I had planned a trip LAX-CMB on SQ11/SQ468 for Apr 1st and reluctantly booked the transit hotel for my 21hr transit. Travelling F, but 21hrs is just way too long to meander around and sit at the lounge. The VTL option didn't work either given the post-arrival testing requirements don't facilitate a transit time < 24hr.
Lo and behold... this morning I get the notification that Singapore has opened up for all flights for vaccinated travelers. Spent a bit of time researching and immediately cancelled the Transit Hotel reservation and booked a hotel in the city. The requirements appear to be the following:
1. PDT 2 days prior to departure (PCR or Antigen)
2. Fill out the SG Arrival Card (https://eservices.ica.gov.sg/sgarrivalcard/ within 72hrs of departure)
3. Get the COVID insurance (cost me SGD $14 via AIG)
4. Download the TraceApp and do the needful
The whole list of details is available here: https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/arrivi...lly-vaccinated
Been a year since I visited SIN. I did transit briefly in May 2021 on the same route (non-stop from LAX-SIN) and had the difficult experience of being isolated in the transit hotel for 14hrs without being able to leave the room.
Glad to see things going back to normal. Now lets see what the flight experience is going to be like... seems no more Dom unfortunately (first world problems)!
