Cheap flights from Kunming to Singapore

December and January are usually the expensive stretch, especially around Christmas and school holidays, and prices can also rise during busy travel periods. Work back from there: October is the cheapest month on this route, with fares shown for every month of the year. Midweek departures can be easier to price than weekend ones, and booking early gives more choice of times.

Start with the fare, not the airline name: some tickets include a cabin bag, checked baggage, a meal and seat selection, while others charge for each extra. The airlines on this route are Scoot, AirAsia, Hainan Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Kunming Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Xiamen Airlines and Thai Airways Intl. Some carriers sell a basic fare with paid extras, while others bundle more into the price, and some itineraries connect rather than flying direct. Check the number of stops, total travel time and whether the connection is protected on one ticket before you book.

You land at Changi, Singapore's main airport, which sits to the east of the city centre. Trains, buses and taxis all run into town, and the airport is large enough that the terminal matters, so check which one your flight uses and allow transfer time. Changi is efficient, but peak arrivals can mean queues at immigration and baggage, so keep documents ready. If you arrive late, confirm how you will reach your accommodation before you fly.
