Bengaluru is the tech corridor route — steady demand year-round from professionals, students and families. Connections through Singapore are strong and the airport is one of India's easiest.
How you actually get there.
Singapore offers the most reliable single-stop service at around 20 hours. Air India and the Gulf carriers are worth comparing if your dates are fixed.

Timing moves this fare more than anything else.
Fares are flatter across the year on this route than on the northern ones, which means less to gain from timing — but also less risk of a nasty December spike.
Relative fare pressure across a typical year on the NZ–India corridor — how demand usually moves, not a forecast for any specific date.
Things worth knowing before you pay.
Bengaluru's airport is a long way from the city. Factor 60–90 minutes of ground transfer into your plans.
If you're relocating rather than visiting, ask us about excess baggage before you book — it's much cheaper pre-purchased.
Business travellers: ask about flexible fare classes. The cheapest ticket is rarely the right one if your dates might move.
