Peak and off season. When to get the best deal
As there is little change in Singapore’s weather, travellers can expect the same steamy, tropical temperatures year round. There are peak travel times however, and these include popular holidays such as Christmas, Chinese New Year, National Day and during other religious celebrations. January and February are perhaps the busiest times due to Chinese New Year.
Travel should be booked in advance if possible, but if looking for a last minute low fare, consider the low-fare airline options. Singapore’s low-fare airline, Scoot, operates daily from Australia, while Air Asia X provides connections via Hong Kong. Alternate routes via other Asian cities can also generate lower fares during peak travel times.
Getting to and leaving the airport
Singapore’s Changi Airport sits on the eastern end of Singapore Island about 20km away from the city centre. The city can be reached via the ECP (East Coast Parkway) in about 30 minutes by taxi. Fares are charged by the metered rate, however there is an additional surcharge when leaving the airport.
A rail service also operates between the airport and the city. The MRT station is located between Terminals 2 and 3. MRT hours of operation are from 05.30 to approximately 11pm. Passengers must transfer at Tanah Mereh Station when travelling between the city centre and the airport.
