NEW FLIGHT
It may have a reputation as one of the world’s priciest cities, but Singapore is about to become a lot more affordable for British travellers, thanks to the launch of a new route from low-cost carrier Norwegian. From late September, a one-way fight from Gatwick starts at only £180 (norwegian.com). On touchdown, there are plenty of ways to make your Singapore dollar go further, says Lonely Planet destination editor Dora Ball. ‘Some of Singapore’s most defining experiences are completely free: exploring the temples and markets of Chinatown and Little India, taking in the skyline from the forest walkway of the Southern Ridges, and enjoying the sound-and-light show in the Gardens by the Bay (pictured).’
