How To Reach Singapore

Since Singapore is an island country, the best way to reach Singapore is by air. Most international airlines fly to Changi International Airport in Singapore. From India too, flights are the easiest and most convenient way of travel to Singapore. Flights are available from Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, and most other bigger cities in India. The average distance from India to Singapore is about 3000 km and the journey takes about 6 hours by air. It is technically possible to make a journey solely by road although it takes a lot of time. But hey, if you are a road trip lover, we won’t discourage you. One needs to drive from India to Myanmar, from Myanmar to Thailand, from Thailand to Malaysia and finally a cab or bus from Malaysia to Singapore.
