Are there direct flights from Singapore to Hokkaido?

Only seasonally, and not as a year-round nonstop. Here is what the sources showed at the time of writing:

Option	What it is	Source
Singapore Airlines	Seasonal nonstop winter service to Sapporo New Chitose; the 2025 to 2026 season ran from 30 November 2025 to 28 January 2026	AeroRoutes, Singapore Airlines NW25 service changes
Scoot	Flies Singapore to Sapporo New Chitose with one stop in Taipei	KAYAK Singapore listings; Singapore Airlines' where-we-fly page lists Sapporo under Scoot
Connecting flights	One stop via Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei, Beijing, Shanghai or Manila on other airlines	KAYAK Singapore listings

So if you want the shortest trip, look first for a Singapore Airlines nonstop in the winter months, then Scoot's flight through Taipei. If neither fits your dates, a connection through Tokyo or Osaka is the common fallback, and Japan's domestic airlines fly from both cities to Sapporo.

Singapore direct flights to Hokkaido: Singapore Airlines, Scoot and New Chitose in 2026

New Chitose Airport (CTS) is the Hokkaido airport served from Singapore, and Singapore Airlines and Scoot are the Singapore airlines that have flown there.

Singapore Airlines. Singapore Airlines has treated Sapporo as a seasonal route for the ski and snow months. AeroRoutes reported that its seasonal Singapore to Sapporo service resumed for 30 November 2025 to 28 January 2026, with frequency rising from 5 to 7 flights a week between 30 November and 31 December 2025. At the time of writing, Singapore Airlines' where-we-fly page listed Sapporo under Scoot only, so check Singapore Airlines directly for any winter 2026 to 2027 flights before you plan around a nonstop.

Scoot. Scoot flies Singapore to Sapporo with a stop in Taipei. Booking sites sometimes label it as "direct" because it is one flight, but it stops on the way, so it is not nonstop. Typical return fares KAYAK showed for these Scoot flights were S$844 to S$1,279.

What the Changi Airport and airline schedules show for Sapporo

Airline schedules for Sapporo change by season, so the schedule for your travel month is what counts. The Changi Airport flight listings and the airlines' own sites show the flights operating on a given day. If you are searching Changi's listings for a nonstop to Sapporo, expect to find one only in the months Singapore Airlines runs its seasonal service. Outside those months, Scoot's flight through Taipei is the closest thing to a direct flight.

Singapore to Hokkaido in 2026: when to go

Hokkaido's peak season from Singapore is winter, and that is also when flights cost the most. KAYAK's data showed January as the most popular month to fly to Sapporo, and the Sapporo Snow Festival is usually held in early February. Check the festival's official site for the 2027 dates before you book.

If you want snow, book early and expect higher fares. If you are flexible, spring and summer usually cost less, and the next section shows which month came out cheapest.

Cheapest month for Singapore to Hokkaido in 2026: price data

April was the cheapest month to fly from Singapore to Sapporo on KAYAK Singapore's data, with prices around 18% lower. Two more data points from the same page:

• When to book: travellers who booked at least 9 weeks ahead saved around 19% compared with booking last minute.
• Most popular month: January, the snow season.

A practical way to use this: for a spring or summer trip, start watching fares 2 to 3 months out; for a winter trip, start much earlier, because hotels in Sapporo and ski areas also fill up.

Singapore to Hokkaido best deals in 2026

The best Singapore to Hokkaido deals in 2026 usually come from flexible dates, a one-stop route and booking ahead, then lowering the final price when you pay. This guide does not list live fares. A routine that works:

1. Search flexible dates on Skyscanner or KAYAK to see the cheapest days.
2. Compare nonstop, Scoot through Taipei and one-stop connections on total price and total time.
3. Set a price alert for your dates.
4. Compare the final total with bags on the site where you would pay; ski gear and winter luggage can add a lot.
5. Go through ShopBack Singapore to that site and book in the same session.

Skyscanner vs Trip.com: Singapore to Hokkaido price comparison in 2026

Skyscanner and Trip.com are different kinds of site, so compare the final price you would pay, not the first number you see.

• Skyscanner is a search site. According to its Wikipedia entry, it is a subsidiary of Trip.com Group, does not sell tickets or process payments itself, and hands bookings to one of around 1,200 partners. It is handy for seeing nonstop, Scoot and one-stop options side by side.
• Trip.com is a booking site where you pay Trip.com for the ticket. Its Customer Service Guarantee page says the price of your flight will not change after payment is confirmed, and if a ticket is not issued after payment because of Trip.com's fault and the price rises, Trip.com covers the difference (conditions apply, including that it does not cover flights departing within 2 hours of booking).

The same flight can end up at different totals once fees, bags and payment charges are added, so check each checkout total.

Skyscanner, Trip.com and ShopBack for Singapore to Hokkaido

Booking a trip online: pick your dates, compare flights and hotels, go through ShopBack to the booking site, then pay with a travel card. For Hokkaido:

1. Pick your dates using the cheapest-month data above.
2. Compare flights on Skyscanner and compare hotels in Sapporo or your ski area.
3. Go through ShopBack Singapore to the site you choose, such as Trip.com.

Why ShopBack is a step before you book

Going through ShopBack gets you a cash rebate on the same order, at the same store. You still book on the site you chose, at its price. The step takes a few seconds:

1. Open the ShopBack Singapore app or website.
2. Search for Trip.com or Skyscanner.
3. Tap through from the ShopBack page and complete your booking as normal.
4. Once the booking is confirmed, 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.

Check the live rate on the Trip.com page on ShopBack Singapore on the day you book, as it can differ by booking type. What is eligible differs by site too, so read the store page before you tap through.

Do promo codes and ShopBack work on the same booking?

On Trip.com, using a promo, coupon or discount code can make the order ineligible for Cashback. Payment methods and booking types can also be excluded, so check the merchant's terms on the ShopBack store page before you pay.
