The short hop that catches a cheaper flight
Senai handles a good spread of domestic and regional routes, and for a lot of travellers leaving Singapore it is the airport that makes the fare work. The catch is getting there: fifty-five kilometres, a checkpoint in the middle and a group with check-in luggage. A private van takes the whole thing off your hands — one pickup at your Singapore address, straight through the crossing, and a drop at the Senai departures door. For families flying out on a budget carrier it often costs less overall than the alternatives once you have counted everyone in the party.
Building the checkpoint into your check-in time
Senai is close, which tempts people to leave late. The crossing is what makes that risky: the same trip can take an hour on a quiet Tuesday and considerably longer on a Friday evening. So we set the pickup against your check-in deadline rather than the distance, and we would rather you waited in the terminal than in the queue. Send us the flight time when you enquire. Remember too that you take your luggage off the van and through the checkpoint yourself, so a group flying with full check-in allowance should tell us the bag count and let us send a van with real boot space.
