A NEW holiday destination is set to be on the cards for Brits thanks to a new flight route launching next year. <\/strong><\/p>\n Singapore Airlines has confirmed that the new route will operate from an airport in London. <\/p>\n According to Travel Gossip, the flag carrier is set to launch flights from London Gatwick to Singapore Changi International Airport from next year. <\/p>\n Five weekly flights will depart from London Gatwick at 10.15am, arriving in Singapore at 6.20am the following day, with a flight time of 13 hours. <\/p>\n The early arrival into Singapore will give passengers the ability to "seamlessly" transfer onto connecting flights to southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, according to the airline. <\/p>\n Flights from London Gatwick to Singapore will depart from March 2024.<\/p>\n The new route will be operated by an Airbus A350-900, and it will feature three cabins, including Business Class, Premium Economy, andEconomy.\u00a0<\/p>\n Singapore Airline's existing flights from\u00a0London Heathrow\u00a0and Manchester Airport will operate as normal.<\/p>\n Singapore Changi International Airport is the main entry point for holidaymakers entering the\u00a0city-state. <\/p>\n The destination has yet to become as popular as other more well-known tourist spots in Southeast Asia like Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n But there are plenty of reasons to visit the city-state, including its Formula One street circuit, which is set to return in 2024. <\/p>\n In addition the the adrenaline-inducing race, there are other attractions, including a tour of the famous graffiti artwork by Singapore\u2019s answer to\u00a0Banksy, Yip Yew Chong. <\/p>\n The city-state also has some of the cheapest Michelin-starred meals on the planet, with a plate costing as little as \u00a32 at Liao Fan Hawker Chan in the Chinatown Complex Marke. <\/p>\n There's also the Gardens by the Bay, which is home to ever-changing displays at the Flower Dome \u2014 a towering indoor waterfall at The Cloud Forest \u2014 as well as the 160ft vertical gardens at Supertree Grove.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Singapore Airlines was named the best airline in the world by Skytrax, a company that rates air\u00a0transport. <\/p>\n Skytrax independently analysed\u00a0the performance of 325 of the biggest airlines in the world from September 2022 until May 2023.<\/p>\n In the rankings,\u00a0Singapore Airlines\u00a0took the top spot, scoring highly for its first-class cabin.<\/p>\n Edward Plaisted of Skytrax said: "It is a fabulous achievement for Singapore Airlines to achieve this World\u2019s Best Airline title for 2023.<\/p>\n "Singapore\u00a0Airlines achieved excellent results in many of the award categories, with the highlight being recognition of their First Class cabin as the World\u2019s Best First Class." <\/p>\n Singapore Airlines isn't the only airline opening new routes from the UK to holiday destinations across the globe.<\/p>\n British Airways\u00a0will be resuming flights from London Stansted for the first time since the Covid-19\u00a0pandemic.<\/p>\n The flag carrier has confirmed that three new routes will depart from the London airport, with prices starting at \u00a336 for a one-way ticket.<\/p>\n Budget airline Ryanair is\u00a0launching flights to Spain,\u00a0Portugal, and\u00a0Malta, from Norwich Airport.<\/p>\n As it stands, the airport only serves a handful of foreign destinations, which means the\u00a0Ryanair\u00a0expansion is great\u00a0news\u00a0for holidaymakers in East Anglia.<\/p>\n The flights will run on both Mondays and Fridays, according to the aviation website\u00a0Simple Flying.<\/p>\n Ryanair is also launching flights\u00a0from Cornwall Airport and Cardiff Airport, with new routes to Paris and Faro among some of those announced.<\/p>\n
