Southeast Asia: Reach Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Denpasar Bali, Penang, and Manila, among others, with a convenient transfer at Singapore Changi Airport.

From these hubs, Singapore Airlines and our partners open up even more destinations across Asia, the Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and Europe through onward connections.

Even though flights from Los Angeles are long-haul, some destinations have comparatively shorter total journey times via Singapore and work well for one- to two-week getaways.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Often among the shorter Southeast Asia options from Los Angeles, best enjoyed in the drier, slightly cooler months when humidity is less intense, with a mix of skyline views and heritage districts.

Surabaya, Indonesia: A good choice in the dry season when skies are clearer, giving you access to East Java’s volcano landscapes and a less touristy city experience.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: Best visited in its cooler, less rainy months, pairing a lively urban atmosphere with easy access to the Mekong Delta.

Bangkok, Thailand: Consider travelling during the cooler, drier part of the year for more comfortable temple-hopping and evening strolls along the riverfront.
