Stephen Scourfield's Singapore

A travel account describes getting from Perth to Singapore with more than 50 flights per week, typically taking a little over five hours, and highlights competition from Singapore Airlines, Scoot, Qantas and Jetstar. Fares can drop to around $250 for a round trip during sales, while budget economy flights in October 2026 start at about $460. The piece also recommends business-class comfort and emphasizes Singapore’s scale and geography, noting it is about 50 km east-west and 27 km north-south, with roughly 745 square kilometers after land reclamation. It traces early maritime roots dating to British arrival in 1819 and the cooperative, cross-cultural heritage reflected in district names and neighborhoods.
