SINGAPORE, Feb 12 (The Straits Times/ANN): Malaysian Joseph Soosai and his sister were looking forward to attending their niece's wedding in Singapore on Feb 5, but the high airfares under a quarantine-free travel scheme and the costs associated with numerous Covid-19 tests put paid to their plans.
Soosai, 69, said he would have had to fork out RM1,600 (S$515) each for a return vaccinated travel lane (VTL) flight on either Malaysia Airlines (MAS) or Singapore Airlines (SIA).
