Carrier surcharges on codeshare flights

When you fly with any of our partner airlines, the carrier surcharges may vary. Visit the respective partner airline website for the most up-to-date information.

Currency conversion fee

If the billing currency of your credit or debit card is different from the currency charged in your booking, your bank will perform a conversion at their prevailing exchange rate and may charge a conversion fee. Contact your bank for more information.

Foreign transaction fee

Whenever you pay for your flight with a credit / debit card, the transaction is processed in the country you’re departing from. So if your credit / debit card is issued in a country that’s different from the departure country, your bank may impose a foreign transaction fee. For more information on this fee, get in touch with your bank.

Payments made through PayPal are processed in Singapore, except for flights departing from Australia. If the credit / debit card linked to your PayPal account was issued outside of Singapore, your bank may impose a foreign transaction fee. If you’re departing from Australia, your PayPal transaction will then be processed in Australia. In this case, your transaction may incur a foreign transaction fee if your PayPal-linked credit / debit was issued outside of Australia.
