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?

All flight credits must be utilised, and the new travel itinerary must be completed by 31 December 2022.

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.

GWP: Eligibility

How do I know if my ticket is eligible for flight credits?

Customers holding tickets issued on or before 15 March 2020 and had originally planned their travels up to 31 March 2021 are eligible. The value of the unused portion of these tickets will be retained as flight credits, which can be used to book new itineraries for travel up till 31 December 2022.

This applies to all 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. For tickets purchased directly with Singapore Airlines, you may use our Assistance Request Form to submit your request. Customers who booked their tickets via travel agents should contact them directly for assistance.

My ticket was purchased with KrisFlyer miles. What can I do?

Award tickets redeemed with KrisFlyer miles, as well as tickets purchased with “Mix KrisFlyer Miles and Cash”, are not eligible for flight credits or bonus flight credits. You may request for a full refund of your tickets, with waiver of miles redeposit fees and cancellation fees.

I have flown partially on my ticket. What can I do?

If your ticket is covered under our travel waiver policy and you no longer wish to fly, you can opt for a full refund of the unused portion of your ticket with waiver of cancellation fees.

If you still wish to travel on the unused sectors of your ticket at a later date, you may choose to convert the unused portion of your ticket to flight credits for future bookings before 31 December 2022. Please note that bonus flight credits will not be applicable for partially flown tickets.

Are bookings on Scoot eligible for bonus flight credits?

The full unused value of the ticket can be retained as flight credits. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of this Policy, such tickets shall also be eligible for bonus flight credits.

This travel waiver policy does not, however, apply to tickets purchased directly with Scoot.

My original ticket is a codeshare flight. Is my ticket eligible for bonus flight credits?

Yes, if your codeshare flight was booked via Singapore Airlines and your ticket meets all conditions of the travel waiver policy.

If I opt for the bonus flight credits option, what will happen to my ancillary charges such as additional baggage allowance and seat selection fees?

Processing time for the refunds of tickets, including those with any ancillaries associated with the booking, will take longer. Any ancillaries will be refunded at the same time as the ticket.

If you booked directly with Singapore Airlines, you will receive an email notification once your refund request has been processed. It may then take up to 6 weeks for the amount to be credited back to your original mode of payment, subject to your bank’s processing time.

If you booked via a travel agency, please contact them directly to find out the status of your refund.

I booked my trip with several other travel companions. How are flight credits and bonus flight credits allocated among us?

When a booking is made for multiple customers, each customer receives a ticket in his or her name.

Under this policy, flight credits equivalent to the full unused fare and taxes of each ticket will be allocated to the customer whose name is on the ticket. The customer can then choose between bonus flight credits or opt for a refund. Only customers who select the bonus flight credits option will be awarded the bonus credits.

How can I use my flight credits and bonus flight credits?

You can choose to book itineraries for your preferred destination on your preferred cabin class and on any travel date as long as the trip is completed by 31 December 2022. If the cost of the new itinerary exceeds the total value of your flight credits, a top-up will be required. If the cost is lower, any remaining flight credits can be used for a second trip before 31 December 2022. Any remaining credits after 31 December 2022 will be forfeited.

When you’re ready to rebook, submit a request via our Assistance Request Form and choose the “Change or rebook your flight” option. All rebooking fees will be waived.

Can my flight credits be split and used to purchase multiple bookings?

No. Flight credits may not be split to purchase multiple bookings. The credits must first be used to completely offset the purchase of one booking, before any remaining credits can be used to offset the purchase of a second booking.

Why is the offset of my flight credits capped at two ticket purchases? What if I have leftover flight credits after purchasing two tickets?

We regret that any remaining flight credits will be forfeited. Please contact us if you need more assistance.

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