The Melbourne to Singapore flight time varies slightly by airline.

According to Singapore Airlines, the Melbourne to Singapore flight time is seven hours and 40 minutes. But if you’re flying with Qantas or Scoot, the Melbourne to Singapore flight time is scheduled to be seven hours and 55 minutes.

Melbourne to Singapore flight time on budget airline?

It’s worth bearing in mind that Scoot is a budget airline. You really might not fancy a Melbourne to Singapore flight time of nearly eight hours in budget airline conditions.

Singapore has long been a popular stopover on the so-called Kangaroo Route from the UK to Australia. If you’re flying back to the UK with Qantas, British Airways or Singapore Airlines, there’s a strong chance that you’ll be passing through Singapore’s Changi Market.

Singapore attractions

Singapore is widely regarded as a beginner-friendly Asia. There’s an interesting mix of Malay, Chinese and colonial British cultures. There’s also a good range of tourist attractions to keep visitors entertained. These range from historic buildings in the colonial centre to the theme parks of Sentosa Island. Also worth visiting are the Singapore Zoo and Night Safari, although the real highlight of Singapore is the food. The hawker-style food courts are fabulous for high quality cheap feeds, although Singapore also has several top class restaurants.

It’s worth checking the Singapore dollar to Australian dollar exchange rate before buying currency. But ATMs are widespread, so there’s no problem just taking money out on your card when you get there.
