Singapore on Oct. 19 will begin allowing vaccinated U.S. residents to enter the country without quarantining.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The eased restrictions are coming through Singapore’s Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTL) program, which will end the 14-day quarantine requirement for vaccinated passengers arriving on designated VTL flights.\u00a0<\/p>\n
U.S. residents, however, still will have to get a Covid-19 PCR test within 48 hours of their flight’s departure and also upon arrival at Singapore’s Changi Airport.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Singapore Airlines has designated its daily services from New York JFK, Los Angeles and San Francisco as VTL flights, plus twice-weekly seasonal service from Seattle that stops in Vancouver (Dec. 3 though Feb. 22).<\/p>\n
The airline actually will operate the Seattle-Vancouver-Singapore service four times per week but only flights departing on Tuesdays and Saturdays will be VTL flights.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Singapore Airlines has not designated the one-stop services that resume next month to Singapore from JFK via Frankfurt and to Singapore from San Francisco via Hong Kong as VTL flights.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Travelers can use any available flight out of Singapore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Singapore Airlines is the only carrier currently serving the U.S. from Singapore.<\/p>\n
