Wuhan Virus: Status of all Singapore-China flights

With connections from Singapore to over 20 cities in China, which flights are still operating, and which are not? Note: This is a developing article, updates will be made periodically. Last update: 10 Feb 11pm, Singapore Time:– Further reductions to Singapore Airlines & Silkair services to China Update on 5 February 10am, Singapore Time: – Update to Scoot in-flight services to Macau & Hong Kong– Update to Jetstar schedules The Wuhan coronavirus (nothing to do with Corona beer, guys) is definitely making everyone sit up and mask up, with many countries issuing travel advisories to defer or cancel non-essential travel to China.

LOUNGE REVIEW: Plaza Premium Lounge, Rome Fiumicino Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport, Terminal 3

I had a late night flight out of Rome’s Fiumicino airport, and after spending an entire week in the city I was pretty happy to head to the airport early for a leisurely check-in, and then check out the lounges.
