Cheap Flights from Singapore to Abu Dhabi Starting at $179

Singapore’s air travel is centered on Changi Airport (SIN), a major international hub known for full-service carriers and extensive long-haul connectivity; budget carriers also operate here but low-cost terminals are limited. Changi sits about 20–25 km east of the city centre and is typically reached by Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) in roughly 30–40 minutes, by taxi in 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, or by shuttle services—expect fares to vary by service and time of day. The airport is usually perceived as mid-to-upscale on comfort and amenities, with plentiful lounges and retail; the main downside can be longer walks between terminals. For private or charter options, Seletar Airport (XSP) to the north serves general aviation and regional turboprops, closer to some suburban districts but with far fewer facilities and scheduled flights.

Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the emirate’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers, Gulf-based airlines and some regional low-cost operators. It’s positioned as a premium hub with frequent long-haul connections, while Al Bateen Executive handles business aviation and private flights. AUH lies about 30–40 km from downtown Abu Dhabi; road transfer by taxi or ride-hailing can take roughly 30–45 minutes depending on traffic and usually costs in the mid-range for the UAE, while express bus lines offer cheaper but slower options (around 45–60 minutes). Pros: modern facilities, good international connectivity and plentiful lounges; cons: longer transfer time to the city than some smaller airports and occasional congestion at peak periods.
