Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer - SQ 61/62 -- Russian Visa Need for DME Stopover to SIN?
I am taking SQ 61/62 in December from IAH to SIN and back via DME. Does anybody know if a Russian transit visa is needed for the brief stopovers in DME? If so, I have heard that Russian transit visas are only good for 72 hours -- if that's true, does one need two visas (one for SQ 61, another for SQ 62) if the return trip is more than 3 days after the outbound trip?
Incidentally, as part of the same trip, I am returning from Siem Reap in Cambodia to SIN via Denang on MI 633. Anyone know if a visa is needed for the brief stopover in Denang?
Many thanks.

Assuming your a US Citizen, I read it as No Visa required so as long as you remain airside and its <24hrs.
