Currently travel abroad, particularly Singapore, no longer a luxury. It turned out that anyone can travel cheaply and easily.
Increased travel, especially abroad shows the increasing tourist activities no longer just an extra activity. But it has become a major requirement that done routinely.
The emergence of low cost airlines, which offer fares flights abroad are very cheap and also government policy to eliminate the fiscal costs abroad since January 2011 last. These things become part of improving and changing the habits of people to travel abroad.
Today, with increasingly easy access to the internet, we can arrange our own trips. Although the state near Singapore, only the flight takes about 1 hour 20 minutes from Jakarta. Fixed it helps us pay attention to the following points.
Prepare travel documents, ie passports. Passport is an official document that shows our identity as an Indonesian citizen who travels abroad.
Passport validity period is five years and renewable. Passports are treated to all citizens of all ages, meaning that the newborn child must make his own passport.
Please note today many countries, especially Singapore requires passport validity at least 6 months to get into the country. Even a low-cost airlines will not dispatch the passengers who have a passport with validity less than 6 months.
Should be taken care of its own passports and made well in advance of departure. Because, for some airlines, at the time of the booking process through the internet, must include each prospective passenger passport numbers of each.
Consider the cost of flights and the cost of staying. The cost of the trip to Singapore is largely determined by the cost of flights and cost of stay. This means that if we can save money on both these charges, then the total cost we should spend to be lower.
To get cheap tickets, we can utilize the time given airlines promo. We could use the site search cheap airline tickets and lodging for the entire year, like the site.
As an alternative to hotels, we can stay at the lodge or backpackers hostel located throughout Singapore. In fact we can also live in some apartments run by individuals with a very strategic location and the price is more affordable than hotels.
Use different flights and routes. Do not hesitate to use a different flight or transit route to get the cheapest price. Direct flights to Singapore is indeed faster and practical.
But there are times when the price offered is not in accordance with the schedule and our budget. Take advantage of alternate routes or airlines. Suppose that pass through Batam or Johor Bahru.
Learn about customs and practices prevailing in the country of Singapore. There are so many rules imposed on any person residing in the country. Suppose that banned smoking in public places and enclosed, banned chewing gum, eating and drinking are prohibited on the train, and so on.
If a violation, punishable by fine or imprisonment will await us. But these rules should not make us traumatized, so we do not dare do anything. In the end will only make our journey into a mess.
Take advantage of the annual event. As the big day celebration of tradition and culture of the typical state of Singapore, to see more of that State.
Sometimes those who love shopping, this time often many offers attractive discounts. But the best shopping time in Singapore is at Christmas and New Year, because all the stores give big discounts.
Use public transportation such as trains and buses. Many people in Indonesia who do not understand how to ride the MRT and buses in Singapore, because it considers troubled and troublesome.
But this view is totally wrong, because both types of transport is very cheap and efficient. Even the trains and buses can reach out to all locations with fast, secure and comfortable.
To get the cheapest cost of using prepaid cards, such as cards or cards EzLink throughs "Singapore Tourist Pass (STP)" for unlimited use during the day by train and bus.
This card is easier than in its consumer, is also cheaper. To assist in planning and train and bus routes in Singapore please see http://gothere.sg/directions site.
Plan schedules and tourist attractions we will visit. Create a schedule as detailed as possible, including the transportation to be used. Stacking sequence, so that between one place to another place does not require a long time, even just by walking alone.
Buy tickets through the web sights or travel agents in our city. Therefore, the price is sometimes cheaper than buying direct. Utilize free tourist attractions scattered across Singapore.
Places to eat in Singapore are many and varied. Almost in every corner of the city there are places to eat, including halal food for Muslims.
Do not hesitate to ask first what we want to taste the food. Cheapest price for the meal plan can be obtained at hawker centers such as the Banquet VivoCity or at Lau Pa Sat.
Buy travel insurance. For security and tranquility, buy travel insurance offered by insurance companies in Indonesia which also has branches in Singapore.
Travel insurance is very helpful when we need to seek treatment in hospitals in Singapore, affected by accident or even a lost or delayed luggage.
