What is a stopover?
A stopover is a planned interruption in your flight itinerary at a specific location, other than your final destination, for a period longer than a typical layover. Layovers involve short waits (usually a few hours or less) to connect to your onward flight, whereas stopovers allow you to explore the stopover city for a longer duration, often ranging from a few hours to several days.
It's like adding an extra leg to your trip. It's deliberately planned and included in your itinerary to allow you to experience a new destination without booking a separate vacation. Stopovers are ideal after long journeys, helping you to break up the monotony of a long flight and avoid travel fatigue.
Some airlines offer special programs or fares for stopovers, making it a cost-effective way to explore a new place. For example, Singapore Airlines has a "Holiday Before the Holiday" program designed specifically for travellers who wish to explore Singapore during a stopover on their flight journey.
Things to do on a Singapore stopover
Even with limited time, Singapore is a fantastic place to add a stopover to your flight itinerary. You can experience Singapore's iconic landmarks and delicious cuisine. We recommend visiting:
Gardens by the Bay
Explore the futuristic Supertrees, take a stroll through the cooled conservatories like the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome, and witness the Spectra light and sound show in the evening at Gardens by the Bay. This is a must-visit for nature lovers or anyone looking for a unique experience during a Singapore stopover.
Marina Bay Sans SkyPark
For breathtaking panoramic views of Singapore's skyline, visit the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark. The observation deck, located 57 floors above ground, offer spectacular views of the city, including Gardens by the Bay and the Supertree Grove. It also has an infinity pool!
Chinatown
In Chinatown, you can visit historical temples like the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, browse lively street markets for souvenirs and sample authentic Chinese food at traditional eateries.
