QUOTE(tientien @ Sep 2 2010, 10:59 PM) i tot only S$10 for skypark...but looks like is highly recom here haha, it's never been S$10. I highly recommend it! 10 or 20 doesn't make much difference because it's more than worth it! there's no time limit too. From http://www.marinabaysands.com/SandsSkypark...s_Sky_Park.aspxQ. How much are the tickets to the Public Observation Deck? A. Tickets to Observation Deck are priced at: * S$20 for adults * S$14 for children (aged between 2 – 12 years*) * S$17 for senior citizens (aged 55 years and above) *Children under 2 years may enter for free. Please note strollers/prams are not permitted on the Skypark – however they may be checked in with the Bell Desk located at Tower 3 Porte Cochere.

QUOTE(panasonic88 @ Sep 2 2010, 03:47 PM) Thanks for the input, wlcling. Wow I wonder has any couple try this before: Full Butler Sky Dining. ( From $249++ per couple) http://www.singaporeflyer.com/en/tickets-g...sky-dining.htmlwelcome... this one too expensive for my liking... and 1 hour is too short especially if you want to get some wine and just chat the night away. i can suggest trying dozo restaurant... 7-course fine dining and just $60 per head. For fine-dining standards, that is rather cheap! The food is pretty awesome, and the service is really great as your waiter will explain to you each dish, how to eat it, etc... lol... you'll feel its very exquisite. you can read reviews off the net as well. a cab from orchard road to dozo restaurant is about $4. Take from ION shopping mall to avoid the extra $3 CBD surcharge. This post has been edited by wlcling: Sep 3 2010, 04:10 PM

Like recently, I bought the KL-SG-KL air ticket on behalf of my parents, their travelling date was just a week ahead, AA quoted me RM6xx, MAS quoted me a whooping RM1k++, while Jetstar quoted me RM5xx only. Naturally we bought the air ticket via Jetstar (landed at KLIA instead of LCCT).

QUOTE(Chrisky @ Sep 2 2010, 11:22 PM) Hotel Bencoolen is easily the best there, u can easily walk to 3 different MRT stations of different lines : Bugis (Green), Dhoby Ghaut (Red, Purple), Bras Basah (Yellow). well i'm not saying the stations are juz right at the doorstep, but its definitely walking distance. for me...i considered that hotel before...i want to ask...what abt santa grand hotel bugis?...seem cheap to me

Tiger Airways impose much more expensive convenience fee and they don't have web check-in service.
