Singapore cheap air!! ride experience

Always think of Phuket. From Beijing to Phuket major has two lines, one is to go to Bangkok, Phuket, is first to Singapore and then go Phuket. Most Beijing travel agency is the first line, but also have the use of the second kind of way. For example, recently Ctrip has a Shanghai based Phuket free line is first to Singapore to Phuket. Before starting, carefully investigated the line fares. Discover Beijing to Bangkok or Singapore ticket discount prices are the same, probably 3000RMB. From Bangkok to Phuket can choose budget carriers have Air Asia, Bangkok air, Nok air (Bangkok air and Nok air mainly operating domestic routes), the fare is around 1600B (about 350RMB). From Singapore to Phuket you can also select budget carriers. Singapore local budget carriers mainly Tiger Airways and Jetstar Asia. But there are only Tiger Airways from Singapore to Phuket flights (as if it should have Singapore AirAisa to Phuket's flights, but in my trips that few days did not). It's the price of about $ 70 (also about 350RMB). Therefore, these two lines of the actual price is the same, however, transfer from Singapore, the total travel time to approximately 2 hours. But taking into account the time of the flights, I chose to go from Singapore, the latter is more suitable for me.

Front-verbose when, now say the point.

Since I only have Singapore visa, so here I will consider to go opportunities does not have any problems. In fact, as everyone knows, if just half-turn, not transit (i.e. not through Immigration, just like in the transfer of residence halls), is not required visa, this is no country should be the case. I have a question on Ctrip, friends gave me the answer is in transit without visa in Singapore. By the way, Chinese tourists in Singapore visa-free transit time can to Singapore City tourism policy is too old, it is not possible.

Long heard that Singapore's Changi Airport how great.

I'm on their website, this is a humble place found such a message: "Transfer passengers connecting to or from budget airlines must clear immigration, collect their arrival check-in bags (if any) at the baggage claim hall, and for their connecting flight check-in out of Singapore at the departure check-in hall." See? from bughet airlines to or to the budget of the passengers must clear arilines immigration to turn. This information is not in your tickets airline Web site tell you, they would only say that you need in two hours before such. Check-in Need to clear immigration? this is not required visa? (to Singapore immigration website for information, you want to clear immigration, it must have a visa, for Chinese tourists). Knowing this information, I already booked tickets and are leaving the next day, I immediately phoned, Changi Airport help I will phone go to Tiger's flight operation. The results were confirmed. At that time was so angry but also very reluctant to do so, because their website just the ticket, and you can enter is indeed they must tell you. But the Tiger's service is also good, he told me to contact with them at the airport, but also informs me it is better not to bring portable luggage other than baggage.

Now I see.

First of all, you want to know the budget airlines not only means that the prices are low, also means that they may not provide the services provided by regular airlines. Including no machine catering, but most importantly, he does it for you automatically to your luggage to your next flight, which is Tiger's website said they have no routes connecting flights in meaning. So if you have baggage, when you reach the changi Airport, you must first pass arrival immigration, then claim your baggage, and immigration through departure, you can continue your trip. Don't know what to consider for Tiger, it seems this can put his check-in counter on Transfer Lounges, which have their own baggage to the baggage claim, and then after departure Transfer Lounges, immigration arriving without baggage that you can directly Transfer Lounges check-in. However, in fact, you Transfer Lounges is Tiger's not found, it check-in counter in the departure hall check-in. Therefore, even if you have no baggage, you must pass through immigration, thereFor check-in.

OK, take off, sat Air China's red eye flight.

Meet the Changi Airport with the airport's free telephone contact with tiger, and then to the immigration Department to clarify the situation with the staff, they are certainly won't let you in the past, in short, I will always stay in the immigration hall, after staff a lair, I get my boarding pass. You really want to thank you Tiger that sister's help (This is a help, this is the sister told me, this isn't their obligations, hehe).

The previously mentioned, the "Transfer passengers connecting to or from budget airlines must clear immigration, collect their arrival check-in bags (if any) at the baggage claim hall, and for their connecting flight check-in out of Singapore at the departure check-in hall".

If you follow the site said, is it not time for me to return to immigration? In fact, if you have baggage, and of course also to clear immigration, if there is no shipping, depends on your next flight, its Transfer Lounges have check-in counter (it should be said that the transfer desk). Since my return is go Air China, of course, there would be no problem, do not need this kind of trouble.

In addition to say a few words, the previously mentioned Changi for budget airlines in turn for special provisions to include air asia, but I did see a transfer lounges air asia's service marks, is it different? I turn time is short, so before I could ask.

In addition, the airport staff told me that they are new terminal, when the tiger, the company also will move, so if you have a chance to ride on their flights, be sure to first find out Oh!

In fact, tiger, jetstar and valuair like Singapore local cheap air can sometimes be a good choice, they offer a lot to Thailand, Malaysia, Viet Nam, the Philippines, Indonesia and Hong Kong airlines.

Well, the simple things that a long, I wish you a successful journey!
