(21 Oct 2021) British Airways has launched quarantine-free Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) flights between Singapore and London Heathrow. Fully vaccinated travellers who have tested negative for COVID19 travelling to Singapore from London can now avoid the need to quarantine for 7 days on arrival. Long and short term pass holders must apply for a Singapore Vaccinated Travel Pass 7 days to 30 days before travel. Singaporeans do not need to apply for VTP. All customers must ensure that they are eligible for Singapore’s VTL arrangements before their flight commences, and that they are fully vaccinated. Children under 12 are exempt but must be accompanied by vaccinated adults. Further restrictions and exemptions apply. Noella Ferns, British Airways’ Head of Sales, Asia Pacific, said, “Singapore’s expansion of the VTL arrangements to the UK is great news for our customers, who can now reunite with their loved ones more easily. The safety of our customers and colleagues has always been at the heart of everything we do. We have introduced a range of precautionary measures onboard our flights to provide stress and hassle-free travel.” British Airways has introduced a number of measures at the airport and on board to look after the safety and wellbeing of its customers and employees. These include social distancing measures, the wearing of face masks and hand sanitiser stations. Prior to travel customers will also receive details of how they can prepare for their journey, including information on discounted testing providers.
