Millennial travellers, you will never travel without this again.

Going by the 4Cs – Convenience, Cost, Customer Service and Companion, Changi Recommends is doing everything for you to make planning your travels less of a stress.

With the ChangiWiFi, you no longer have to worry about forgetting to rent a portable WiFi router before embarking on your trip. Here’s why.

CONVENIENCE

More collection points in Changi Airport.

Changi Recommends has increased the number of collection points for your collecting and returning your ChangiWiFi routers, from four to 11 booths!

Spread across all four terminals at convenient and easy to locate spots, collecting and returning the ChangiWiFi routers are now a breeze, settled within minutes upon arrival at the airport. No need to panic even if you are running late for your flight.

Reserve and collect anytime, any day.

Open 24 hours, 7 days a week, reserve and pick up your ChangiWiFi routers at any time of the day.

Last minute bookings? No problem!

Just remembered you need WiFi on your trip on the way to the airport? Order and pick it up on the spot at your departure terminal before you fly!

Certainty of getting your router before you fly.

There was that one time I ordered my WiFi router just a few days before my trip with another company and as a result, I had to send it to my arrival destination’s post office (as it wouldn’t arrive in Singapore before I fly), locate the post office when I arrive, and all the time worrying if my router will reach on time before I embark on my road trip.

With Changi Recommends, I could have saved all that trouble. No need to trouble yourself waiting for the WiFi router delivery and hoping earnestly that it will reach you in time before your trip. Simply pick it up on the way to the airport and return it at the arrival terminal when you return back to Singapore. All without having to go out of the way and have a blip on your itinerary!

COST

WiFi vs Prepaid SIM vs Data Roaming

Thinking between WiFi router, getting prepaid SIM cards or data roaming? We give you the lowdown below.

Free cancellation and modification, pay only at collection.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

We know what a pain that will be if our WiFi suddenly doesn’t work while you’re on the road. And no other WiFi rental company takes customer support as seriously as Changi Recommends. No matter what time zone you’re travelling in, you’ve got it covered 24/7.

Imagine this.

You are booked on a dream vacation to Bali, the beach vacation you have been looking forward to for the entire year. You can’t wait to see the blue skies, the sand, and the sea. You have your itinerary all planned out, from breakfast by the beach, to a candlelight dinner with your other half. All you have left is the hotel reservation. After surfing the net for an entire day, you found a beautiful romantic accommodation with the perfect view of the sea, just within your budget. You decided on it, and you are at the checkout page but, to your horror, the price was much more than what was stated at the selection page. You are back to the drawing board, this time, frustrated with the hassle of hotel bookings and hidden charges.

But fret not. You will not face that situation because you are here. Reading this.

The headache of hotel bookings can now be taken away by Changi Recommends new travel service – ChangiHotels.

Save $50 on Japan Theme Parks and Still Have Fun during Winter

The winter holidays are approaching soon and the travel bug is here to bite us again. While many of us scramble to drop by Japan during the Spring time to catch the cherry blossoms in full bloom, those of us with children who are still schooling can opt to visit Japan in winter instead.

TIP: Merge your purchases together for a $50 discount for Japan attractions.

Promo codes for travellers to Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea are also available below.

Before you dismiss this suggestion, here are 5 places in Japan that you can visit, and still have tons of fun, in the wintry December.

For a family of 4, split your purchases to get the best bargain. For every $300 spent on Changi Recommends’ attractions, day tours or on transportation, you get to save $50!

Purchase them today on Changi Recommends’ website.

Disneyland

No matter if you are traveling with a little one, your significant other, or with your friends, Disneyland is a destination that is not to be missed when in Japan. Catch Disneyland’s hot favourite thrill rides Space Mountain and Splash Mountain, or stop by the “It’s a small world” attraction if you prefer something mild, but equally magical.

DisneySea

Where the world’s one and only DisneySea resides, revisit your childhood at the happiest place on earth at Tokyo DisneySea. Expect to get wet and wild at many of the underwater-themed rides, such as the Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull. Mermaid lovers are also in for a treat as there is a Mermaid Lagoon zone where you can find all things related to The Little Mermaid.

Legoland Japan

Challenge the limit of your child’s imagination at Legoland Japan, where they can see their favourite Lego toys, in a size that’s larger than life. With over 10,000 Lego models made with a whopping 17 million Lego bricks, and over 40 rides, shows and attractions to look out for, gear yourself up for a day of fun and games.

Sanrio Puroland

Catch Hello Kitty, My Melody, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, and other beloved Sanrio characters as they come to life at Sanrio Puroland. As most attractions are indoors, a visit to Sanrio Puroland could be a good way to escape the cold during winter. Seize the chance to finally step inside these characters’ homes!

Watch Snow Monkeys bathe in Hot Springs

When travelling to Japan in winter, watch out for the snow monkeys taking a casual dip in the hot spring, especially when you visit the Jigokudani Yaenkoen, in the Nagano Prefecture.
