We love our dads, corny jokes, quirks and all. And while we are often reluctant to admit it, we are grateful for the advice they give us; old-fashioned, weird, and *face-palm* inducing as it might be.
We are used to dad having something to say on almost everything, from our fashion choices, to our driving skills, long working hours, late nights and even travel! With Father’s Day around the corner, we put together a list of travel tips dads dish out just as we are about to embark on
#GetOutofTown adventures (tends to happen when they’re dropping us off at the airport!), things that only Singaporean dads seem to say.
DadTip #1
Dad: “Make sure you go to the airport early…later you miss the flight!” You: “Don’t worry Dad, I checked in online so no need to rush!”

DadTip #2
Dad: “I tell you, it’s cheaper to take this flight. Last time I travelled, I flew by this airline and the fare was so cheap!”
You: “But Dad, Skyscanner says that there other cheaper options!”

DadTip #3
Dad: “Be careful when you book online. These days, there are a lot of scammers.”
You: “It’s ok dad, I’ve done this many times before. Plus with PayPal’s
Buyer Protection, if something really does go wrong with my booking, I’ll get the full cost of my booking back.”
DadTip #4
Dad: “Don’t eat on the streets, it’s not clean.”
You: “But Dad…I’m going to Hanoi…it’s the land of street food!”

DadTip #5
Dad: “Don’t bring so much money, it’s not safe…”
You: “Dad, cash is so old school! I use
PayPal and link my credit cards to it. I don’t even need to bring my wallet!

DadTip #6
Dad: “Don’t need to buy me anything la…just enjoy yourself” On return from trip
Dad: “Where’s my souvenir? Why never buy me anything?”

And the one tip that never fails to remind you how just how much Dad cares, DadTip #7
Dad: Take care, be careful. And don’t forget to Facetime us everyday. You: *Sigh* Dad I don’t think I’ll have the time and WiFi might not be good…ok ok, promise I will. Love you!
