Fare types

Can I combine different fare types in a single trip?

Yes, you can. However, when you purchase a combination of fare types, the most restrictive conditions apply on cancellation fees.

Other conditions such as change fees, advance seat selection, baggage allowance, earning KrisFlyer miles and eligibility to redeem KrisFlyer miles for flight upgrades depend on your selected fare type on each flight segment.

Where can I find the fare conditions of my ticket?

If you purchase your ticket online, the full fare rules and conditions will be sent to your email address together with your e-ticket receipt upon your initial purchase. You can also enter your Booking Reference number and last name in the 'Manage Booking' on our website for a summary of fare conditions.

If you purchase your ticket through a travel agent, please refer to the travel agent that you purchased the ticket from.
