Global Travel Waiver Policy (GWP)

GWP: Using flight credits

What are flight credits?

Singapore Airlines has introduced flight credits in April 2020 for customers with tickets issued on or before 15 March 2020, and for those who had originally planned to travel by 31 March 2021, to give customers a peace of mind during these uncertain times and greater flexibility in their booking options in the future.

Customers with tickets that are covered under our travel waiver policy can cancel their existing flight bookings using our Assistance Request Form and retain the full value of the unused fare and taxes portion of their tickets as flight credits. Once they have decided on their new travel plans, customers may use the flight credits to book their new flight itineraries, which must be completed by 31 December 2022.

What are bonus flight credits?

Bonus flight credits are awarded to customers with tickets that are covered under our travel waiver policy who choose to retain their tickets as flight credits. This is our way of thanking them for their support during this challenging period. Customers will receive bonus flight credits based on the cabin class that they were originally booked on.

This applies to tickets purchased either directly from Singapore Airlines or via travel agents, except where tickets were purchased with KrisFlyer miles or HighFlyer points, on a child or infant fare, or where tickets are partially flown.

If my tickets were purchased though a travel agent, am I eligible for the bonus flight credits option and the refund option?

Yes, this policy also applies to tickets purchased through our travel agents, subject to our terms and conditions. Do note that travel agents may charge fees, depending on the terms and conditions of your booking with the agency.

Travel agents who require assistance or have queries on the waiver policy may contact their local Singapore Airlines sales office directly. Customers who are unable to contact their travel agents may reach out to their local reservation offices.

If my tickets were purchased through a travel agent, must I rebook with the same agent?

For tickets purchased through a travel agency, please contact your agent for assistance to cancel your existing bookings and retain the unused value of your tickets as flight credits.

Once you are ready to travel, simply contact the same travel agent who will be able to assist you by using the flight credits to offset your new flight itinerary. You will also receive bonus flight credits if your ticket is eligible.

Any rebooking fees payable to Singapore Airlines will be waived. Do note that travel agents may charge fees, depending on the terms and conditions of your booking with the agency.

When will my flight credits expire?

Can I extend my travel beyond 31 December 2022?

No. Flight credits can only be used for travel up to 31 December 2022, unless otherwise extended by Singapore Airlines.

If you have yet to update your contact details in Manage Booking, you may not receive the notification. As the notifications are sent out in batches, some passengers may receive the notification earlier than others.

If your booking includes a flight operated by a partner airline, you should also update your contact details with them.

How far in advance will I be notified if my flight is cancelled?

Flight cancellations can happen any time before departure. However, we strive to inform affected passengers as soon as possible.

If you have an upcoming flight, do update your contact details in Manage Booking to receive timely updates about schedule changes. You may also check the status of your flight to ensure that there are no changes.

If my flight was cancelled and I received flight and bonus credits, must I use them immediately?
