Exhibition Travel Tools

eSIM Data Plans

International roaming fees in Singapore during ITB Asia can be high, so purchasing an eSIM before departure is the most hassle-free option. We recommend Klook’s Singapore eSIM plan, which covers 4G/5G networks across Singapore — simply scan the QR code to activate, no SIM card swap needed.

Flight Comparison

Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) is Southeast Asia’s largest aviation hub, with direct flights from major Asian cities. Flight prices rise noticeably during the exhibition period, so booking 2 to 3 months in advance is recommended.
