They don't bother you during flight in First.

AC is actually cloth masks and flights ex-Canada (from places that have a more relaxed stance) TO Quebec are 10+.

Why do these foreign airlines still have 2+ for US flights?

If you thought this wasn’t confusing…
Usually ‘no face mask requirement’ means none if it doesn’t apply to destination or origin country (vs airlines that require for every flight), at least Swiss is very clear about it..

Officially Singapore still requires masks.
But I doubt they will look into your suite to check.

Is Japan your destination? Looking to transit, but it doesn't seem that would be allowed unless it's on one ticket.

Hanoi was my destination on one ticket.
I'm returning on 2 tickets. ANA to JAL switching in Tokyo.
Have no luggage don't need to exit in Tokyo.
Taking the risk.
You can ask me how it went at the end of the week. :-)

Wearing a face mask on board of our flights is recommended as from the age of 6 years, but no longer mandatory.
