So I spoke to the SQ office ib CPH they are willing to route me from CPH to SIN(instead of ARN to SIN) and on the way back SIN to ARN(April 10) of course with a fare difference. I am weighing the option right now.

Border restrictions remain the same for the time being but I do have high hopes for them going away by the end of March. It doesn't make much sense to keep border restrictions when everything else has been removed and covid will no longer be classified as a dangerous disease.

If the fare difference means having to pay more money to the airline for a ticket change and this was my situation, I would just wait it out. Sweden is jumpy when it comes to the border control, so what applies today will almost certainly not be a copy of what goes on then. And if it does not change, then who knows where things are with CPH then.

What was your original routing? Was it directly from Canada to Stockholm?

There is no non stop from YYZ to ARN, so I booked an award ticket YYZ-LHR-ARN.
Then
ARN-SIN
SIN-ARN (overnight)
ARN-MUC-ATH (Aegean Airlines)

I cancelled Apr 1 departure from ARN and changed to CPH. The return from SIN is still into ARN on Apr 10 which gives us time to see if the transit laws will allow CAD pp holders transit in Sweden. Cost 7206 SEK each.

So what's with all the major train disruptions today in southern Sweden? Covid-19-driven staffing absences causing disruptions to the rail infrastructure operations?
With Sweden having 20-30 Covid-19 deaths reported per day over the last 30 days -- with no let-up -- sicknesses must be at pretty high level in the country for that to be the case.

Unscientificly, yes pretty high. In previus waves it was rare to know of anyone sick. This time, "everyone you know" is or has been sick.

Along with Omicron ripping wild across the country and there just being a lot more reported cases in a concentrated period this time than ever before it, what has also changed is that people who were trying to keep their own sickness or that of others in their household/social circle on the down low are no longer doing so in the way they were doing so before. Maybe being sick with Covid-19 has just become perceived as being less stigmatized in Sweden than it was earlier?
