Flying to Bali? Routing through Singapore is hands-down the best way to go.
Singapore Airlines leads the way with seamless connections, gourmet dining, and world-class service.
YUKIDrawing from over 10 trips, here is my insider take on why this is the premier choice.
This route is very safe and reliable even for first-time visitors to Bali, so I hope you find this guide helpful!
Why I Love Flying with Singapore Airlines
Consistently ranked among the world's best, Singapore Airlines sets the gold standard for global travel.
Convenient flights to Bali depart from major hubs including Narita, Haneda, and Kansai.
I’ve flown this route via Singapore over 10 times from Tokyo (Narita/Haneda)
YUKII had my doubts at first, but after 10+ transits, I’ve never missed a connection—it's that reliable.
With high on-time performance and excellent transit support, even first-timers can fly with total peace of mind.
In-flight Meal Photos & Actual Menus (Economy Class)
Let’s take a look at the celebrated inflight menu.
Meals on Flights: Japan to Singapore
Beef teriyaki-style with rice.
YUKIThe quality of the food is excellent.
Since it was a return flight from Bali to Japan, I opted for the Japanese meal.It served chicken teriyaki, simmered radish and carrots, and soba noodles.
It also comes with cheese and crackers, which I absolutely love—I could go for seconds!
It pairs perfectly with wine.
In-flight Meal: Bali to Singapore
The flight between Bali and Singapore is short (about 2.5 hours), but it's great that they still serve a full meal!
The menu included beef stew with mashed potatoes, bread, cheese and crackers, and dessert. Wine was also available for order! 🍷
Knowing that a "proper meal" will be served really helps soothe any travel fatigue.
You can request special meals from 6 weeks up to 48 hours before departure (timing may vary by flight).
YUKII ordered the Hindu Non-Vegetarian Meal (HNML)
It was a delicious chicken curry served with basmati rice
and chapati.
Other options like low-salt, vegan, and gluten-free meals are also available.
Transit Procedures & Time at Changi Airport
Changi Airport is globally renowned for making layovers effortless and intuitive.
With clear signage and helpful staff, navigating the terminal is a breeze even for first-timers.
Upon arrival, check your departure gate first. If needed, you can take the free Skytrain to move between terminals.
The shuttle service makes moving between terminals quick and easy, taking only a few minutes.
Even with a long layover, you won't get bored with the incredible selection of dining, shopping, and free lounges.
Minimum connection times can be around 1 hour.
YUKIIn that case, you'll likely only have time to head straight to your next gate! (lol)
Since there are several flights a day from Singapore to Bali, you can sometimes choose a flight with a longer layover to enjoy the airport.
You will receive two boarding passes at your initial departure point. Be sure to check them, as the terminal is often printed there.
YUKIPro tip: If you have a long layover, double-check your gate an hour before departure as changes can happen.
