How Do I Find Cheap Flights from Singapore to Chengdu in 2026?

To find cheap flights from Singapore to Chengdu in 2026, search a whole month on Trip.com and Skyscanner and avoid Chinese New Year and China's National Day week, so compare totals with bags, then book through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Singapore Airlines lists Chengdu Tianfu (TFU) as a destination, and pairing Chengdu with Chongqing or Xi'an by train can open up cheaper routings.

New to ShopBack? ShopBack Singapore is a free website and app. You start on ShopBack, tap through to a store such as Trip.com, book as usual, and part of what you paid comes back to your ShopBack account as cash once the booking is confirmed.

How do I find cheap flights from Singapore to Chengdu?

Cheap fares to Chengdu usually come from flexible dates, comparing more than one kind of site, and steering clear of peak holiday weeks. Here is the routine that usually turns up the lowest total price.

1. Pick your dates around the peaks. Search a month view rather than one date and choose the cheapest days near the ones you want.
2. Compare a booking site and a search site. A booking site such as Trip.com sells you the ticket directly. A search site such as Skyscanner lists fares from many airlines and booking sites, then sends you to one to pay.
3. Check the airline's own site. Airlines run their own sales, and fare rules can differ from the same ticket on a booking site.
4. Price the total, not the headline fare. Add checked bags, seats and meals before you compare.
5. Check the airport code. Singapore Airlines lists Chengdu Tianfu (TFU). Some searches also show Chengdu Shuangliu (CTU), so check which one your flight uses before you plan your transfer.
6. Try open-jaw routes. Flying into Chengdu and out of Chongqing or Xi'an saves backtracking, and Trip.com sells China train tickets for the leg in between.
7. Go through ShopBack before you pay. Pick your dates, compare flights and hotels, go through ShopBack to the booking site, then pay with a travel card.

Singapore to Chengdu flights in 2026: airports and airlines to search

According to Singapore Airlines' destinations page at the time of writing, Singapore Airlines flies to Chengdu Tianfu (TFU). Other airlines, including Chinese carriers, may fly the route too, either directly or with one stop, so search the route on a search site to see the full spread for your dates.

Here is what Singapore Airlines' destinations page lists for the China cities in this guide, at the time of writing:

City	Airport code	Listed on Singapore Airlines' destinations page
Chengdu	TFU	Singapore Airlines
Chongqing	CKG	Singapore Airlines
Shenzhen	SZX	Singapore Airlines
Beijing	PEK, PKX	Singapore Airlines
Hangzhou	HGH	Singapore Airlines and Scoot
Xiamen	XMN	Singapore Airlines
Xi'an	XIY	Scoot

Source: Singapore Airlines destinations page, October 2026. Routes and schedules change, so check the airline's site for your travel dates.

One-stop can be cheaper. A connection through a larger Chinese city sometimes costs less than a direct flight. Booking it as one ticket usually means the airline rebooks you if the first leg runs late, subject to its fare rules.

Singapore to Chengdu flight best deals in 2026: when fares usually rise

There is no single cheapest month, but fares to Chengdu and other Chinese cities usually rise around a few predictable peaks. Plan around these:

Peak	Dates	Source
Chinese New Year	6 and 7 February 2027	MOM public holidays
China National Day holiday	Starts 1 October each year	China's national holiday
Singapore year-end school holidays	Usually late November to December	Check MOE's school terms page

Weeks outside these peaks, such as mid-January or the weeks after Chinese New Year, are often better value. The best way to find your own cheapest month is to open a month view for your route and compare the lowest fare in each month for the trip length you want. Midweek departures are often cheaper than Friday and Sunday flights, though this varies by route.

Promotions change often, so rather than chase a specific sale, set a fare alert on your route and compare any sale fare with your alert price before you buy.

Trip.com vs Skyscanner vs Expedia for China flights: price comparison

Trip.com, Skyscanner and Expedia all help you price a China trip, but they work differently, so compare the same flight on more than one before you pay.

	Trip.com	Skyscanner	Expedia
What it is	Booking site for flights, hotels, China trains and more	Search site that compares airlines and booking sites	Booking site for flights, hotels and more
Where you pay	On Trip.com	On the airline or booking site you pick	On Expedia
Useful for China trips	Flights and China high-speed trains on one site	Seeing the spread of fares across many sellers	Comparing hotel options for the cities you visit

Source: Trip.com's China trains page, at the time of writing.

