Just two weeks back, we read with joy that Singapore and Hong Kong are in talks to establish a travel bubble where travellers can exempt from quarantines or stay-home notices. Fast forward to today (Nov 2); it seems like the authorities will put the then in-principle agreement to action soon. To be exact, we should be able to start flying between Hong Kong and Singapore by late November.
Are you thinking of celebrating Christmas and countdown in Hong Kong? We’ve found five best Airbnb rentals from S$41/night with flexible cancellation policies you can book for your long-awaited yearend trip.
