The SIA painted 737 will now most likely to be repainted to Silkair livery for the time being. It was supposed to be the first SQ 737 when Silkair were to be integrated into SIA by end of this year but it looks like this will not happen and will be delayed by a year or more.

I think Singaporeans can forget about travelling this year. The impact on SQ is going to be heavier.
With the government announcing their (excessive) plans to “gradually” reopen over “many months”....
I personally feel it’s idealistic and pointless; more economic and social damage than necessary. They just refuse to learn from the likes of NZ Korea, HK...Taiwan and how it’s done better.

Not surprised they will err on the side of caution.
But wait... learning from North Korea? Or is that a typo?

NZ & Korea
I think there were already quite a large number of people calling for the lockdown/CB earlier in March, when the numbers were obviously climbing.
its just frustrating that now Singapore is on the back foot versus all our asian neighbours, thanks in part to the complacency of the government.
anyway lets save politics for another chat

I actually believe that Singapore splitting off the dorm cases into a separate list, providing information on local transmission and, hopefully, using that for contact tracing, at least important business travel can proceed if not frivolous holiday trips.
As a person/company that was allowed to carry on operating from the office during CB, if there is a list of Essential Service Companies out of Singapore, I hope I will be on it as I was locally. This could give me an "allowance" to travel overseas for work as I do need a couple of visits to clear some issues. This would be a similar approach to what I believe HK is taking towards mainland visitors, only those deemed essential are allowed entry first.
I think the pricing of tickets will price-out those frivolous holiday trips at least through the rest of this year.

Originally posted by 9V-SML View PostReporting back, I just received my refund notice from SQ. In short: “You will receive the refund within 4 to 6 weeks, to allow time for the banks to carry out the necessary processes for payment.”
Looks like I should receive the refund to my credit card by mid-June 2020.
Hope this is reflective of your refund experience as well!

I just received an email from Singapore Airlines about our refund request, but I find it odd for a number of reasons, including, that our flight was from Istanbul-Sydney, not to Bangkok, and I do not feel comfortable to send a photo of our credit card via email. I find this email from SQ rather unprofessional. At first, I thought it a fake, but the PNR and Ticket Number are correct, as is my name and the last 4 digits of the credit card, also correct. The email address is xxxxx_xxxxx@singaporeair.com.sg
Would love to hear your thoughts.
Dear Mr xxxxx ,
We have found out you have asked for full refund for your ticket from Istanbul to Bangkok under ticket number xxxxx .
Please kindly note that our colleagues tried to refund the ticket and found out your credit card used this card with 4 last digits, xxxx has already expired.
Can you kindly give us the new details for this credit card or any alternate card detail and fill in the attached form so that we can refund your money to the new credit card.
