QG

Is it possible to transit Changi on a combination of revenue and award tickets? The SQ website says pax should book itineraries on a single ticket, but I vaguely remember reading somewhere that award/revenue ticket combos are OK?

Thanks!

You can try and let us know.

many people talked about it but so far no one has shown proof that it worked.


but we do have report of miserable experience of tickets from two airlines.

it is high-risk as it is against official directives. It is high-stake as it is no fun to get denied boarding and worse if stranded in SIN and got deported.

I know nothing is for certain, but any thoughts on SIN connection (6 hour), two awards (inbound EVA. outbound Singapore). Flights will be in October.

Ask in September. 8 months out anything could happen.

ned

Of course anything could happen in 8 months, but I have to secure award tickets when they are available and SQ can be expensive when cancelling. Best guess!

Is it possible to just proceed to check in and fly out again before getting the PCR result if taking a VTL?

Otherwise I’d imagine the only way to make this work is if you have a SHN/testing exemption due to vaccination + covid recovery.

you need to self-isolate after the test, you cannot proceed to check-in

Digicola

I realise that but realistically are they going to stop you from trying to leave the country? I can’t remember if SQ asks if you are serving SHN when you check in or not.

disclaimer: I’m not encouraging people to do this if it actually is completely illegal. If you absolutely have to connect then just book a long layover (8h+), book a hotel and take a VTL and you should be fine.

I will say 10 hours to be safe. To the country does not request pre departure test.

Your guess is as good as ours.

Speaking from personal experience, we had to order ride hailing after the airport PCR test. Maybe you can ask your grab driver to immediately turnaround and go to departure level.
We stayed in el cheapo hotel for the night as the stop in SIN is essentially an overnight transit for us. The hotel didn't mind us coming and going before/without the airport PCR test result.

most likely ICA system is going to reflect you as person under isolation (before receiving the negative test results). So once you go through the departure custom (if you have not gotten the negative result), most likely you will be flagged.

If you have the COVID vaccination + recovery there is no isolation.

If you do their checker:Pre-Departure Test exemption allowed as first positive test is between 7-90 days (inclusive) before departure. Please provide acceptable proof of your first positive test or discharge memo, in lieu of a negative pre-departure test, to the transport operator for boarding. No appeals are required. Refer to the Vaccinated-Recovered Traveller Protocol for more details.

Eligibility for exemption from inland border measures on arrival

Traveller is eligible for exemption from inland border measures on arrival. Positive test is between 7-90 days (inclusive) before date of departure. Please show acceptable proof of the positive test or discharge memo on arrival. Refer to the Vaccinated-Recovered Traveller Protocol for more details.

So it seems like you can enter, have no restrictions, and then board another flight if you wish.
