Business travellers who are used to arriving at
Singapore's Changi airport forty minutes before a flight leaves, may
find that certain airlines are no longer accommodating their tardiness. As security has tightened, extra time at the airport is necessary. For business travellers, the extra
time can translate into unproductive hours.
Company guidelines usually stipulate economy class travel for journeys under say, 5 hours. For a lot of Singaporean business people, this
means travelling to Hong Kong, Indonesia or the Philippines is by economy class.
Without the business class ticket, lounge access is dependant on membership and miles, and within the terminal, it means queuing and wasting time getting access to facilities.
For a fraction of the cost of a business class ticket, whether
flying by budget airline or on a branded carrier, corporate travellers can be
productive at JetQuay’s CIP terminal at Changi International Airport. Passage through JetQuay can be booked straight on to the passengers
‘Passenger Name Record’ (PNR) through a Travel Agent or Travel Management Company.
At the CIP terminal, the business traveller has free wireless internet access, table top computer monitors in the lounge area, personal copiers
at desk stations in the business centre, private meeting rooms and a full service boardroom for meetings with non-travellers, so
it is possible to hop straight from the meeting on to the plane.
Perks of using the CIP Terminal include driving up to the terminal, having a staff member park
the travellers car for the unlimited duration, returning to find it washed, cleaned and ready to go at the lobby entrance. For travellers leaving in the middle of the
night, or arriving very early in the morning, use of the nap room is complimentary and can be booked in advance.
For example, for no additional cost,
a traveller can have dinner at the terminal with a glass of wine, go to bed in the nap room at a decent hour and
be woken by an attendant when the flight is almost ready for boarding.
The traveller is then taken by electric buggy directly to the air-bridge, bypassing all queues and inspection points as
security and immigration were cleared when when leaving the CIP Terminal.
Showers, gym and spa facilities are available at
JetQuay in addition to the business facilities.
