As Singaporeans, travel has always been a breeze – we not only have the best airport in the world, but it's also one of the most well-connected, serving as a gateway between Southeast Asia and the world. Now, more good news, because Scoot has just announced new direct flights to a host of gorgeous destinations in Indonesia. It plugs the gap left behind when Jetstar Asia folded, giving us a whole new reason to book that spontaneous getaway.
Whether you’re dreaming of diving alongside manta rays in the Flores Sea, exploring Sumatra’s volcanic landscapes, or wandering through Central Java’s colonial streets, these new routes are opening up even more ways to explore Indonesia – all while keeping your budget intact.

Flights from Singapore to Labuan Bajo, the gateway to Komodo National Park, kick off on December 21, 2025, operating twice weekly. From there, flights from Singapore to Semarang will follow on December 23, with three weekly flights (ramping up to four from January onwards). The Sumatran city of Palembang will join the lineup on January 15, 2026, with four weekly flights from Singapore, and Medan will round things out with daily services starting February 1, 2026.
One-way fares start from around SGD 174 to Medan, SGD 192 to Palembang, SGD 201 to Semarang, and SGD 228 to Labuan Bajo – all inclusive of taxes and available to book now via Scoot’s website or app.
Scoot is also ramping up services across Southeast Asia from October 2025, adding more flights to some of the region’s most popular spots. Expect extra services to Bangkok, Bali, Jakarta, Koh Samui, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Manado, Penang, Surabaya, Vientiane and Yogyakarta, making it easier than ever to hop between island escapes and city adventures.
By February 2026, Scoot will be flying to 15 Indonesian cities and 83 destinations across 18 countries, strengthening its position as one of the most connected (and affordable) ways to explore the region.
And because Scoot knows the struggle of cramming everything into a single backpack, the airline’s 10kg carry-on allowance still stands – so you can bring that extra beach outfit without sweating the scale at check-in.
You can now check flight schedules and book your getaway via the Scoot website. And here's an extra tip: Singapore Airlines and Scoot's 'Time To Fly' Travel Fair is happening soon with more than 380,000 discounted tickets up for grabs – click through to find out when.
