Lastly, note in this screenprint how SQ sells the SQ25 to SQ325 connection. They are highlighting that VTL rules apply to SQ25 as the passenger is connecting to the SQ325 VTL flight.

so the PCR Test is only needed at JFK for SQ 25 and not at FRA for SQ 325 the next day, right? But there must be pax going from JFK - FRA only on Sq 25. Do they need a PCR at JFK too? My worry is about needing a PCR to board SW 325 in FRA and whether the PCR I took 3 days ago in NYC before boarding SQ 25 will be valid although taken more than 48 hours before SQ 325 leaves FRA
Trust Singapore Inc to come up with the most confusing rules !!
