Jetstar Asia will start a new service from Singapore to Hat Yai, primarily to tap into land visitor traffic restricted by a recent Thai visa requirement. Located at the border between Malaysia and Thailand, Hat Yai is a traditionally popular destination for a 12-hour road trip from Singapore. With Jetstar's new direct service, travellers can fly direct to Hat Yai visa-free for 30 days while allowing them to save on travel time. The new service will see Jetstar Asia operate up to 51 services a week to Thailand, which includes Bangkok and Phuket.
