Singapore Airlines will launch four-times-weekly seasonal services to Vancouver and Seattle from December 2021.

Running from December 2, 2021, until February 15, 2022, two of the weekly Seattle-Vancouver-Singapore flights will operate as Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) services, providing eligible customers quarantine-free entry into Singapore.

SIA is also converting its daily non-stop services from San Francisco, USA, to Singapore, to designated VTL services from Wednesday, October 20, 2021. These provide additional quarantine-free travel options for customers who wish to travel to and from North America, on top of the earlier announced VTL services from Los Angeles and New York.

“With the new Singapore-Vancouver-Seattle flights and the conversion of San Francisco-Singapore to a VTL service, SIA customers can enjoy even more seamless travel options to North America during the year-end holiday season,” says JoAnn Tan, Senior Vice President Marketing Planning, Singapore Airlines. “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 9.15 am, arrive at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) at 7.30 am, and depart Vancouver at 8.40 am before arriving at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) at 9.30 am.

Flight SQ29, SIA’s twice-weekly designated VTL service, will depart from Seattle at 11.00 am, arrive at Vancouver at 11.45 am on the same day, depart from Vancouver at 1.15 pm, and arrive in Singapore at 8.05 pm 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.

On the San Francisco service, flight SQ34 departs Singapore at 6.40 pm and arrives at 7.05 pm. The return flight SQ33 departs San Francisco at 10.05 pm and arrives in Singapore at 5.45 am two days later. For this service, SIA operates the 161-seat Airbus A350-900 ULR with 67 Business Class seats and 94 Premium Economy Class seats.

The addition of San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver expands the SIA Group’s VTL network to 17 cities. SIA will operate VTL services from Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, London, Los Angeles, Milan, New York, Paris, and Rome from October 19, 2021, and Seoul from November 16, 2021. These are on top of the existing VTL services from Bandar Seri Begawan, Frankfurt, and Munich. Scoot, SIA’s sister airline, will begin VTL flights from Berlin on October 20, 2021.

Multi-city itineraries within VTL countries are allowed if customers meet the eligibility criteria. Customers travelling on the VTL flights also enjoy fuss-free transfers via Singapore Changi Airport to 59 destinations within the SIA Group network.
