[Updated: 2nd December 2020]

After what seems like an eternity spent in the waiting room of hell, the first air travel bubble in Asia is set to provide some respite.
It can be overwhelming to try and figure out the details of travel amidst the flurry of information floating around everywhere.
We've pored through countless articles and links to distill the most exceptional resources that will help you detangle the confusion surrounding the Hong Kong-Singapore air travel bubble.
Before you set off
The Hong Kong Tourism Board has pulled together an extremely easy to digest directory for travellers headed in either direction. Simple diagrams illustrate what you need to do before, during and after you travel. Talk about great user experience.
In summary, here are the 10 essential steps to get your ducks in a row:
- Ensure you are eligible
- Buy a ticket for a designated flight
- Take a COVID-19 test within 72 hours of your departure
- Book and pay for your post-arrival COVID-19 test before flying
- Complete your online health declaration form before flying
- Check in at the airport and show your negative test result
- Have a safe flight
- Get tested upon arrival
- Enjoy your stay
- Don't be a covidiot

Part of ensuring you, and others get to enjoy the rewards of the air travel bubble is to avoid behaving like a covidiot.
An air travel bubble is a privilege not many others are able to enjoy. While a holiday usually invites you to let your hair down, we politely ask you do so while continuing to exercise civic responsibility.
Wear your mask at all times while you're out in public. Observe social group limits in the respective countries. Do not test the group limit of F&B establishments when you're out revelling (these businesses cannot afford to shut due to your self-centredness). Opt for activities that distance you from crowds - as both Hong Kong and Singapore are renowned for their nature parks, trails and hikes, might we suggest reconnecting with nature?
