Flying from JB - Info for Singaporeans

Since recently moving to SG, I have been investigating all the ways to travel and save money, continuing my habits from Europe. While checking flights to Thailand for new years I realised that flying from JB Senai airport was significantly cheaper, $200 cheaper to be exact! That's half the cost saved as opposed to flying from Changi. I took the MRT to Woodlands and then the bus to Woodlands checkpoint. The 170 Bus will take you up to the security checkpoint, then once you pass through there is a place to wait to be picked up by the bus on the other side. Once arriving in JB you need to pass another checkpoint and then you can walk from there to JB Sentral station. On the opposite side of the station is a small shopping mall of snacks shops and downstairs is the Bus Terminal. At station 1 in the bus terminal, all the way at the end, you can catch the Causeway Link bus to Senai Airport. There is one bus per hour, on the hour, so be careful when planning the journey to account for this. From here it takes approximately 45 minutes to JB airport. The airport itself has many restaurants and drink shops despite its small size. The security queue is very short and can be passed easily and there are a few other food outlets on the other side, but not as many. Be careful if your gate is G1 as you need to pass a passport check before entering that gate. This time I flew with Thai Air Asia. The flight was very comfortable but the best thing was obviously the price, paying $200 less for my flight was a big saving and I plan to spend it on snacks in BKK 😆 #favouriteairline
