We may still be in the first few days of 2020, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start dreaming up our year’s travel adventures. With renewed days of annual leave and 9 long weekends at our disposal, early planning is essential if we’re aiming to snap up the best deals possible.
Between 17th and 19th January 2020, these travel deals will be made available to you at the Changi Recommends “Around The World” Travel Fair. Everything from hotels to unlimited data SIM cards will be going for up to 69% off, and you can also expect free goodie bags and a lucky draw chance to win a 2D1N stay at Bintan Lagoon Resort.
Here’s what you can expect:
We’re always on the prowl for a good travel deal or two – and here, you can snag everything from unlimited data WIFI rentals to overseas transports for a fraction of the price.
A thing to remember is that these deals operate on a first-come-first-serve basis. They also change every three hours at 12PM, 3PM and 6PM during the 3-day event, so keep your eyes peeled and get ready to chiong once the new deals are broadcasted.
You can wander around destinations like Japan and South Korea without worrying about connectivity issues
Staying connected is essential on any trip, especially when we’re constantly refreshing our IG stories in real-time. You can thus expect high-speed ChangiWifi portals for destinations like Japan and South Korea for prices as low as $3. Here are some of the available promos:
If you prefer travelling lighter, a SIM card might be more up your alley. With prices for overseas prepaid SIM cards going for up to 69% off, you can easily pick one up before setting off.

You can also pre-book tours and attraction tickets to save yourself some hassle on the trip. Look forward to one-day scenic tours around Kyoto ($97), as well as admission tickets into Universal Studios Japan ($94, U.P. from $100).
And no, these aren’t all the deals there are. There’ll be more promos waiting for you at the fair, so stay tuned.
Scouring the fair for travel promos isn’t the only thing you can do there. To liven up your bargain-hunting experience, there’ll be a bunch of interactive activities that you can do together with your friends and family.
Completing each activity will net you a stamp on your “Around The World” Passport, which you’ll receive upon registration. And you’ll want to finish it up, as a fully-filled passport will grant you one entry in the Grand Lucky Draw.
Race to finish the life-sized pagoda stacks in record time
Put your speed and reflexes to the test at the Night Street and Pagoda Stacker stations. The former will have you lighting up signages as fast as possible, while you’ll be racing to complete the 11-layers pagoda stack in the fastest time possible.
If you find yourself at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the day, you’ll stand to score a Changi Recommends deal for yourself.
You can also look forward to neon claw machines and cash grab machines to try your hand at. All you need to do here is to show them your “Around The World” passport to redeem one chance, which you will spend either trying to kiap a capsule of travel deals or catching a lucky coupon in a very windy booth.
Other than earning massive savings, you’ll also have the chance to win big at their Grand Lucky Draw. We’re talking Samsung gadgets, Winter Time apparel, and a 2D1N staycation at Bintan Lagoon Resort – so if you want in, simply present your completed passport at the redemption counter, and you’ll be given a free mystery gift alongside your lucky draw entry.
One lucky winner will stand to win a 2D1N staycation at Bintan Lagoon Resort
If you die-die want to win something, simply spend $200 and above at the fair, and you’ll double your chances here. Bonus: you’ll even earn a $10 shopping voucher!
Other than travel credits, the winner will also win an OSIM uVision3 (left) and uSqueez Hand (right).

The winner of the grand prize will walk away with OSIM gadgets as well as $2,000 worth of travel credits, which you can use for your next travel adventure. But if you don’t get that, no worries – prizes range all the way down to 10th place, and there are consolation prizes up for grabs too.
The world’s your oyster, and with the travel deals at the Changi Recommends “Around The World” Travel Fair, travelling has never been easier.
You might want to drop by early, as the first 1,000 visitors will get an exclusive Changi Recommends goodie bag filled with snacks and merch from Hong Kong Disneyland. If you’re amongst the first 200 visitors per day, even better – you’ll get additional Changi Recommends vouchers thrown in as well.
Happening from 17th – 19th January 2020, hit up Jewel Changi’s Cloud 9 Piazza at Level 5 between 10AM-10PM to kickstart your travel plans.
