Airports requiring negative Covid test for international transit

Hello everyone

Covid you please write which airports require negative Covid test for international airside transit regardless of vaccination status?

Singapore Changi currently is one of such, and transit pax will be herd into a box right after arrival waiting for connecting flight. In my case that flight is 15h later and I am looking for alternatives.

Iceland requires pre-flight test for airside transit, regardless of vaccination status now.

but what problem exactly are you trying to solve? Where are you trying to go from/to?

Or is this just a general survey?

This is even true for connecting flights going through Iceland, correct?

My flight is airportNNN-IST-SIN-SFO. IST does not require any test for transit. SIN requires PCR test for transit and above mentioned box herding. US requires arrival test which can be antigen.

Where I am departing from PCR test costs 4x of Antigen test. So if I can find a transit point which doesnt require PCR test, that would be sever hundred $$$ savings.

I'm looking to travel EWR - Belgrade, I have to transit BRU and MUC. Once I get to BRU do I need to go thru customs in order to connect to MUC and then on to Belgrade? or not, and either way if I am vaccinated do I need a PCR test or will Antigen test be fine. Thanks
