  • 4.2.1 Be neatly and appropriately attired when travelling;

Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such travel documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be the sole responsibility of the traveller/s. At all times, it will be the responsibility of the traveller to ensure that his/her passport is in order and that he/she has the necessary visa clearances to enter the country of destination and, if required, any transit point.

4.10 In the event of a missed connection resulting from a flight delay, passengers will be rebooked on the next available Singapore Airlines operated flight to the same destination. In such cases, SIA will not be liable for any additional expenses incurred and/or the cost of alternate travel arrangements (i.e. outside of SIA operated flights) made by passengers as a result of the delay.

4.11 Tickets are not transferable and must be issued only in the correct name of the person travelling.
