Oh dear - I hope that doesn’t happen to us! During that 36 hours were you able to leave the room and use the hotel facilities including restaurants?

Travellers must proceed immediately to their place of accommodation for self-isolation. They are not allowed to stay in the airport or wait in the hotel lobby prior to check-in.

We're resident so I didn't leave the apartment. As I say I believe I'm quite an outlier. Indeed, have received the negative result, I've now had an email saying since I didn't attend the test they would refund the test fee. I wrote back telling them not to refund but they went ahead and did it anyway.

Leaving the room is not allowed: https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/vtl/faq#OAT

And that is yet another SIN gotcha - if your flight arrives early in the morning, as many do, you are forced to pay for yet another night - tra la la

Hello everyone, with BA restarting flights to Sydney in March I’m looking at booking myself onto BA15/16. Pricing is like the good old days, somewhere between Scoot and SQ/QF, so great value especially with OW benefits, but I smell a catch.
Does anyone know if BA16 will be a VTL? Otherwise it makes it a rather worthless option for me unfortunately.

BA will probably flip the LHR-SIN flight to VTL I don’t doubt that, but I’m worried the SYD-SIN portion won’t be. I would be looking at flying this once or twice a month so having a VTL is a must.

This website suggests they will just transfer the VTL from BA11 to BA15 on the 27th along with making the flight daily instead of 4w. At least for the LHR portion.

I see Singapore have now changed the rules and if have proof of recent positive COVID infection, no need for any negative tests. Does anyone know if they accept confirmation of positive PCR from the NHS? The rules are unclear as they mention "approved providers" but don't provide a list for the UK

as long as the lab on your NHS report shows up in ukas.com, you're good?
