This was very important to my wife as she has not been back to celebrate Chinese New Year for the past 8 years she has been in Singapore.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\">What was meant to be a very joyful event has unfortunately, got marred by the outbreak.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\">News broke out that the Wuhan coronavirus situation have escalated about a week and a half after touch-down. Instead of visiting relatives-in-law for Chinese New Year, or going to visit places in Haikou, Sanya or Baoting to enjoy ourselves, we confined ourselves at parents-in-law&#8217;s place.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\">Fortunately, it was quite safe &#8211; being a non-touristy area, we had, collectively, very few cases in the city and they are all away from the town I was staying in. The locals takes great effort to observe preventive measures (e.g. masks, social distancing). It also helps that the area is less population-dense in comparison to Singapore. It was to the extent we felt safer back in Hainan than we currently feel back here.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\">To make matters worse, we were also on the afternoon of 31st January, we found news of flight frequency reduction and change of flight days from Scoot which will affect our flight. We were not sent any notifications and had to find out through browsing their website. The only reason why we caught the notification was because our relatives in Singapore have hearsay and told us to look out for announcements, prompting us to visit Scoot&#8217;s website everyday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We had trouble calling in to Scoot on our end, but through proxy in Singapore (my brother managed to reach out to Scoot), their customer service assured us e-mails were sent to affected customers only, and since need not do anything about our flights except to keep an eye out for news.<\/p>\n<p>That very evening on the same day, at 11.50pm, we receive e-mail notification of our flight cancellation. The notification also covered news of suspension of flight effective from 4th February till 28th March and that they will refund the unused itinerary.<br \/><span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\">Both of us being gainfully employed in Singapore, we cannot afford to be locked down. There was no option to rebook earlier flights on our existing itinerary and we had to buy new one-way tickets. Only remaining flights available were on 1st and 2nd February, costing about SGD 500+ and SGD250+ each respectively.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><i>(Author&#8217;s Note: The whole point of us having bought the ticket to have us return back to Singapore on 4th February on the original itinerary was because the earlier dates were too expensive.)<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\">Attempts to reach out again to Scoot customer service for clarification fell flat and we were forced to buy the earliest available one-way flight back to Singapore on 1st February, fearing Scoot&#8217;s last-minute changes again that will make any recovery impossible. We packed our luggage within an hour and after another 8 hours or so, we boarded our flight back.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\">Upon return to our home back in Singapore, we took efforts to disinfect our home and ourselves. Once we were adequately rested, we reached out to Scoot and AXA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the kicker in summary: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scoot&#8217;s Customer Service advised they can&#8217;t do anything beyond refund of the original unused itinerary <\/li>\n<li>AXA&#8217;s Customer Service advised possibility of our circumstances not having grounds to make claim after hearing us out <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While we (both ourselves and our extended families on both side of the family trees) are safe and sound and I appreciate how Scoot has probably already tried within their means to respond to the escalation, I am disappointed of: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How Scoot has handled overall communications of the escalation <\/li>\n<li>How Scoot is unable to go further than refund of the unused portion of the original itinerary <\/li>\n<li>The possibility that AXA&#8217;s travel insurance cannot cover the increased cost of the replacement ticket. Nevertheless, going through the coverage, I do feel we still have a case. We are attempting and have made our claim and keep our fingers crossed it will work out in the end. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marksman-investment.blogspot.com\/2020\/02\/wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-quick.html#top\">(back to contents)<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/null\" id=\"quarantine\"\/><br \/><\/span> <u>Under Mandatory Quarantine <\/u><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: small;\">As a result of the situation escalating, we have been on Leave of Absence (mandatory quarantine) since touchdown back to Singapore.
