A Complete, Updated List of Fifth-Freedom Routes

Cash or redemption? Do you marry with connecting flight to Europe?
I’ve only paid with cash a few times DPS-SIN on KLM.
The last time I was picking up a next day J flight on QR SIN-DOH and stayed at the Crowne Plaza. The last KLM flight was only about $400 in J for memory and was an excellent flight.

DPS-SIN?
 
Saudia now has a fifth-freedom from Singapore to Denpasar (SV856/857) on the same route as KLM. While this was not a fifth-freedom at first (all passengers flew to or from JED) when it launched in March 2025, these rights were granted in August. I’m going to fly it next week, and I have very high expectations from SV (I don’t drink!), especially with its modern-looking refresh two years ago — those 787s in the new livery look spiffy.

Surprising that this was missed, given how comprehensive and global this list is otherwise!


Thanks for posting this. We did actually have SIN-DPS with Saudia on our list previously, but I removed it after doing an audit of the flights in our list in July because Saudia wasn't actually selling seats on the fifth-freedom sector back then. We've added it back to the list now!
