SINGAPORE (Aug 11): SATS, the provider of Gateway Services and Food Solutions, is launching a mobile travel concierge app, Ready To Travel, at the NATAS Fair today.
As users move in their journey timeline from pre-trip to near-trip to on-trip, they will be prompted by the app with vital travel information such as time to the airport, travel check-in time, boarding gate time, passport renewal, and visa applications.
Singaporeans can now also eRegister with Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Singapore using Ready To Travel. The app also pushes travel notices and advisories to Singaporean travellers that are specific to their countries of destination.
A unique feature of the app is its ability to help user navigate their way through the airport with real-time point-to-point directional information.

At launch, users will be able to use this feature in four airports – Singapore Changi Airport, Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, Tokyo Narita Airport and Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok Airport. SATS will add more airports in the coming months.
