Flights from United Arab Emirates

From the United Arab Emirates, Singapore Airlines offers a direct flight from Dubai to Singapore, where you can connect to many other destinations. From Singapore, you can fly non-stop to major cities across Southeast Asia such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Denpasar (Bali), Manila, and Hanoi; in North Asia to places like Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong; in Europe to cities including London, Manchester, Frankfurt, Rome, Barcelona, and Brussels; and in the Southwest Pacific to Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Auckland, and Christchurch. Many more destinations across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America are also reachable with a simple connection through Singapore Changi Airport.

From the United Arab Emirates, any itinerary that continues beyond Singapore to Europe, the Southwest Pacific, or North America will usually be considered long haul. Journeys to Europe, including London, Manchester, Frankfurt, Rome, Barcelona, and Brussels, typically fall in the medium- to long-haul range, often adding up to around 12 to 18 hours of flying time in total via Singapore. Travel to the Southwest Pacific, with destinations such as Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Auckland, and Christchurch, is generally long haul, usually between about 14 and 18 hours of total flight time. Flights to the Americas, including Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York, are among the longest journeys, often in the range of 20 hours or more in total when combined with the Dubai to Singapore sector. Selected services within North Asia with longer durations, such as Tokyo, Seoul, and some major Chinese cities, can also feel like extended medium- to long-haul journeys when flown via Singapore.

For a shorter break from the United Arab Emirates, Singapore is an excellent choice, with a tropical climate and comfortable conditions during the drier months, ideal for exploring gardens, waterfront walks, and diverse neighbourhoods. Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia is another attractive option, best enjoyed in relatively drier and slightly cooler periods, with a mix of skyline views and vibrant markets. Penang in Malaysia suits travellers looking for a relaxed pace, with warm, generally dry seasons ideal for coastal walks and heritage streets. Bangkok in Thailand offers a lively city escape, with the cooler and less humid months being particularly pleasant for rooftop views and riverfront strolls. Denpasar (Bali) in Indonesia works well for a slightly longer short trip, especially during the dry season, when you can enjoy beaches, rice terraces, and sunsets in comfortable, sunny weather.

Business Class offers lie-flat seats on many routes, generous personal space, and elevated dining.
