Since our planned trip is in 2022 I am going to wait and see if Singapore is going to remove this VTL thingie.
swiss airlines is on it, along with some of the other EU airlines (eg Lufthansa, air France).

VTL is like a self-filter, only the people who need to travel will go (family, medical issues, work etc), and trying to filter out cheaper tourism. (Only want people willing to spend the extra for testing, 1day hotel quarantine , insurance, potentially stuck in isolation ward if positive... )
I doubt VTL will disappear in 2022 first half. At least given what we have seen, SG govt actually wants VTL to remain open unless something very drastic happens (worse than how omicron is behaving so far)
