Singapore Low Cost Airlines
 
One of Southeast Asia's low cost giants, JetStar Asia operates numerous low cost routes from its hub at Singapore's Changi airport to destinations all over southeast asia.
 
And even as far northwest as Bangalore and Kolkata in India.
 
Note that JetStar Asia is the only Asian budget carrier at present connecting from Singapore direct to Hong Kong.
 
It's also the only Singaporean low cost airline flying to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap in Cambodia, Yangon in Myanmar and Taipei in Taiwan.
 
The main competitor airline to JetStar Asia, Singapore's Tiger Airways flies to one or two of the same desintations including Bangkok and Phuket in Thailand.
 
But note that in its bid to become a Ryanair-style lowest cost airline, Tiger Airways often prefers to fly to secondary airports - to Macau, for instance just across the water from Hong Kong, and to Clark Field, serving Manila, rather than to the Philippine capital's main airport.
 
Though Valueair was the first Asian low fare airline to fly to Australia, connecting Singapore to Perth, Tiger Airways is currently the only southeast asian low cost airline flying to Australia - now flying from Singapore to Darwin.
 
The low fare sister airline of JetStar Asia is only operating three routes to Indonesia at present.  While ValueAir's fares are not in the same league as those of TigerAirways or its sister carrier, it is the only low fare airline at present connecting Singapore to Denpasar on Bali.
 
For cheaper flights between Singapore and Jakarta see the Indonesian low cost airline Adam Air.

Southeast Asian low Cost Airline

 

Air Asia

The Thai branch of Air Asia operates a single shuttle route from Bangkok to Singapore for a cheaper fare - on average - than either JetStar or Tiger Airways.  If few cheap flights appear to be available for the time period you wish to travel, check out both competitor airlines.

 

Adam Air

Adam Air, Indonesia's only real independence low cost airline, mostly operates domestic routes within Indonesia.  It also operates one cheap shuttle connection between Jakarta and Singapore.

 

Fares vary, as ever, but Adam Air is cheaper by far than Valuair, theonly other low fare carrier operating between Singapore and the Indonesian capital.  Alternatively see Tiger Airways which connects Singapore to the Javanese city of Padang.

 

Bangkok Airways

Not a budget airline, Bangkok Airways nevertheless flies relatively cheap one-way flights direct from the island of Koh Samui to Singapore.  This may prove more convenient than travelling through southern Thailand and Malaysia or else travelling north to Bangkok where three genuine low cost carriers connect the Thai capital to Singapore.

 

Cebu Pacific Air

Cebu Pacific the low fare leader in the Philippines entered the market on March 1996 and pioneered the "low fare, great value" strategy in the Philippines aviation industry.  Serving more than 102 flights daily to 20 domestic & 7 international destinations: namely, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Incheon and Pusan.  From Singapore, one an book flies to Manila, Davao and Cebu.

 

Lion Airlines

Lion Airlines operate 37 planes to all of Indonesia's major cities and wondrous tourist desintations including Singapore, Penang and Kuala Lumur.
