How long does the journey take and what is the approximate distance?

With a typical 1-stop connection, total travel time ranges from about 8 hours (tight BLR connection on Air India Express) to 13+ hours when layovers are long.

Visa requirements for Indian passport holders travelling to Singapore
Indian citizens require a visa to enter Singapore. The good news: Singapore offers a straightforward 30-day tourist visa (Visit Pass) which can be applied online through the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website or through approved agents. Processing typically takes 3–5 business days. Alternatively, Indian travellers holding a valid US, UK, Australian, or Schengen visa may be eligible for a 96-hour visa-free transit or short-stay arrangement — check current ICA rules before travel. For full visa guidance, see /visas.
Best time to book for lower fares on this route
Fares on Mangalore–Singapore connections tend to be lowest when booked 6–10 weeks in advance for travel in the shoulder months of February–March and September–October. Peak surges occur around Diwali, Christmas–New Year, and Indian summer holidays (late April to mid-June). Travelling mid-week (Tuesday or Wednesday departures) typically yields marginally lower prices than weekend travel. Setting fare alerts on FlightGPT a couple of months before your intended date is the most reliable way to catch a dip.
Baggage allowances to keep in mind
Baggage rules vary by airline and fare class. Air India typically offers 25 kg checked baggage on international routes even in economy, while Air India Express and IndiGo international fares usually include 20 kg checked baggage in their base fare. Singapore Airlines economy tickets commonly include 25–30 kg. Carry-on is generally capped at 7–10 kg with a cabin bag limit of 55×35×25 cm. Always confirm your allowance at booking since bundled add-ons can push the total cost of budget-carrier tickets close to full-service prices.
