Guide: How To Get To Senai Airport From Singapore
Are you looking for hassle-free transportation from Singapore to Senai Airport?
And many people wonder what is the best way to get to Senai Airport.
Anyway, there are 3 best options available for you to consider.
While each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages.
Decide for yourself what works for you in terms of time, cost and ease and then let the services take care of the rest.
Let’s check out what are the transportations available!
Here is the list:
1. Overview: Singapore to Senai Aiport
Senai International Airport is located in Senai, Kulai District, Johor.
While there are various ways to get to Senai Airport from Singapore, a direct flight is not one of them.
Why?
The answer is simple. There just aren’t any direct flights from Singapore to Senai Airport.
While I’d say the best way for you to travel from Singapore is by private car, we’ll also be focusing on other transport options to Senai Airport.
But if you’re looking for a direct taxi to Senai Airport, you should make your way to JB Sentral by MRT or bus, and then take any available taxi at JB Sentral to Senai Airport.
You can also travel by bus. There is only one from JB Sentral to Senai Airport, which is the AA1 Bus by Causeway Link.
Let’s dive right into each of these options.
Note:Fill Up Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) Before Entering Malaysia
Non-Malaysians take note: you will need to present your arrival card before entering Malaysia! Luckily for Singaporeans, you are exempted from this!
For more information, check out Malaysia’s immigration website.
2. Private Car Taxi Direct to Singapore (Best Option)
If hassle-free solutions are your thing, then a private car taxi should be your top choice.
You can hire a private car service, like SGMYTAXI, to pick you up from your doorstep in Singapore to Senai Airport via the Woodlands or Tuas Checkpoint.
SGMYTAXI ensures convenience, comfort, and ease. It’s affordable, making it very cost effective especially when travelling with family, kids, elderly people, or a group.
And because you don’t have to alight at the Singapore-Malaysia borders for immigration and customs clearance, you’re free to bring heavy luggage with you.
Oh, you’ll also be travelling in a luxury MPV vehicle. Who wouldn’t love that?

Before you choose to travel by public bus from Singapore to Senai, there are a few things you should know first.
It is a really time-consuming and exhausting journey, as it can take as long as 1 hour.
The journey entails you disembarking and embarking the bus at JB CIQ for customs clearance. From JB CIQ, you will have to walk to JB Sentral to catch the bus to Senai.
By the time you arrive at Senai, you and your family would be drained from the uncomfortable bus ride. This is why you seldom see travellers taking the bus to Senai.
Unless you’re on a budget and don’t mind the inconvenience, I wouldn’t recommend this option at all.

4. SG Local Taxi or JB Grab Taxi
You can also take either a local SG taxi or JB Grab taxi to Senai Airport.
Option 1: Arrive at Ban San Singapore-Johor taxi stand on Bugis Queen Street by bus or local metered taxi. Then hop into a Singapore taxi to Larkin Sentral.
Ban San Street Terminal Taxi Station
Good To Know:
- Don’t expect the taxi to be as comfortable as riding in a luxury MPV service.
- When taking the taxi, there’s no door-to-door service
- During peak season (like school holidays or a long weekend), the taxi driver might refuse to pick you upbecause of the bad traffic jams at the Singapore-Malaysia border.
- One trip can cost around SGD 60(if you’re not splitting the cost with other passengers).
- The taxi can only bring you to Larkin Sentral. From there, you need to get a Malaysian taxi to take you to Senai Airport. It’s very inconvenient.
Option 2: Take a public bus—CW2 (Queen Street) or CW1 (Kranji bus station)—to JB Sentral. From JB Sentral, take a local Grab car to Senai Airport.

If you’re going through all this trouble hopping from taxi to taxi, why not just hire a private car service instead?
Sure, it might cost a little more, but at least it’ll bring you directly from your home in Singapore to Senai Airport.

5. Conclusion & Reminder
Based on this guide, deciding how to get to Senai from Singapore should be pretty straightforward.
Essentially, if you prioritise comfort and a direct transfer to Senai, then the private car taxi is for you.
If you don’t mind the hassle of switching taxis/Grab cars to Larkin or JB Sentral, then go for this option.
But I would advise you against taking the AA1 bus at all costs. This would be the worst option.
