What's the cheapest way to fly from Singapore to Jakarta?

Fly direct to Soekarno-Hatta, book early, and pick a cheap month and day: those four choices move the fare more than anything else. Here is what KAYAK's route data shows for Singapore to Jakarta at the time of writing:

What you choose	Cheapest option	What KAYAK's data shows
Route	Changi to Soekarno-Hatta (CGK), direct	S$217 average return, against S$580 for other Jakarta routings

Jakarta has two airports with international flights from Singapore: Soekarno-Hatta (CGK), the main one west of the city, and Halim Perdanakusuma (HLP) in East Jakarta. On KAYAK's data, Soekarno-Hatta is the cheaper route by a wide margin, so start there unless your plans favour Halim.

Singapore to Jakarta flight: prices and airlines

A Singapore to Jakarta flight typically costs S$173 to S$262 return or S$120 to S$188 one way, according to KAYAK Singapore at the time of writing. The route is one of Changi's busiest: Changi Airport's Wikipedia entry lists Jakarta among the five busiest routes from Singapore in 2025, with Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Denpasar and Hong Kong.

That busy schedule gives you plenty of choice. KAYAK counted about 31 direct flights a day, or roughly 217 a week, with an average flight time of 1 hour 53 minutes. Airlines flying nonstop between Changi and Soekarno-Hatta at the time of writing include:

Airline	Direct flights a week (KAYAK, last 3 months)
Singapore Airlines	63
Garuda Indonesia	42
Batik Air	35
Scoot, Citilink, Pelita Air, TransNusa	Also fly the route nonstop

The lowest base fare is not always cheapest in the end. A low base fare can overtake a full-service fare once you add checked baggage, a seat and a meal. If you are travelling with a suitcase, price the fare with the bag included on each airline before deciding.

Cheapest month for a Singapore to Jakarta flight: the price data

January is the cheapest month to fly from Singapore to Jakarta, with a median return fare of S$171 on KAYAK's 12-month data. KAYAK takes all return prices for each month over the last 12 months, removes the top 0.1 percent as outliers and takes the median. On that basis:

• Cheapest month: January, S$171 return.
• Most expensive months: December, S$249, and June, S$248.
• Gap between cheapest and most expensive month: about 45 percent.
• Cheapest day of the week: Thursday, about 5 percent below the average day.
• Most expensive day: Sunday, about 8 percent above.

Singapore school holidays line up with the pricier months. The Ministry of Education calendar puts the 2026 year-end school holidays from 21 November to 31 December, which overlaps the expensive December period. If your dates are flexible, January or a Thursday departure usually costs less.

Book early, but not too early to compare. KAYAK's data shows the best prices about 22 weeks before departure, around 37 percent below the average last-minute fare booked within 2 weeks of the flight. Setting a price alert around five months out gives you time to watch the route.

Singapore to Jakarta flight best deals in 2026

The best Singapore to Jakarta flight deals usually come from airline sales, flexible dates and checking the total with bags, not from a single code. Live fares change by the hour, so here is the routine that tends to work:

1. Search a full month. Use a fare calendar on Skyscanner to see the cheapest days.
2. Set a price alert on the Singapore to Jakarta route.
3. Watch airline and booking site sales. Airlines on this route and booking sites such as Traveloka and Trip.com run sales through the year, often around 11.11 and 12.12. Check the live terms before you pay.
4. Compare the final total with the bags you need, on the site where you would pay.
5. Go through ShopBack Singapore to that site, then book in the same session.

Traveloka vs Trip.com for Singapore to Jakarta flights: price comparison 2026

Traveloka and Trip.com both sell Singapore to Jakarta flights, so the fair comparison is the final checkout total for the same flight and fare type. Neither is cheaper every time.

Traveloka. Traveloka is a Southeast Asian travel site founded in Indonesia, selling flights, hotels, airport transfers, car rental and things to do. Its Singapore site is priced in SGD, and its Singapore entity, Traveloka Services Pte. Ltd., lists travel agent licence number TA02740.

Trip.com. Trip.com is a booking site run by Trip.com Group, with a Singapore site priced in SGD. Its Customer Service Guarantee page describes a Flight Price Guarantee covering fare changes after payment in certain cases, so read the conditions there before you rely on it. Trip.com Rewards members can also earn Trip Coins on eligible bookings.

How to compare them fairly:

1. Pick the same flight number, date and time on both sites.
2. Match the fare type, including checked baggage and change rules.
3. Add seats or meals only if you need them, the same way on both.
4. Compare the total on the payment page, including any card or payment fees.
5. Go through ShopBack to the cheaper site, then book.

Traveloka, Trip.com and Skyscanner for a Singapore to Jakarta flight

Use Skyscanner to search widely, then book with the airline or booking site that has the lowest total. Skyscanner is a search site rather than a seller: according to its Wikipedia entry, it is a subsidiary of Trip.com Group, does not sell tickets or take payment itself, and hands you to a partner airline or booking site to complete the purchase.

Step	Site	What to do
1	Skyscanner	Search the month, note the cheapest flights and who sells them
2	Traveloka	Check the same flight's total with bags
3	Trip.com	Check the same flight's total and any Trip Coins you can use
4	ShopBack Singapore	Open the store page for the cheapest site and tap through

Start step 4 from the Traveloka page on ShopBack, the Trip.com page on ShopBack or the Skyscanner page on ShopBack.

Other places Singapore travellers book flights to Jakarta include Expedia, Agoda and the airlines' own websites and apps.
