Flights 

Round-trip flights will be arranged through UNEP's designated travel agency, from the country of origin to Singapore.

Flights will be booked in economy class through the most cost-effective and time-efficient route available.

All sponsored participants shall travel in economy class unless facing special circumstances of travel, such as health considerations.

Proposed flight itineraries will be shared with participants for approval prior to ticket issuance.

Requests for private travel deviations will only be considered in exceptional circumstances. Once the proposed itinerary has been shared and approved, further changes may not be possible.

Please note that participants must retain their physical boarding passes for all flight segments to receive their full DSA payment.

Meals

Meals will be provided throughout the meeting period, including:

• Daily breakfast at the hotel
• Lunch and two coffee breaks during meeting days
• Dinner arrangements as outlined below

When an official dinner reception is not scheduled, participants will receive meal vouchers through GrabFood, Singapore's local food delivery platform. Vouchers will be provided at a value of SGD 20 per person per night. Guidance on downloading the application and placing orders will be provided to all participants (a local phone number/credit card will not be required).

Daily Subsistence Allowance (DSA)
