Singapore to Halt Ticket Sales for Quarantine-Free Travel Lanes

(Bloomberg) — Singapore will freeze ticket sales for flights and bus trips under its vaccinated travel lanes for entry from Dec. 23 to Jan. 20 as it tries to stem the importation of the omicron variant that is tearing around the globe.

The move applies to all 24 countries with which Singapore has agreements for quarantine-free air travel, as well as overland bus services with Malaysia, the government said Wednesday. People who already have tickets will be able to travel.
