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

The cheapest Singapore to Dubai flights in 2026 usually come from searching a whole month on Skyscanner and checking the same flight on Trip.com and Emirates, so avoid the November to March peak, then book through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. The non-stop flight takes about 7 hours 20 minutes. Before you check out, go through ShopBack Singapore.

On a seven-hour route, the gap between the cheapest and dearest days in the same month can be large, so date choice usually matters more than any single deal. Singapore Airlines puts the non-stop flight time at about 7 hours 20 minutes and notes that Dubai is 4 hours behind Singapore all year.

New to ShopBack? ShopBack Singapore is a free app and website that gives you Cashback when you book with partner sites such as Trip.com and Emirates. Open ShopBack, tap through to the booking site, and pay as normal. Sign up to ShopBack Singapore for free.

How do I find cheap flights from Singapore to Dubai?

Search wide, compare the same flight in two or three places, then book through ShopBack. Fares to Dubai move with season, fare type and demand far more than with the website you use.

1. Search a whole month. Use a flight comparison site such as Skyscanner to see which airlines fly Singapore (SIN) to Dubai (DXB) and which days are cheapest.
2. Decide on non-stop or one-stop. A connection through another hub can lower the fare but adds hours. Put both into the same comparison.
3. Match the fare. Fare types differ in baggage, seat selection, changes and refunds. Pick the fare type you actually need before you compare.
4. Check the same flight on a booking site and the airline. Look at Trip.com and Emirates with identical flight numbers, dates and baggage.
5. Go through ShopBack, then book. Once you know where the lowest total is, open ShopBack Singapore, tap through to that site and book.

Other places Singapore travellers often check for Dubai trips include Expedia, Agoda and Booking.com for hotels, plus Klook and Pelago for desert safaris and attraction tickets.

Singapore to Dubai flight: airlines, flight time and seasons

Emirates flies non-stop between Changi Airport and Dubai International (DXB) at the time of writing, according to the airline table on the Changi Airport Wikipedia page. Dubai is Emirates' home base, so its flights from Singapore also connect onward to many cities in the Middle East, Europe and Africa. Singapore Airlines also serves the route, but its Dubai flights were paused for part of 2026, so check its current schedule before you rely on it.

Flights to and from Dubai were disrupted at several points in 2026, and some airlines cut or paused services. Before you book, check the airline's latest schedule and the travel advice from Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Key facts for the route, according to Singapore Airlines' Dubai page at the time of writing:

Detail	What to know
Non-stop flight time	About 7 hours 20 minutes
Time difference	Dubai is 4 hours behind Singapore all year
Peak season	November to March, warm days and cooler evenings, around 20 to 28 degrees C
Shoulder season	April to May and October, around 28 to 35 degrees C
Low season	June to September, daytime temperatures can exceed 38 to 42 degrees C
Checked baggage on Singapore Airlines	Weight concept; exact allowance depends on fare type and shown during booking

On a long flight, a cheaper fare that leaves out checked baggage or seat selection can end up costing more once you add them. Compare totals, not headline fares.

Singapore to Dubai flights in Singapore in 2026: when fares tend to rise

Fares to Dubai usually climb in Dubai's cooler peak season and during Singapore school holidays, so travelling outside those weeks is the simplest way to pay less in 2026. We do not publish a single cheapest month, because fares change daily, but the pattern is predictable:

• Dubai's peak season. Singapore Airlines describes November to March as peak season, when outdoor sightseeing is most comfortable.
• Year-end school holidays. The Ministry of Education sets the 2026 year-end school holidays from Saturday 21 November to Thursday 31 December 2026. These weeks sit inside Dubai's peak season, so family travel pushes fares up.
• June school holidays. MOE's mid-year vacation runs from 30 May to 28 June 2026. That is Dubai's hot season, which keeps demand lower than in winter, though families still travel.
• Long weekends. Public holidays next to a weekend tend to fill flights fast in both directions.

If your dates are flexible and you are happy to spend more time indoors, the June to September low season usually gives you more choice of lower fares. The shoulder months of April, May and October can be a middle ground.

Singapore to Dubai flight best deals in Singapore in 2026

The best deals on Singapore to Dubai flights usually appear during airline sales, booking-site sale days such as 10.10, 11.11 and 12.12, and in flight plus hotel bundles. Specific promo codes come and go, so treat this as where to look rather than what you will get:

• Emirates' own offers. The Emirates website has sections for featured fares, special offers and a Best Fare Finder, plus a "Hold my fare" option. Check them for your dates and read the fare conditions.
• Booking-site sale days. Booking sites in Singapore often run flight and hotel promotions around the double-digit sale days.
• Flight and hotel bundles. Dubai hotels can cost as much as the flight. A bundle can sometimes come in below the two booked separately, so price it both ways.
• Member prices. Trip.com shows some prices only to signed-in members, and membership is free.

