Singapore is really a good place for a weekend getaway, especially from Hong Kong. The flying time is around 3.5hours. Besides Cathay Pacific and Singapore airlines, United airlines and budget airline, Jetstar also operates night flight from Hong Kong to Singapore. So travellers could take last flight departure at the night of Friday after work. Although you reach Singapore at midnight of Saturday, it is easy for you to find a cab at arrival hall.
