Travel without worries: Must-know tips to stay connected everywhere on your next holiday

Planning the perfect holiday is all about balancing the thrill of new experiences with the practicalities of travel. 

Whether you’re heading off on a quick weekend escape, snagging end-of-year travel deals or jet-setting for a two-week adventure, it’s often the little things – like good network connection, comfortable layovers or a hotel upgrade – that can elevate your trip to the next level.

With just a few simple travel hacks, you can leave the stress behind and focus on what matters: making unforgettable memories along the way. 

Stay connected with dependable mobile data

Connectivity is a non-negotiable when you’re navigating unfamiliar streets and sharing real-time adventures on social media. 

For longer trips, Singtel’s new UnlimitedRoam 14-Day Plan* is an ideal companion, providing unlimited data access across 81 destinations, from Australia, Japan, the UK and beyond. Think about it: If you are planning a two-week holiday to multiple destinations, this plan makes it easy to stay connected and focus on exploring like a local. 

Singtel partners with multiple operators overseas, providing you with more than one network option in popular destinations. Unlike some data connectivity options on the market, Singtel offers the flexibility to select a preferred network wherever you travel.

Additionally, Singtel roaming keeps you connected to your favourite apps like Google, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp – ensuring your digital experience abroad is as seamless as it is at home. Though it may seem standard, some eSIMs available on eCommerce platforms may restrict access to those essential platforms.

For quick getaways, consider ReadyRoam, a popular Singtel roaming plan known for its affordable bundles starting at $5. Ideal for spontaneous weekends and short trips, it keeps you effortlessly connected and covers the essentials: checking restaurant reviews, navigating new neighbourhoods and staying in touch with loved ones. 

Both Singtel’s UnlimitedRoam and ReadyRoam plans cover all types of travel needs.

Peace of mind against costly roaming rates

One of the biggest travel buzzkills? Sneaky (and costly) roaming charges. With Singtel’s flexible international roaming plans, you can roam worry-free knowing you’re protected from unexpected fees. 

ReadyRoam’s auto top-up feature kicks in by automatically refreshing your data bundle when it’s running low, so you can keep enjoying connectivity without interruption. Here’s how it works: Once you’ve used up the data on your current ReadyRoam plan, the system instantly renews it at the same rate, so you’re never switched to costly pay-per-use rates. This set-up keeps your data connectivity seamless without the hassle of buying another plan. 

For ultimate peace of mind, consider the UnlimitedRoam 14-Day Plans* that offer a single flat rate to cover your data needs throughout your entire vacation, no matter how much you use.

*Fair Usage Policy applies. You’ll enjoy the first 10GB at full speed, with unlimited data at lower speeds thereafter. T&Cs apply.

Turn layovers into mini-vacations

Layovers can be a drag, but with the right approach, you can make the most of your wait as an opportunity to relax and recharge away from the busy crowds. 

Singtel customers can enjoy 50 per cent off Plaza Premium Lounge access at selected airports across Asia, including in Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore. Take advantage of free Wi-Fi, buffets and a comfortable place to unwind between flights, turning wait time into quality time.

Elevate your hotel experience 

Little upgrades can make any good trip into a memorable one. Singtel Red members can unlock even more exclusive travel perks, such as staycation, hotel and attraction deals.

For instance, you can get a complimentary upgrade to Pan Pacific Discovery Platinum status, which includes benefits like late check-outs and room discounts –  a delightful perk for those looking to add a premium touch to their stay.
