Planning from Sungai Nibong
Plan the ride from Sungai Nibong to Penang International Airport separately, and leave extra time during rain, rush hours and holidays. Arrive at the airport well before an international departure; check your airline's check-in deadline.
- Check your baggage allowance. A low fare may include hand luggage only.
- Check passport and entry rules. Singapore entry requirements are separate from the airline ticket.
- Submit the SG Arrival Card. Most travellers must submit it online within 3 days before arriving, and it is free.[2]
Arrival at Singapore Changi
After landing, you go through immigration and baggage collection before taking a train, bus or taxi into the city. Keep your hotel or meeting address ready, and do not plan a tight appointment right after landing, since immigration and baggage queues can add time.
