideal if you want iconic skyline views right outside your hotel. Orchard Road is Singapore's main shopping district, with a huge range of hotels at every budget and direct MRT access to the rest of the city.
For a more local, character-filled base, consider Kampong Glam or Chinatown — both offer heritage shophouse streets, some of the city's best hawker food, and easy MRT connections to Marina Bay and Orchard Road.
