Qantas Adelaide to Singapore Fares
Economy fares
A return Qantas Economy ticket from Adelaide to Singapore, connecting via Sydney, Melbourne or Perth, starts at around $600 to $950 in the cheapest 'Red e-Deal' fare bucket, rising to $800 to $1,150 in the flexible 'Flex' Economy fare. The cheapest fares are usually 6 to 8 weeks ahead, outside the school holidays and the Singapore Grand Prix. The cheapest fare includes a carry-on only; the flexible fare includes a checked bag.
Business class fares
Business class on the Adelaide to Singapore route costs from around $2,400 to $4,200 return, with a lie-flat seat on the long onward leg, a full meal and drinks service, a larger baggage allowance and Qantas Lounge access in Sydney, Melbourne or Perth before the onward leg. Premium Economy sits in between, at around $900 to $1,400 return, with a wider seat and a better meal service.
Qantas Frequent Flyers earn Qantas Points and Status Credits on the Adelaide to Singapore route, even though it is a connecting flight, with the earn rate depending on the fare bucket and your Frequent Flyer tier. A typical Economy 'Flex' fare earns around 40 to 55 Status Credits and around 2,000 to 3,000 Points one-way (because the routing has two legs), a Premium Economy fare earns more, and a Business class fare earns the most. Frequent Flyers can also redeem Points on the route, with a one-way Classic Reward starting at around 28,000 to 34,000 Points in Economy, 36,000 to 42,000 Points in Premium Economy and 55,000 to 65,000 Points in Business, depending on the season.
The Aircraft and the Cabin
Qantas uses the Boeing 737 on the short Adelaide to Sydney, Melbourne or Perth leg, and the Airbus A330 or the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on the onward leg to Singapore, with Economy, Premium Economy and Business class cabins. The Boeing 737 is a narrow-body jet with Economy and Business class (the domestic Business class recliner, not a lie-flat), used for the 2-hour domestic leg. The A330 is a wide-body twin-engine jet with around 271 seats in a three-cabin layout — Economy in a 2-4-2 layout with around 31 to 32 inches of pitch, Premium Economy in a 2-3-2 layout with around 38 inches of pitch, and Business in a 1-2-1 layout with a lie-flat seat and direct aisle access for every passenger. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner has a similar layout but with a lower cabin altitude and a higher humidity, so the long onward leg feels less dehydrating.
Every seat on the A330 and 787 has a seat-back screen with the latest movies and TV shows, a USB port and a universal power outlet. The Business class on the onward leg is one of the best in the sky, with a lie-flat bed, a full meal and drinks service, and Qantas Lounge access in Sydney, Melbourne or Perth before the onward leg. The long onward leg is long enough for a full meal service in all three cabins, with complimentary soft drinks, tea and coffee in Economy and a full bar service in Premium Economy and Business. The flight crosses the Arafura Sea and the South China Sea, so you usually see open water and the occasional island on the approach into Singapore.
The Airports: Adelaide and Singapore Changi
Adelaide (ADL)
Qantas uses the domestic terminal at Adelaide Airport (ADL) for the short leg to Sydney, Melbourne or Perth, and the International Terminal at Sydney, Melbourne or Perth for the onward leg to Singapore. Qantas Club members and Business passengers have access to the Qantas Lounge in Sydney, Melbourne or Perth before the onward leg. Allow at least 2 hours before an international departure, and watch the connection time.
Singapore Changi (SIN)
All Qantas flights arrive at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), voted the best airport in the world for 12 years running, with four terminals connected by the free Skytrain, the Jewel indoor waterfall, a rooftop pool, a butterfly garden and free cinemas. The city is a 30-minute MRT ride from the airport, and the MRT costs around SGD 2, with trains every few minutes. Taxis and Grab are also plentiful.
Once you land at Changi, you are usually in the city within an hour, and the airport itself is a destination, with the Jewel indoor waterfall, a rooftop pool, a butterfly garden, free cinemas and a free city tour for transit passengers. Most travellers stop for one to three nights in Singapore, which is enough to see the Marina Bay Sands light show, the Gardens by the Bay, Chinatown and a hawker centre, and to eat a chili crab. Singapore is also a stopover hub, so a free stopover of 24 to 96 hours is a common way to break a long Europe to Australia trip.

Is the Adelaide to Singapore flight non-stop on Qantas?
No, Qantas does not fly non-stop from Adelaide to Singapore — every Qantas routing from Adelaide to Singapore connects in Sydney, Melbourne or Perth, with a 1.5 to 2.5 hour connection. The shortest Qantas routing is usually via Perth, at around 8 to 10 hours total travel time, with a non-stop leg of around 5 hours from Perth to Singapore.

Yes, Qantas Frequent Flyers earn Qantas Points and Status Credits on the Adelaide to Singapore route, even though it is a connecting flight, with the earn rate depending on the fare bucket and your Frequent Flyer tier.

The earn and the redemption are the same whether you book a Qantas flight number or a codeshare, as long as the flight is in the Qantas network. Qantas Club members and Business passengers also have access to the Qantas Lounge in Sydney, Melbourne or Perth before the onward leg.
Is there a time difference between Adelaide and Singapore?
Yes, Singapore is around 2.5 hours behind Adelaide — Adelaide is in the UTC+9:30 time zone (Australian Central Standard Time) and moves to UTC+10:30 during daylight saving (October to April), while Singapore is in the UTC+8 time zone (Singapore Standard Time, with no daylight saving). So during the South Australian summer (daylight saving), Singapore is 2.5 hours behind Adelaide, and during the South Australian winter, Singapore is 1.5 hours behind Adelaide. A morning departure from Adelaide at 8 am, after a 2-hour flight to Sydney or Melbourne and a 2-hour connection, puts you on the onward leg around midday, landing in Singapore in the late afternoon local time. The 1.5 to 2.5 hour time difference means a small amount of jet lag, but it is much less than on the Europe or US routes, and most travellers adjust within a day or two. South Australia observes daylight saving, so the time difference changes by an hour in October and April, which is worth checking before you book.
