Indonesia-based SBEC members who join the CRT programme will also enjoy automatic enrolment in the Changi Rewards programme, which rewards spending on retail and dining at Changi Airport and Jewel Changi Airport. Indonesia-based SBEC members who join the CRT programme will also receive 200 Changi Rewards welcome points, which they can redeem for shopping and dining at Changi Airport.

In return, CRT members can now benefit from exclusive room rates at a growing collection of 60+ hotels across Indonesia. This includes an attractive 30 percent discount on the Best Flexi Rate at all Swiss-Belhotel International properties and 15 percent off the Best Flexi Rate with Zest Hotels International.

“Changi Airport is a key gateway hub and transit point for Indonesian travellers, so we are delighted to have formed this new partnership with Changi Rewards Travel. Our esteemed Indonesian guests can now travel in style and comfort at Changi, with access to airport lounges, airport limousine services and more,” commented Gavin M.
