What are the main Singapore airport hubs?
Singapore has two public airports. The main one is Changi, which is where almost every international visitor will touch down. The other is called Seletar, though unless you’re flying domestically or lucky enough to be on a private plane, it’s unlikely you’ll find yourself at that one.

The Mass Rapid Transport (MRT) Train takes around an hour and costs 2 S$ (£1.20) or you can hop in a metered taxi, which takes around 20 minutes and costs around 25 S$ (£15).
