By Air
Fly to Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), the main gateway for travellers from India. Choose your onward transfer according to your arrival terminal, hotel location and luggage.
Choose the Route That Fits Your Trip
Flying to Changi Airport is the simplest way to reach Singapore from India. After arrival, continue to your hotel by train, taxi or a pre-booked transfer. If Singapore is part of a Malaysia trip, road and cross-border rail options may also fit your route.
Arrival overview
How to Reach Singapore at a Glance
By Train
There is no direct train from India. Travellers arriving through Malaysia can use the Shuttle Tebrau between JB Sentral and Woodlands Train Checkpoint, then continue into the city.
By Road
Coaches and permitted vehicles connect Malaysia with Singapore through the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints. Border queues can add time, especially during weekends and holidays.
Most practical first-time route
India → Changi Airport → Singapore hotel
For a first visit, fly to Changi and head to your hotel before starting sightseeing. The MRT suits travellers with manageable luggage, while a taxi or arranged transfer can be simpler with children or several bags. Check public transport hours if your flight arrives late.
1. Arrive: Land at Changi Airport and complete arrival formalities.
2. Transfer: Choose the MRT, a taxi or a pre-booked hotel transfer.
3. Continue: Plan city journeys around your hotel and the places you want to visit.
Route details
By Air, Train and Road
Reaching Singapore by Air
Book a flight to Changi Airport (SIN), using a direct or connecting service that suits your departure city. Check the full journey time and baggage conditions when comparing fares. Changi has several terminals, so confirm where you arrive and where to meet your driver or reach public transport.
Reaching Singapore by Train
Singapore has no direct rail connection with India. If you are already in Johor Bahru, the Shuttle Tebrau runs between JB Sentral and Woodlands Train Checkpoint. Book for the correct crossing and allow time for immigration. Woodlands Train Checkpoint is not the same as Woodlands MRT station; onward transport is needed.
Reaching Singapore by Road
Road arrivals from Malaysia use the Causeway at Woodlands or the Second Link at Tuas. Coaches can suit a combined holiday, but the border crossing makes arrival times variable. Check the coach drop-off point before booking. A road journey from India is not a practical substitute for flying on a standard Singapore holiday.
