15 March 2010, 1.30pm: Macau International Airport to Macau Venetian Hotel. Tiger Airways TR908 touched down on a really misty runway. The runway appears to be a huge long jetty over the sea. Yes, visibility was poor, but the check out process was quick. Temperature? 21 degrees celcius. Cool. Found the Venetian Hotel shuttle bus waiting for us. Hopped on board and it quickly whisked us to Venetian Hotel. By the way, we could see the hotel from the airport. The Macau Venetian Hotel claims to be the world's 2nd largest building.   I requested for 2 non-smoking rooms with good view on a high floor. Indeed we got the 31st floor overlooking the Cotai city and the Macau airport.  I love roof top views.

  15 March 2010, 6.00 am : Budget Terminal Singapore Taxi, MRT or drive to the airport? MRT is out. Too far away to drag our luggages. London cabs to airport cost S$45 per trip. Normal cab won't take 5 pax and cost S$22 per trip. Need two normal cabs to get to Changi Airport? Cost S$44. Changi Airport carpark charges S$20 per day max. Our trip is 4 days. So cost of carpark is S$80. So driving to the airport was the best choice. Parked in level 2 of Changi Airport Terminal 2. Parked 20 steps away from the arrival hall. Took a picture just in case I forgot where I parked.   Tiger Airways take off from the Budget Terminal. Budget Terminal is not walking distance from Terminal 2. Took the free shuttle bus from Terminal 2 to Budget Terminal.   Re-timed! Tiger airways flight number TR908 re-timed an hour later. Re-timed due to heavy fog in Macau. Nothing better to do in Budget Terminal except check in and wait. We had our breakfast and free flow of hot coffee at MacDonalds. ...
