What to look out for when planning your June holiday

When figuring out where to go on the June holiday, it’s important to keep in mind a few considerations:

• Weather patterns in Asia: June can bring both sunshine and monsoon rains in Asia, depending on the region. For instance, parts of Malaysia¹ and Thailand² may experience showers, while destinations like Hokkaido³ enjoy mild summer weather.
• Flight durations: If you only have a week or two to spare during the June holiday, shorter flights may be more practical. Look into short trips from Singapore, like Bali, if you prefer less time in transit.
• Budget management: The June holiday often sees higher demand, especially for family-friendly destinations. Booking in advance, using flight comparison tools, and considering budget airlines can stretch your travel budget further.
