But with various airlines resuming flights from Changi Airport, your next getaway might be closer than you think. We've rounded up a few airlines that are resuming flights out of Singapore in June and July, so you can start bookmarking them.

Singapore Airlines & SilkAir

Local carriers Singapore Airlines and SilkAir are resuming routes to several destinations in June and July, and increasing the number of flights for some of its other services. 

The resumed scheduled services include flights to Amsterdam, Barcelona, Christchurch, Hong Kong, Melbourne and Osaka – of course, subjected to regulatory approvals and changes. But there is some hope that soon, you'll be able to go on a road trip around New Zealand or embark on a food hunt in Osaka again.

To ensure travellers' peace of mind when travelling, the airline has extended its booking policies – allowing unlimited date changes, and passengers can change their destination as often as they need within 5,000 miles of the original destination. No fare differences will be charged for travel completed before 31 December 2020, after which fare rules apply. All tickets booked for travel up to 31 December 2020 will be valid for two years from the date of issuance.
