Before you fly with us again, find out more about the changes at every stage of your journey and the steps you should take to travel safer and more seamlessly.
A little preparation goes a long way, especially if you are flying during this time when many destinations have introduced new travel requirements. Additionally, you should also ensure that you have a valid passport and visa before you fly.
As entry restrictions may change at short notice, do check travel advisories regularly to stay informed on test or quarantine requirements.
Check travel advisories
If a pre-departure or post-arrival test for Covid-19 is listed in the travel advisories for your itinerary, make an appointment early. You may also need to ensure that your testing window meets entry requirements.

We encourage all passengers to minimise their time at the airport by turning on auto check-in, checking in online, or checking in with the SingaporeAir mobile app if they are eligible to do so. Even if you are required to check in at the airport counter, be assured that there are many safety precautions in place to make your departure safe and smooth.
Singapore Airlines customers flying to South East Asian destinations, Dhaka in Bangladesh and Colombo in Sri Lanka should check in at Terminal 2. For Singapore Airlines flights to other destinations, check-in will remain at Terminal 3.
From 48 hours to 90 minutes before flight departure, you can check in online or via the SingaporeAir mobile app. If you have turned on auto check-in in Manage Booking, you will receive an email confirmation once we have checked you in.
If you are eligible for a digital or mobile boarding pass, generate them after checking in. If you wish to check in your baggage yourself (selected airports only), declare the number of bags for later printing of baggage tags at the airport, to minimise contact with the self-service kiosk.
If you have declared the number of bags you are checking in online, you can use self-service kiosks at selected airports to print your baggage tags, by simply scanning your digital or mobile boarding pass. Otherwise, you can declare checked baggage via the kiosks to generate. You will be prompted to scan your digital or mobile boarding pass. At Changi Airport, these kiosks are fitted with proximity sensors, so you will only need to hover your finger over the screen to make your selection.
Once you have printed your baggage tags, attach them to your bags and drop them off at the automated bag drop counters. These automated bag drops counters are available at selected airports, including Changi Airport in Singapore.
As you might expect, we have introduced safety precautions and stepped up cleaning protocols in our lounges, upholding a high level of sanitation and hygiene standards.

To enter the lounge, simply show us your mobile boarding pass on the SingaporeAir mobile app.
Shower facilities are available at the SilverKris Lounge and the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge in Singapore Changi Airport. Between each use, we clean the shower rooms thoroughly. A fresh set of towels will be provided to you.
When your flight is ready for boarding, you will be informed via a push notification from the SingaporeAir mobile app.

We have stepped up our cabin cleaning standard, and have simplified our in-flight service to comply with regulatory requirements, as well as to minimise on board interaction.
Sanitised cabin environment
Before every flight, the aircraft is thoroughly cleaned. Commonly-touched surfaces are disinfected. Lavatories are cleaned with high-strength disinfectants and cabin surfaces are treated with a long-lasting antimicrobial coating.
Filtered, clean air
Every aircraft in the Singapore Airlines Group fleet is equipped with High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters, which remove more than 99.9% of the microbes in the air. Cabin air is also refreshed every two to three minutes throughout the flight.
Food safety and hygiene standards
In preparing your in-flight meals, our catering partners uphold the highest hygiene standards including personal protective equipment for food handlers and using automation to reduce contact. Do note that meal services may be simplified or temporarily unavailable on certain flights to meet regulatory requirements.
Here are some additional measures you can take to safeguard your health during your journey.
