Flights from Italy

From Italy, Singapore Airlines operates direct flights to Singapore from both Rome and Milan. Singapore then serves as your main hub for one-stop journeys to many other destinations.

From Rome and Milan, you can fly non-stop to Singapore, and from there connect directly to cities such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Denpasar Bali, Manila, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Penang, and Bandar Seri Begawan in Southeast Asia.

You can also connect from Singapore to North Asian cities including Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Taipei.

Beyond Asia, you can travel via Singapore to Sydney and Brisbane in Australia, Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi, Male, Colombo, Dhaka, Kathmandu, Riyadh, Dubai, and Cape Town. From Singapore, you also reach key cities in the United States of America such as Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York. Through these connections at Singapore Changi Airport, you can access an even wider global network.

From Italy, most journeys with Singapore Airlines are long-haul, usually involving a non-stop sector to Singapore followed by a regional or another long-haul flight.

In Europe to Asia travel, routes from Italy to cities such as Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Nagoya, and Taipei are typically long-haul, with total travel times often ranging from around 14 to 20 hours including the connection in Singapore.

Towards Australia in the Southwest Pacific, flights from Italy to Sydney and Brisbane are among the longest, generally taking between 18 and 22 hours of total travel time with the Singapore stopover.

In West Asia and Africa, destinations such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Dhaka, Colombo, Male, Riyadh, Dubai, and Cape Town are also long-haul from Italy, with overall times commonly between about 12 and 20 hours, and a little longer for Cape Town.

To the Americas, journeys from Italy to Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York via Singapore are very long-haul, with travel times often stretching from around 20 to over 30 hours, depending on the routing and connection time in Singapore.

For a shorter long-haul or a compact holiday from Italy, consider destinations with the shortest overall travel times from Rome and Milan via Singapore.

- Singapore, Singapore: Often the quickest option, suitable year-round, with a warm climate, modern cityscape, and easy sightseeing for a few days.
- Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Best in the generally drier and slightly cooler months, ideal for combining city skylines with nearby nature escapes.
- Penang, Malaysia: Pleasant in the dry season, offering heritage streets, hill views, and coastal scenery.
- Bangkok, Thailand: Good in the cooler and drier part of the year, with lively neighbourhoods, riverfront areas, and links to Thai beaches.
- Jakarta and Surabaya, Indonesia: Best during the dry season, providing a mix of urban life and access to nearby islands and volcanic landscapes.

All of these are reached with a single stop in Singapore and work well for a week away or a slightly extended long weekend.
