Singapore Airlines Time to Fly 2026: Promotional Airfares

Here are some of the officially publicised Singapore Airlines economy return fares:

These are advertised all-in starting fares for selected 2027 travel dates, not guaranteed prices for a family booking. The family airfare column simply multiplies the advertised per-person starting fare by four.

Booking period: 23–30 October 2026
Singapore Airlines outbound travel: 1 January–30 September 2027
Scoot promotional travel: 9 November 2026–15 October 2027

Selected travel dates and blackout periods apply.

Planning a December 2026 holiday? SQ's advertised Time to Fly fares do not cover December 2026 departures. Check Scoot's eligible travel dates or compare regular Singapore Airlines fares instead.

For March, June and September 2027 school holidays, check availability early, as promotional seats may not be offered on every date.

Best Family Holiday Destinations from Singapore

Not all winter holidays involve heavy snow or freezing temperatures.

Some destinations offer comfortably cool weather for sightseeing, while others allow families to enjoy a few days of snow play before returning to milder cities.

Family Holiday Budget Comparison

These are illustrative winter-season budgets for two adults and two children, including economy airfare, accommodation, meals, local transport and typical attractions. They are not live package quotations or calculations using confirmed promotional seats. Actual school holiday prices may be higher.

1. Taipei, Taiwan: Cool Weather Without the Winter Freeze

SQ promotional return fare: From S$388 per person
Family airfare reference: From S$1,552 for four
Suggested duration: 6D5N

Taipei is one of our favourite recommendations for families travelling to a cooler destination for the first time.

December temperatures are generally comfortable enough for sweaters and light jackets, making sightseeing relatively easy even with young children.

Things to do with children:

• Visit Taipei Zoo and take the Maokong Gondola.

• Explore Jiufen's charming old streets.

• Experience Beitou's hot springs.

• Visit night markets for Taiwanese street food.

• Explore Taipei 101 and family-friendly museums.

Snowfall in Taipei is rare, so treat this as a cool-weather getaway rather than a guaranteed snow holiday.

Why choose Taipei? Relatively short flights, excellent public transport and plenty of affordable food choices.

2. Hong Kong: Disneyland, Christmas Lights and Family Fun

SQ Time to Fly destination: From S$388 per person
Suggested duration: 5D4N
Estimated family budget: S$3,000–4,800

If your children love Disney characters and festive decorations, Hong Kong is a wonderful year-end getaway.

The cooler December weather makes outdoor attractions much more comfortable than during the summer months.

Things to do with children:

• Spend a day at Hong Kong Disneyland.

• Explore Ocean Park.

• Take the Ngong Ping cable car.

• Enjoy the festive displays around Victoria Harbour.

• Explore markets, shopping centres and waterfront promenades.

Hong Kong doesn't experience natural snowfall in the city, but the festive atmosphere offers plenty of seasonal excitement.

Why choose Hong Kong? A short flight from Singapore and an easy itinerary for families with younger children.

3. Hangzhou & Shanghai: Hello Kitty, Disneyland and Winter Scenery

SQ promotional return fare to Hangzhou: From S$383 per person
Family airfare reference: From S$1,552 for four
Suggested duration: 8D7N

For families looking for a combination of theme parks, cultural attractions and cooler weather, Hangzhou and Shanghai offer plenty of possibilities.

A holiday here can combine the natural beauty of Hangzhou's West Lake with the excitement of Shanghai Disneyland.

Things to do with children:

• Visit Hello Kitty Park in Anji, Zhejiang.

• Explore Hangzhou's West Lake.

• Spend one or two days at Shanghai Disneyland.

• Visit The Bund and Shanghai's shopping districts.

• Enjoy family-friendly museums and indoor attractions.

Winter temperatures can be chilly, but snowfall in either city is not reliable.

Families hoping for snow should plan a dedicated snow attraction rather than depend on natural snowfall.

Why choose Hangzhou and Shanghai? A mix of theme parks, sightseeing and convenient high-speed rail connections.

4. Chengdu, China: Giant Pandas and Snow Adventures

SQ Time to Fly destination: From S$371 per person
Suggested duration: 8D7N
Estimated family budget: S$3,500–5,800

If your children are hoping to experience actual snow for the first time, Chengdu is worth considering.

