From Adelaide, Singapore Airlines is often the quickest way to India because the whole trip is on one airline with bags checked through.
Routes to India and onward
Singapore Airlines flies non-stop from Singapore to Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata and Ahmedabad. Schedule sources disagree on how many days a week Singapore–Ahmedabad runs, so we check the day you want.
For Amritsar, Singapore Airlines connects to its low-cost sister airline Scoot, which flies Singapore–Amritsar about four times a week. Book both on one ticket so bags go through, and check which baggage allowance applies on the Scoot flight.
Singapore Airlines and Air India expanded their codeshare in 2026, so some itineraries include an Air India flight within India.
Economy baggage
Singapore Airlines uses the weight system on routes between Australia and India:
- Economy Lite and Value: 25 kg
- Economy Standard and Flexi: 30 kg

What it's good for, and what to watch
Good for
- Families with children. Changi is easy to get around, with short transfers between Singapore Airlines' terminals.
- Parents on Indian passports. Singapore's immigration authority (ICA) says passengers who stay in the transit area with onward boarding passes don't need a visa. See our Singapore stopover guide.
- Short total journey times to South India: Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kochi are often 13–18 hours from the east coast.
Watch-outs
- Lite fares are restrictive. Changes and refunds cost more, so pick the fare type with your plans in mind.
- The Scoot connection to Amritsar runs on fewer days and Scoot is a low-cost airline, with a different onboard service.
- Adelaide frequency and start dates for the extra flights differ between sources, so we confirm the schedule when we quote.
- Western Sydney is Singapore-only at launch. It's handy for families in Sydney's west, but check the connection times in Singapore before choosing it over Kingsford Smith.
Where Singapore Airlines appears on our route pages
It's one of the main options on nearly every route we cover, including Adelaide to Delhi, Adelaide to Bengaluru, Brisbane to Mumbai, Brisbane to Hyderabad, Melbourne to Kochi, Sydney to Chennai and Sydney to Ahmedabad. For premium economy on the way to India, Brisbane's SQ265/266 gets it from 1 November 2026, which can suit elderly parents.
