Hi. Thanks for your response. Quite frustrating. We were packed and ready to fly when we heard about the travel ban. We tried unsuccessfully to contact Singapore airlines to find out if our flight was canceled. Apparently their systems crashed. All airports were closed so we couldn’t even go and enquire.
