Singapore Airlines (SIA) is launching four-times weekly seasonal flights to Vancouver, Canada and Seattle in USA, from 2nd December 2021 to 15th February 2022. Two of these weekly Seattle-Vancouver-Singapore flights will operate as Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) services, providing eligible customers quarantine-free entry into Singapore.
Seasonal flights
In addition, the airline’s daily non-stop services from San Francisco, USA, to Singapore will be designated VTL services from Wednesday, 20th October 2021. These flights provide additional quarantine-free travel options for customers who wish to travel to and from North America, in addition to the earlier announced VTL services from Los Angeles and New York.
These two seasonal services enable SIA customers to enjoy seamless travel options to North America during the year-end holiday season. JoAnn Tan, Singapore Airlines Senior Vice President Marketing Planning said that SIA will continue to monitor the demand for air travel, and adjust its services accordingly.
SIA will deploy the 253-seater Airbus A350-900, with 42 Business Class seats, 24 Premium Economy Class seats and 187 Economy Class seats, on the Singapore-Vancouver-Seattle service.
Flight SQ28 will depart from Singapore at 0915hrs, arrive at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) at 0730hrs, and depart Vancouver at 0840hrs before arriving at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) at 0930hrs.
Flight SQ29, SIA’s twice-weekly designated VTL service, will depart from Seattle at 1100hrs, arrive at Vancouver at 1145hrs on the same day, depart from Vancouver at 1315hrs, and arrive in Singapore at 2205hrs the following day. Customers who fly on SQ29 must ensure that they meet all applicable VTL eligibility criteria.
SIA will also operate SQ27, a twice-weekly Seattle-Vancouver-Singapore service that is not a designated VTL flight. This would cater to customers who are ineligible to enter Singapore under the VTL arrangement. All times stated are local.