Whatever deal you find, check the live terms before you pay. Before you check out, go through ShopBack to get a post-purchase discount on the order.

Emirates vs Trip.com: Singapore to Dubai flight price comparison in 2026

Neither Emirates nor Trip.com is cheaper every time; Trip.com sells Emirates flights alongside other airlines, so the same flight can show a different total on each depending on fare type and promotions that day. Compare the same flight on both.

What booking with Emirates is good for

• Direct access to every Emirates fare type and to its own offers, plus managing changes with the airline.
• Earning Emirates Skywards Miles, the airline's own loyalty programme, on eligible fares.

What Trip.com is good for

• Comparing Emirates with one-stop options on other airlines in one search, priced in Singapore dollars.
• Booking your Dubai hotel, airport transfer and attraction tickets in the same place.

How to compare them fairly

1. Search the same date, flight number and number of passengers on both sites.
2. Pick the same fare type and baggage on both before comparing.
3. Include seats or meals only if you would pay for them anyway.
4. Compare the final total on the payment page, including any card or booking fees.
5. Pick the lower total, then go through the Trip.com page on ShopBack or the Emirates page on ShopBack before you book.

Emirates, Trip.com and Skyscanner for Singapore to Dubai flights: a simple workflow

Use Skyscanner to find the cheapest dates, Emirates and Trip.com to check the final price, and ShopBack Singapore as the step before you pay. Skyscanner does not sell tickets itself. It shows fares from airlines and booking sites and sends you to the one you choose.

Step	Where	What you do
1	Skyscanner	Search SIN to DXB across a whole month to spot cheap dates, airlines and one-stop options
2	Emirates	Check the same non-stop flight with your fare type and baggage
3	Trip.com	Check the same flight and baggage, plus any member price
4	ShopBack Singapore	Open the store page for the site you chose, tap through and book

For step 1 you can start from the Skyscanner page on ShopBack.

Is a one-stop flight from Singapore to Dubai worth it?

A one-stop flight to Dubai is worth it only when the saving on the same dates and baggage clearly outweighs the extra hours and the connection risk. One-stop routes through other Asian or Gulf hubs often appear in searches, and some come in below the non-stop fare.

Before you switch, check three things:

• Total journey time. A seven-hour flight can turn into twelve hours or more with a long layover.
• One ticket or two. A single booking usually protects you if the first flight is late; two separate tickets usually do not.
• Baggage. Make sure your bag is checked through to Dubai and that the same allowance applies on both legs.

If you are flying on from Dubai to Europe or Africa, the reverse also applies: Emirates lists stopover options and its Dubai Connect service on its website, with eligibility rules set by the airline.

Why ShopBack is a step before you book

Booking through ShopBack lowers the cost of the trip, and you still book on the site you chose. It takes a few seconds:

1. Open the ShopBack Singapore app or website.
2. Search for the booking site you chose, such as Trip.com or Emirates.
3. Tap through from the ShopBack page and complete your booking as normal.
4. After the booking site confirms the booking, the cash is added to your ShopBack account.

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. You can withdraw it to your bank account once it is confirmed. Travel bookings usually confirm after the trip has been completed.

Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns. A fare that looks a little higher on one site can still work out cheaper once that cash is counted. The live rate for each booking site is shown on its ShopBack page, so check it before you book.

Card rewards, promo codes and ShopBack on the same booking

Card rewards and ShopBack usually both apply on the same flight booking, because your bank pays the card rewards and ShopBack pays its cash separately. Promo codes and airline programmes are different, and each site sets its own rules:

• Trip.com: No code is needed for Cashback: go through ShopBack before you pay.
• Emirates Skywards: Emirates' own loyalty programme, with rules set by Emirates.
• Emirates Skywards: Emirates' own loyalty programme, with rules set by Emirates.\n- Card promotions: some depend on a minimum spend, a payment method or a code, so read your card's terms before you pay.

Step by step: booking a cheaper Dubai flight

Plan the trip, then book through ShopBack.

1. Pick your season. Decide between Dubai's cooler peak (November to March), the shoulder months or the hot low season, and check the MOE holiday calendar.
2. Search a whole month on Skyscanner for SIN to DXB, including one-stop options.
3. Price the same flight with the same fare type and baggage on Emirates and on Trip.com.
4. Check the latest schedule and travel advice for the route.
5. Go through ShopBack Singapore to the site with the lowest final total, and book your Dubai hotel the same way.
