Most Singaporeans default to flying to KL. It's the obvious choice — 75 minutes in the air beats a four-hour-plus train ride, so why would anyone think twice? I did. And the moment I actually put ETS and flight prices side by side, the "obvious choice" stopped looking so obvious. Economy ETS Seat: RM110 vs a Scoot seat An ETS ticket runs about RM110 one-way. At today's exchange rate (roughly RM3.18 to S$1), that converts to S$34.60. A Scoot flight on the same route is currently pricing around S$83 one-way for a standard economy seat, before baggage or seat selection are added on. That's a gap of about S$48.40 — the train comes in 58% cheaper. Business ETS Seat: RM165 vs an SIA seat Same story at the top end. ETS Business Class — extra legroom, wider seats, priority boarding — costs RM165, or S$51.90. A Singapore Airlines economy seat on the same route runs about S$220. That's S$168.10 saved, or 76% cheaper...
