Qantas Sydney to Singapore Fares
Economy fares
A return Qantas Economy ticket from Sydney to Singapore starts at around $550 to $900 in the cheapest 'Red e-Deal' fare bucket, rising to $750 to $1,100 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 Sydney to Singapore route costs from around $2,200 to $4,000 return, with a lie-flat seat, a full meal and drinks service, a larger baggage allowance and Qantas Lounge access at Sydney before the flight. Premium Economy sits in between, at around $850 to $1,300 return, with a wider seat and a better meal service.
Qantas Frequent Flyers earn Qantas Points and Status Credits on the Sydney to Singapore route, with the earn rate depending on the fare bucket and your Frequent Flyer tier. A typical Economy 'Flex' fare earns around 30 to 40 Status Credits and around 1,400 to 2,200 Points one-way, 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 22,000 to 28,000 Points in Economy, 30,000 to 36,000 Points in Premium Economy and 45,000 to 55,000 Points in Business, depending on the season.
The Aircraft and the Cabin
Qantas uses the Airbus A330 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on the Sydney to Singapore route, with Economy, Premium Economy and Business class cabins. 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 8-hour flight feels less dehydrating.
Every seat has a seat-back screen with the latest movies and TV shows, a USB port and a universal power outlet. The Business class on both jets is one of the best in the sky, with a lie-flat bed, a full meal and drinks service, and Qantas Lounge access at Sydney before the flight. The 8-hour flight 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: Sydney and Singapore Changi
Sydney (SYD)
Qantas uses the International Terminal at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) for the direct flight to Singapore. Qantas Club members and Business class passengers have access to the Qantas Lounge at Sydney before the flight. The morning, afternoon and overnight departures from Sydney all land in Singapore 2 to 3 hours behind Sydney local time. Allow at least 2 hours before an international departure.
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.

Yes, Singapore is 2 to 3 hours behind Sydney — Sydney is in the UTC+10 time zone (Australian Eastern Standard Time) and moves to UTC+11 during daylight saving (October to April), while Singapore is in the UTC+8 time zone (Singapore Standard Time, with no daylight saving).

The 2 to 3 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.
