Flying from London Gatwick
Gatwick is London's leisure-leaning airport — the home of British Airways' short-haul leisure operation, easyJet's largest UK base and a long lineup of TUI and Norwegian holiday flights. South and central London passengers reach it via the Gatwick Express or Thameslink. The mix is broader than Heathrow on European leisure routes, often cheaper, and you'll see the same destination served three or four times a day across competing airlines — useful when one carrier delays.
Arriving in Singapore
Singapore Changi is consistently rated the world's best airport — 18 km east of the city, with MRT trains reaching downtown in 30 minutes for S$1.80. Singapore Airlines is the dominant carrier; BA and Qantas add full-service slots. The route is the longest non-stop from the UK at around 12.5–13 hours; off-peak fares are surprisingly competitive given the distance — book 8–14 weeks ahead.