While Chengdu itself experiences relatively mild winter temperatures, the surrounding mountain regions can offer snow activities.

This makes it possible to combine several days of city sightseeing with a dedicated snow excursion.

Things to do with children:

• Visit the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.

• Explore Kuanzhai Alley.

• Visit Dujiangyan.

• Plan a snow-play excursion to Xiling Snow Mountain, subject to seasonal conditions.

• Enjoy shopping, local food and cultural attractions.

For younger children, consider staying overnight near the snow resort rather than attempting a tiring return journey in one day.

Why choose Chengdu? Pandas, cultural experiences and the possibility of genuine snow play without spending the entire holiday in a freezing city.

5. Osaka & Kyoto, Japan: Theme Parks and a Milder Japanese Winter

SQ Time to Fly destination: From S$713 per person
Suggested duration: 8D7N
Estimated family budget: S$5,000–8,000

Japan is a perennial favourite for Singaporean families, and Osaka is particularly suitable for those travelling with children.

Compared with northern Japan, Osaka and Kyoto experience relatively milder winters.

Things to do with children:

• Explore Universal Studios Japan and Super Nintendo World.

• Visit Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan.

• Take a day trip to Kyoto.

• Visit Nara Park to see the deer.

• Enjoy Japanese food, shopping and seasonal illuminations.

Snow is not guaranteed in Osaka or Kyoto, but a suitable mountain excursion may provide snow-play opportunities.

Why choose Osaka? Excellent transport, familiar food choices and attractions that appeal to both children and adults.

6. Seoul, South Korea: A Full Winter Experience

SQ Time to Fly destination: From S$592 per person
Suggested duration: 8D7N
Estimated family budget: S$4,500–7,500

For families ready to embrace colder weather, Seoul offers a more traditional winter experience.

Temperatures frequently fall below freezing, so proper winter clothing is essential.

Things to do with children:

• Visit Lotte World.

• Explore Gyeongbokgung Palace.

• Enjoy Christmas lights and winter shopping streets.

• Visit a ski resort or snow-sledding attraction.

• Explore indoor museums and aquariums.

Snowfall in Seoul itself is not guaranteed, but dedicated winter resorts are better suited for planned snow activities.

Why choose Seoul? A proper winter atmosphere with plenty of indoor and outdoor attractions.

Packing for Winter? Our Large Luggage Favourites Are Back!

One thing families often underestimate about winter holidays is just how much space winter clothing takes up.

Even for a week-long trip, thick jackets, sweaters, thermal wear and extra shoes can fill a suitcase surprisingly quickly.

And if you're travelling with children, you'll probably want space for their favourite snacks, toys and souvenirs too!

The good news? Two of our popular large-capacity luggage models are back in stock at Luggage Outlet Singapore.

Cavernous 29-Inch Expandable Luggage

A spacious choice for winter holidays and family packing.

Our Cavernous series features a roomy top-opening design, making it convenient to organise bulkier belongings.

• Expandable capacity, offering approximately 15% additional packing space.

It's a practical option for families who prefer consolidating their winter clothing into fewer suitcases.

Our packing tip: If you're travelling as a family of four, consider combining a large check-in suitcase for winter clothing with a smaller cabin bag for essential items. Always check your airline's baggage allowance, weight limits and size restrictions before departure.

How to Make the Most of the Time to Fly Promotion

Before booking, here are a few tips to help your family stretch its travel budget.

1. Compare flights for the whole family. Advertised starting fares may not be available for all four passengers on your preferred dates.

2. Check the school holiday calendar. Promotional fares may be more limited during peak departure periods.

3. Look beyond the airfare. Accommodation, attraction tickets and transport can sometimes cost more than the flights themselves.

4. Balance expensive attractions with free activities. A day at Disneyland or Universal Studios can be followed by a relaxed day exploring parks, markets and neighbourhoods.

5. Plan snow activities carefully. If snow play is important, check resort opening dates, snow conditions and the availability of suitable activities for young children.

6. Pack according to the destination. Hong Kong and Taipei generally require fewer layers than Seoul or mountain snow resorts.
