RSAF55 Familiarisation Flights 2023: Balloting For RSAF Open House’s Flights & More

The FormSG ballot is the primary way that the general public can attempt to get seats on the RSAF55 familiarisation flights.

 

The FormSG ballot for the RSAF flights open on 20 July 2023 at 12 pm. The link to the FormSG ballot is https://go.gov.sg/famflightballoting.

 

The ballot will be open for five weeks, until August 22 at 12 pm. 

 

Eligible applicants may submit applications for up to four tickets. You will need to log in with your SingPass app. The applications will then go through a randomised electronic balloting system.

 

Each applicant is only allowed one ballot chance, with the most recent submission being the final one.

 

The familiarisation flight’s date, time, and type of aircraft will all be chosen at random as part of the ballot. Successful group ballots with multiple tickets will be given priority to be on the same aircraft.

 

Successful applicants will be informed by end August.

 

They will receive non-transferrable digital e-ticket(s) marked with their personal details, as well as administrative instructions such as the reporting time, location and attire through the email address provided through FormSG.

 

These tickets are strictly not for sale or exchange.

 

The RSAF will also be holding Instagram giveaways on the RSAF’s Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/thersaf).

 

There will be two separate giveaways: from 21 to 27 July, and 29 July to 4 August.

 

Members of the public who wish to participate in these Social Media Giveaways for a pair of tickets on a familiarisation flight will need to take the following steps:

 

1. follow the RSAF’s Instagram page;

2. leave a ‘Like’ on the giveaway post; and

3. follow any other instructions on the post and tag three friends in the comments section.
