Singapore Airlines Flight Booking Change, Fee, Rules

In response to the COVID-19 situation, Singapore Airlines is offering complimentary rebooking for all flight tickets issued up to December 31, 2021 (if issued on/after March 5, 2020). If your ticket was issued on or before December 31, 2021, you have the option to change your flight date and/or flight time without being charged a flight change fee. You can also transfer any add-ons to your new flight, such as additional baggage, seats, etc., if you have already purchased them. Add-on deals you’ve purchased for baggage, seats, etc., will be refunded to you as they cannot be purchased.

Singapore Airlines Flight Change Rules

The Singapore Airlines flight change rules allow you to make unlimited changes to your booking for free if your ticket was issued between March 5, 2020 and December 31.

Flight Change Date	What You Can Do
Up to December 31, 2021	Make unlimited changes to your flight for free
After December 31, 2021	Make a one-time change to your flight for free

The Singapore Airlines flight change rules allow you to:

Make as many changes to your booking as you like for free up to December 31, and
Make one more change for free after December 31

This flight change rule applies to both tickets purchased by cash/credit/debit card and tickets redeemed with KrisFlyer Miles.

The flight change rules further state that your booking change fees will be waived if you’re eligible for complimentary rebooking, but you must, however, pay the fare difference, if any.

You must make changes to your flight booking either before your original travel date or within 1 year from the date of issue of your ticket, whichever falls first. This means if you purchased a ticket on July 10, 2021, you must make the desired flight changes before July 10. You’ll find the date of issue of your ticket on the e-ticket attached to your booking confirmation mail.

All flight changes must be made at least 2 hours before a flight’s departure.

Note. If you had booked your ticket on/before March 15, for travel up to March 31, you’re still eligible for Singapore Airlines’ travel waiver policy, which allows you to cancel your flight and claim a full refund or convert the value of your ticket into bonus travel credits for future travel.
