These are the cheapest destinations to fly to from Singapore in 2026

If your January brain is already fried from trying to stretch your holiday budget before you’ve even packed your bags, Skyscanner has clocked the struggle with a fix – the travel site has released a list of the top 10 cheapest places to fly to in 2026, alongside an all-new Cheapest Destination Planner, created for Singaporean travellers who want a getaway without the spreadsheet-induced headache.

Topping the list of cheapest getaways are crowd-favourites like Phuket, Manila and Bali, with return fares hovering around the low-$200s. Vietnam and Malaysia also make a strong showing, with Phu Quoc and Kuching offering slower, softer escapes that won’t punish your bank account. And if you’re feeling ambitious, good news – long-hauls like Perth or China still sneak in under $520.

For those who enjoy hunting down deals and plotting routes yourself, check out Skyscanner’s latest Cheapest Destination Planner, designed for travellers who want quick wins: places that are easy to get to (we’re talking under 10 hours of travel time), easy on the wallet, and don’t require weeks of research. Not sure about you, but for us, that sounds like a dream. 

Simply pick the month you want to travel in, browse the 10 cheapest destinations for that period, check out why they’re worth visiting, the average return fare and the cheapest day to fly, then click through to flights or hotels once something catches your eye.

There are also search hacks that could shave some previous dollars off your fare. Use ‘Drops’ to flag flight prices that have fallen by at least 20 per cent (refreshes hourly), and ‘Everywhere’ to see the cheapest destinations worldwide. It’s also smart to mix airlines and nearby airports to find better deals and smoother check-ins, or use multi-city trips to add up to six legs and get more out of one airfare.

Here’s Skyscanner’s top 10 cheapest destinations for 2026, along with their average return flight prices:

1. Phuket, Thailand – $236
2. Manila, Philippines – $240
3. Bali, Indonesia – $247
4. Phu Quoc, Vietnam – $324
5. Kuching, Malaysia – $349
6. Taipei, Taiwan – $408
7. Xiamen, China – $437
8. Chongqing, China – $474
9. Perth, Australia – $503
10. Harbin, China – $517
