Singapore for Kids - Air Force Museum

If you are looking for a way to spend a lazy Sunday with the kids somewhere comfortable and away from the crowd, you might want to check out Republic of Singapore Air Force Museum at 400 Airport Road. Admission is free and the kids will surely love gawking at the planes, helicopters and missiles on display at the outdoor gallery. It is also very informative for us adults as it explains the history of Republic of Singapore Arm Force (RSAF) from its formation to its current role. It's a small museum (probably take about 1 hour to cover it at a leisurely pace)  with just one small convenience shop and the most convenient way is to drive there, still if your kids love airplanes and you love history, this place still have some charm, we certainly enjoyed our trip there.

Cheap Flights : Kuala Lumpur-Singapore

You can travel to Singapore from Kuala Lumpur by bus, rail or air. It will take approximately 4-6 hours drive, 8-9 hours by train and 1 hr 15 mins by air. 

The budget airlines sector has bring down the fare quite a bit, below are some budget airlines that ply the Kuala Lumpur - Singapore route: 

1) Firefly (operates from Subang Airport) is a subsidiary of Malaysian Airlines, the advantage is definitely the Subang Airport being nearer to the city than KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) or LCCT (Low Cost Carrier Terminal) but a recent fare increase and the fact that the treat children above 2 as "adult" is a let down.

2) Tiger Airways (operates from LCCT) and has among the most competitive pricing and check in cut off time is not as strict as Air Asia, prices also go down nearer to departure date. Infant seat belts are available but choice of food on board is not much if you don't pre-book. 

3) Air Asia (operates from LCCT) prices ranges from dirt cheap during promotions to "I-can't-believe-they-are-charging-that-price-for-a-budget-carrier", the add-on fees such as counter check in fee are also a nuisance. They are also very strict with check in cut off time (45 mins before departure time)

4) Jetstar (operates from KLIA), the most expensive among the four carriers most of the time, sometimes price is comparable with Air Asia and rock bottom price is only for one way trip with hand carry luggage only. Adding on a checked luggage will cost more than your promotional flight ticket.
