5. Top Destinations Worth Booking Right Now
With promotions available across the board, these are the destinations our team thinks are worth prioritising for your next trip from Singapore:
Tokyo & Osaka, Japan
Japan continues to be one of the most popular destinations for Singaporeans in 2026, and for good reason. Cherry blossom season may have passed, but late April and May are actually an ideal time to visit — the weather is pleasant, the crowds have thinned slightly, and hotel prices are more reasonable. Book early for the summer months if you’re eyeing July or August.
Bali, Indonesia
Always a favourite, Bali offers unbeatable value for money — especially with regional fares starting from $198. May is one of the best months to visit, as the island sits on the cusp between wet and dry seasons, with warm sunny days and lush green landscapes. The cultural calendar is also rich, with traditional Balinese ceremonies taking place throughout the month.
Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok remains one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic cities for food, nightlife, shopping, and culture. With direct flights from as little as $198 and frequent promotional fares from both Singapore Airlines and Scoot, there’s never been a better time to plan a long weekend. Don’t miss the street food scene along Yaowarat (Chinatown) and the new wave of rooftop bars in the Silom and Sukhumvit districts.
Melbourne & Sydney, Australia
Australia’s two biggest cities are well worth the longer flight time. May marks the beginning of autumn Down Under — perfect weather for exploring outdoor markets, wine country, and world-class restaurants. Look out for Singapore Airlines’ promotional business class fares to Australia, which regularly appear on MileLion and Seedly travel deal alerts.
London & Paris, Europe
May is arguably the best month to visit Europe — warm and sunny without the peak summer crowds. Singapore Airlines flies direct to London Heathrow, while connecting services are available to virtually every major European city. If you’ve been saving miles, this is a great time to redeem for a Business Class reward seat to Europe.
Tips for Finding the Best Deals
- Be flexible with dates: Flying on a Tuesday or Wednesday is typically cheaper than weekends. Adjust your departure date by a day or two and the savings can be significant.
- Set fare alerts: Use Google Flights or Skyscanner to set fare alerts for your target destination. You’ll get notified when prices drop.
- Book early: For popular destinations like Japan during peak seasons, booking 3–6 months in advance is advisable. For last-minute regional trips, Scoot and Jetstar often drop prices close to departure.
- Stack your credit card rewards: Use a miles credit card when booking flights to earn additional air miles on top of any promotional fares. Cards like the DBS Altitude, UOB PRVI Miles, or Citi PremierMiles are popular choices for Singapore frequent flyers.
- Check The MileLion: Singapore’s most comprehensive travel hacking resource at milelion.com regularly publishes deal alerts, mistake fares, and redemption sweet spots. It’s required reading for any Singaporean travel enthusiast.
Don’t Wait Too Long
Promotional fares have limited seat availability, and the best deals disappear fast — especially on popular routes to Japan and Australia. If any of the offers above appeal to you, our advice is simple: check the fare, confirm it works for your travel dates, and book it.
Happy travels, Singapore. The world is waiting.
