● For destinations closer to home, such as Denpasar, Bali, booking two months ahead of the intended travel dates can save up to 44%**.

KAYAK recently shared affordable Christmas destinations. At the time Imbert Fung, Director KAYAK Southeast Asia and India commented, "At KAYAK.sg we want to help Singaporeans plan and manage travels more easily. Our travel tools, such as Explore, provide travel inspiration and show Singaporeans how far their set travel budget can take them in the world."