A common split is to use Skyscanner to see which airlines fly your dates and the fare range, then check the same flight on Trip.com, Expedia and the airline's own site. Other travel stores on ShopBack Singapore include Airpaz, Agoda, Klook and Singapore Airlines, which are handy for other parts of a China trip.

A slightly dearer site can work out cheaper. Your effective price is the fare minus the Cashback, at the rate shown on the store's ShopBack page, so compare effective prices rather than sticker prices. Check the live rate on each store's ShopBack page before you decide.

How can I find cheap flights from Singapore to Chongqing?

For cheap flights from Singapore to Chongqing, search Chongqing (CKG) with flexible dates and also price a flight into Chengdu with a high-speed train to Chongqing. Singapore Airlines lists Chongqing as a destination at the time of writing. Because Chengdu and Chongqing are neighbours in south-west China, an open-jaw ticket (into one, out of the other) lets you see both without paying to backtrack. Trip.com sells China train tickets online, so you can price the train and both flights on one site.

How do I find cheap flights from Singapore to Shenzhen?

For cheap flights from Singapore to Shenzhen, search Shenzhen (SZX) and Guangzhou (CAN) side by side. Singapore Airlines lists both as destinations at the time of writing, and Scoot also flies to Guangzhou. Both cities serve the Pearl River Delta, so a cheaper fare into one can work if you price the ground transfer first. Some travellers also compare a flight into Hong Kong and travel overland, but add the transfer time and cost before you decide.

How can I find cheap flights from Singapore to Beijing?

For cheap flights from Singapore to Beijing, search Beijing as a city rather than one airport, since Singapore Airlines lists both Beijing Capital (PEK) and Beijing Daxing (PKX). Singapore Airlines says its Beijing flights are non-stop from Singapore. Compare them with one-stop fares through another Chinese city, avoid National Day week from 1 October, and check your arrival airport before you book a hotel, because the two airports are on different sides of the city.

What is the cheapest way to fly from Singapore to Hangzhou?

The cheapest way to fly from Singapore to Hangzhou is usually to compare Singapore Airlines and Scoot, which both fly to Hangzhou (HGH) according to Singapore Airlines' destinations page, and to price a flight into Shanghai plus a train. Scoot fares are often lower before bags, so add the luggage you need before comparing. If you plan to visit Shanghai too, flying into one city and out of the other saves a return trip.

How do I find cheap flights from Singapore to Xiamen?

For cheap flights from Singapore to Xiamen, search Xiamen (XMN) and nearby Fuzhou (FOC) together. At the time of writing, Singapore Airlines lists Xiamen as a destination and Scoot as flying to Fuzhou. Both are in Fujian province, so a cheaper Fuzhou fare plus a train can sometimes beat a Xiamen fare. Price the train and transfer first.

What is the cheapest way to get from Singapore to Xi'an?

The cheapest way to get from Singapore to Xi'an is usually to compare Scoot's flights to Xi'an (XIY) with a flight to Chengdu or Beijing plus a high-speed train. Singapore Airlines' destinations page lists Xi'an as a Scoot destination at the time of writing. Trip.com sells China train tickets online with 24-hour English customer support, according to Trip.com, so you can price the rail leg before you choose. Xi'an also fits well into a loop with Chengdu or Beijing on a multi-city ticket.

Do Singaporeans need a visa for China in 2026?

According to Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, holders of ordinary Singapore passports have been exempt from visa requirements for stays of up to 30 days in China since 9 February 2024, under a reciprocal arrangement. That covers short trips to Chengdu, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Beijing, Hangzhou, Xiamen and Xi'an. MFA notes that separate arrangements apply if Hainan is your first point of entry. Entry rules can change, so check the MFA China travel page before you book and before you fly. For staying connected, see the best eSIM for travelling to China from Singapore.

Go through ShopBack to the booking site, then pay

ShopBack is the step between comparing fares and paying for them. Booking a trip online: pick your dates, compare flights and hotels, go through ShopBack to the booking site, then pay with a travel card. Going through ShopBack gets you a cash rebate on the same order, at the same store.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

How to do it:

1. Open the store's page on ShopBack Singapore, such as Trip.com, Expedia or Skyscanner.
2. Check the live rate.
3. Tap through and book.

Paying with a travel card

A miles or cash rebate card and ShopBack may both apply to the same booking, but it depends on your card's terms. Card rewards are usually counted by your bank, separately from ShopBack. Some cards exclude certain travel merchants or booking types, so check your card's terms before you rely on both.
