Closest Airport Manado (MDC) Getting There Depending on where in the World one travels from, various airlines offer different options. We flew from Los Angeles (LAX) non-stop to Singapore (SIN) and then flew Scoot Air - which I believe is operated by Singapore Airlines - to Manado (MDC). NOTE: the flight from Los Angeles to Singapore is long (about 15 hours) and there is a significant time difference. We opted to spend several days in Singapore before continuing to Indonesia. This was helped us get into the new time zone.
