THOSE looking to scratch the itch to travel will be glad to know that Changi Airport will offer more flights out and new destinations in the coming months. Jetstar Asia, for instance, is embarking on its most aggressive expansion programme yet. It has announced plans to add three more aircraft to its current fleet of seven planes in the next 12 months. The airline will welcome its eighth aircraft in December, which will fly twice daily to Phuket in Thailand from Dec 15. Another two jets will come by May. Jetstar, which now flies seven times a week to Manila, will also bump this up to 10 services from Oct 25. To mark the launch of its Singapore-Phuket service, the airline will offer a limited number of one-way tickets at $8 for selected travel dates from January to May. With taxes and other charges included, the return fare will be about $120. Online bookings can be made between 9am and 8pm on Thursday.
