What this means in plain terms:

- November: a shoulder month, with rain falling to 163.5 mm and sunshine climbing back above 200 hours.
When are flights from Singapore to Phu Quoc cheapest?
Flights are usually cheapest when fewer people want to travel: in the wet season from May to October, outside Singapore school holidays and away from Chinese New Year and the year-end break. There is no published fare average we can quote for every month, so treat demand as your guide and compare real fares for your dates.
The 2026 school holidays, according to the MOE school calendar, show the kind of dates that push fares up. The March, June and September breaks have passed; the year-end break is still ahead:
- 14 to 22 March (March school holidays)
- 30 May to 28 June (June school holidays)
- 5 to 13 September (September school holidays)
- 21 November to 31 December (year-end school holidays)
The Chinese New Year public holidays fell on 17 and 18 February in 2026, according to the MOE calendar, which is also a busy travel window.
Putting weather and demand together:
- Good weather, fewer clashes: January, February and early March, avoiding the Chinese New Year week and the March school break. Chinese New Year moves every year, so check the dates for your travel year.
- No Singapore school holidays: the rest of October 2026, if you are happy to plan around rain.
- Shoulder pick: the first three weeks of November, before the 21 November school break, when the rain is easing.
Planning for early 2027? MOE publishes each year's school calendar at moe.gov.sg/calendar, so check the 2027 dates before you book.
To find the lowest fare inside your month, search a few different departure days on Traveloka and Trip.com. Midweek flights are often priced differently from Friday and Sunday departures.
Best time to visit Phu Quoc from Singapore in 2026: what to sort out first
Before you book, check flights, entry rules and where you want to stay on the island.
- Flights: Scoot flies direct between Singapore and Phu Quoc, according to the Phu Quoc International Airport route listing at the time of writing. Vietnam Airlines uses Phu Quoc as a hub and VietJet Air bases aircraft there, so one-stop fares through Ho Chi Minh City are the usual alternative.
- Entry: Singapore passport holders can stay in Vietnam without a visa for up to 30 days, according to Vietnam's visa exemption list.
- The island: Phu Quoc National Park, set up in 2001, covers 336.57 square km of the north of the island, and the Phu Quoc Marine Protected Area covers 187 square km of sea at the north and south ends. Well-known sights include Bai Sao beach, the Hon Thom cable car, Dinh Cau shrine and Vinpearl Safari.
Where are the best deals for Phu Quoc from Singapore in 2026?
The best Phu Quoc deals usually come from comparing flights and hotels separately, booking each where it is priced well, and going through ShopBack before every payment.
- Flights: compare the direct Scoot fare with one-stop fares on Traveloka and Trip.com for the same dates. Check whether checked baggage is included, since resort trips often need it.
- Resorts and hotels: compare the same property and room type on Agoda, Traveloka and Trip.com, and look at the final price with taxes and fees.
- Flight and hotel together: Trip.com and Traveloka both sell flights and hotels, so it is worth pricing a bundle against booking each part separately.
- Sale periods: travel sites run their own sales through the year, such as 11.11 and 12.12. If your dates are flexible, a sale can lower the base price. You still go through ShopBack before paying.

According to Trip.com's loyalty page at the time of writing, it has six tiers from Silver to Black Diamond; Silver starts when you register and Gold needs 3 eligible bookings.

How to compare fairly:
- Search the same flight or the same resort room for the same dates.
