UA’s June schedule just came out. SIN has been taken out of the schedule once again. Not sure if the China flights will happen:

I’m afraid that China is not going to lift the restriction that each airline can only operate one single flight each week to China.

UA is proposing 28 weekly flights? Not going to happen.

Is there a nice website that tracks every country's covid related entry policies so I can easily see which countries are open for tourists so one doesn't need to check every country individually. Of course it will be an even bigger task to then see which ones actually have tourist attractions open. I know it's early now but at some point there will be a need

First of all, the restrictions are quite a bit more complex than what you have written, and I will note that JL and KE still operate lots of flights.

Second, of course China will relax the rules when it sees fit, presumably coinciding with lifting of the travel bans.

This list is the one I use.

Thanks! This is a very useful link.

Unless I misread it, the US information seems not complete. The travel ban only apply to EU member states, UK and China but not any other countries in Asia, America’s and Oceania.

Well, our next TPACs were 872/871 in June/July, purchased early in Q1. With the recent schedule upload, both the June 872 legs were cancelled. Guess we won't visit the USA this summer... now it's anybody's guess when we'll cross the ocean again. BR and CI are still flying direct to the USA, and we could even fly BR TPE-SFO then UA NRT-SFO..... but it hardly seems worth the trouble knowing we'd have to quarantine for two weeks arriving back home.

I really miss UA TPACs.

This. SIN especially as it is a key transfer hub for me.

But still subject to quarantine? Or no quarantine/some proof of immunity/after a test?

No one knows at this point.

Understood that no one knows yet.

But my question is, what will you be willing to accept as a frequent traveller in terms of restrictions to fly to and enter SIN? 14 days of enforced quarantine for instance?

If I am allowed to transfer at SIN (no entry) then I will proceed ASAP. If all flight arrivals are subject to many day quarantine then I have to postpone.

I have biz in SIN as well, but enough elsewhere in S/SE Asia that I could skip through this time and come back later.

Prior to borders shutting down, I had left personal and business belongings in Singapore in order to rush back home in the US. I have an outstanding C ticket to return to Singapore.

If I could just transit without quarantine, I would coordinate with my Singapore colleagues to fly to China together from Singapore, and have them bring my belongings. Despite the economic slow down, China is still the place to be for doing business. I’d happy to do the 14-day quarantine in China despite overly speculated negative reactions about quarantine facilities there.

If China and Singapore can come to a quarantine agreement like the one is being proposed between China and South Korea, I’d be happier to do the 14-day quarantine in Singapore and don’t need to do one in China.

I have work commitments in Australia and China, and if there is a mutual recognition of quarantine or testing between jurisdictions, it would really help out the frequent business travelers and also the travel industries in general.

I can't for the life of me remember if I emptied the fridge, disconnected it and left the fridge doors open (like I normally do) in my Beijing apartment.
If I didn't, I sure hope there wasn't a prolonged power failure or a blown circuit! :eek:

Just out of curiosity, what are some of the negative things you've heard? Tmk, you get to pick hotels or serviced apartments from a list, and the rates are below average market. Most of my friends chose based on room size and in room amenities. Their digs looked pretty nice to me.
