In this case, it is a Singaporean Government rule requiring passengers on flights from certain countries to be held in the holding area. One of which is Denmark. Not much fun being confined in 1 area. Can't really expect SQ to put up facilities in the holding area when pax from all airlines are...

Anyone transit through Changi recently ex-Aus? I know that travellers from certain countries are held within a transit holding area if they come from a high risk country, but does thjs apply to Australians given our high case numbers, would love to be able to walk around the terminal/use the...

Wowsa, that's a itinerary ! At least they got flights home and you've managed to recover some of the KLM fare and you can still utilise the Scoot fare. I hadn't realised Scoot had returned flying to ATH !

Did you mention you were transitting? Even if you did, the SQ call line operator isn't going to know all the various Govt rules on transitting. If you tried to get the SQ operator to book you a flight from BKK-BOM they wouldn't have been able to due to India's rules re SIN flights as the system...

I don't think your new ticket situation is getting you anywhere. The problem as per my earlier post is that you can only travel SIN-BOM if you originate in SIN, you can cannot be a transit passenger this is an Indian Gov requirement. Go try book a flight from BKK-BOM on SQ's website, you can't...

Yeh the 2 different flights on 2 different airlines on different bookings is problematic. Unfortunately that KLM flight is effectively gone unless you can extract some sort of refund/flight credit by cancelling. Your best option is still booking SQ or SQ/Scoot on the same booking from AMS-MEL...

Unfortunately that is not an option, to enter as a short term visitor under the VTL you need to apply for a VTP, you have to apply for a VTP between 7-60 days prior to entry to Singapore.

Don't like your chances, multiple issues: 1) Flights aren't on a single booking 2) TG aren't authorised to be a transit airline in SIN 3) your biggest issue is that SIN-India flights can only carry passengers ex SIN. You cannot transit through Singapore to travel to India. Thats why you can't...

Will probably just cover a doctor's consultation, a night's stay in hospital and a week's worth of painkillers in the US... Definitely go for a policy with unlimited medical coverage.

bruised egos Fixed grammar in original post.

With Omicron now confirmed to be in Sydney, if there is any additional community spread, this could be mean more hoops for Australian's hoping to head overseas in the next few weeks. Worst case scenario is that countries block Australians from entering altogether.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59442149 61 passengers out of ~600 passengers on two JNB-AMS flights tested positive to COVID, authorities aren't sure which variant those who tested positive have. That's a very high rate [10%] and those who were on the planes who initially tested...

Thanks! Looks like there is an updated statement for Amex CC insurance whom Chubb provide cover for: https://www.americanexpress.com/content/dam/amex/au/insurance/pdf/Covid19_Cover_Statement_Insurance_with_Your_Card_Chubb.pdf The underlying PDS's for each card don't seem to have been updated...

I thought they were doing a soft opening according to this article Singapore Airlines reopens Sydney, Melbourne lounges Possibly, the "soft launch" only includes the afternoon/evening flights rather than the early morning one? (Edit: article says, soft launch covers evening flights only)...

Has anyone booked a Hilton property through the Hotel Collection from Amex? I'm trying to add the booking to the Hilton app (notwithstanding I probably won't get points/status recognised), but the confirmation number provided by Amex is 13 digits (not the Amex travel confirmation number)...

If the insurer is being that opaque, I'd be safe and spend the few hundred dollars and get a policy which explicitly states COVID-19 coverage. Given that insurers generally don't make it easy to claim at the best of times, I wouldn't be rolling the dice on wording in the PDS which lawyers could...

Early April to mid-April, there is plenty of availability to DEL, not sure about other cities. Fair enough, I can't say I've searched extensively for star alliance partners on Krisflyer. I generally keep KF miles for SQ flights only as getting SQ awards on other star alliance programs is...

Generally the results on Krisflyer are pretty accurate, you tend not to get phantom space or available space which doesn't show up. You can always do a search on another Star Alliance member search engine to see if there is award space showing, but I don't think calling SQ asking them to find...

Yes, but availability is scratchy depending on route/date.
