Traveling in South East Asia is a wonderful thing, its cheap, its easy, its quick and you have wonderful locations.
Living in Singapore, THE travel hub for all US, European and Australian flights, offers you more possibilities of spending your weekend away on some lonely island, then Sentosa will ever posses.
We often joke about that flying away over the weekend for partying, will safe you money, compared to spending and clubbing that weekend in Singapore. Not that clubbing in general has to be very expensive here, but how does it sound when you call your friends back home on Monday telling them you are still overhung from your weekend trip to Bangkok, Siem Reap, Bali….the moon, whatever…
(Read: Which Airline Has The Most Comfortable Seats?)
Lets Get It Started
To set you up for a wonderful weekend trip I have created a very helpful collection of all cheap budget airlines departing Singapore with respective criterias like “Cost of an example flight”, “Extra Costs To Be Expected”, “Average Airline On Time performance” etc.
Important, i’ve only included the airlines operating out of Singapore, which makes them most cheap and valuable for what your are looking for.
All of the airlines have of course online booking available, and DO NOT include meals or entertainment in the price, you will have to pay extra, but the flight is cheap, and you are not choosing your airline depending on the provided meals, right?

Nice info for regional travelers and tourists looking to come into Southeast Asia. For those coming to Malaysia or KL check out Nature Escapes.

Thanks Rick, trying to keep high quality information here.
@hyperX, how about trying one of the many “0 – Dollar offers” you often find. Last thing i checked was a 100 SD return flight to Bangkok (including everything, net)
