Transit
Policy/Standards
Along
with the list of destinations approved for transit travel, the
airline detailed its guidelines for travelers from eligible cities and booking travel involving connections.
Customers
will be able to book return trips if both the origin and destination
are approved transit destinations. All flights must be on Singapore
Airlines group operated flights on the same itinerary.
Round-trip
bookings with transfers will not be available if the destination is
not on the approved listing or the final destination is in mainland
China. Except trips to China, other routes can be booked as one-way
trips.
During
the transit in Singapore, travelers with a connection time of less
than 75 minutes will be directed to proceed to the gate of their next
flight. For longer layovers (no more than 48 hours), travelers will
stay in a designated zone separated at the departure terminal.
