There are no direct flights from any Australian cities to Ipoh. The most direct route to Ipoh is via Singapore.

This involves flying to Singapore Changi Airport from major Australian cities (served by Singapore Airlines, Qantas, and other carriers), then taking a separate flight to Ipoh. While this route may sometimes offer competitive fares, it typically involves longer total travel time compared to the KLIA route.

From Singapore to Ipoh, flights are operated by regional carriers and typically take around 1.5 hours. When booking this route, ensure adequate connection time at Changi Airport for immigration and terminal transfers. Note that flights between Singapore and Ipoh are less frequent than those from KLIA, so careful planning is essential.
