Budget Travel From Singapore Made Search Friendly By FlightLover

If you want an easy way to check out the best (i.e. cheapest) plane tickets out of Singapore, FlightLover (iTunes) is for you. Built by Handstand Apps’ Dominic Ee, Ang Junhan, and Sam Kuan – also the co-founders of local maps provider GoThere.sg, FlightLover Singapore was released on the 4th of May on the iTunes app store and within two days, was ranked top three in the Paid Apps list on the Singapore store.

Targeted at travellers with a flexible schedule, instead of asking “Where and when do you want to travel?”, FlightLover asks, “Where and for how long do you wish to travel?” FlightLover then does its magic and finds the cheapest tickets over a 3-month period.

Priced at SGD 2.99, FlightLover frames it as: “How much will you pay for a utility that can save you hundreds? $99.99 or $49.99?” (Love the pitch.)

They track budget airlines such as Tiger Airways, Jetstar, AirAsia, Lion Air and Cebu Pacific and since budget airline ticket prices fluctuate on a daily basis, it can be quite a challenge to keep track of the best deals. With FlightLover’s daily alerts feature, you can get a notification whenever prices to your favourite destinations fall within a budget you set. Ticket prices are all-in so no worries about plus-plus costs for the final ticket price.

FlightLover Singapore’s best deals recommend the cheapest tickets out of Singapore to over 50 destinations, including popular cities such as Bangkok, Hong Kong and Taipei. The full list of cities currently being tracked – leaving from Singapore to:

Adelaide, Auckland, Bali, Bandung, Bangkok, Brisbane, Cairns, Chengdu, Chennai, Chiang Mai, Christchurch, Darwin, Gold Coast, Guangzhou, Guilin, Haikou, Hangzhou, Hanoi, Hat Yai, Ho Chi Minh, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kota Kinabalu, Krabi-Phi Phi, Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, Langkawi, London, Macau, Manila, Manila-Clark, Medan, Melbourne, Miri, Mumbai, New Delhi, Osaka, Paris, Penang, Perth, Phnom Penh, Phuket, Shantou, Shenzhen, Seoul, Siem Reap, Surabaya, Sydney, Taipei, Tiruchirapalli, Tokyo, Trivandrum, Wellington, Yangon, Yogyakarta.
