✈️ Introduction
Redeeming miles for a Singapore Airlines (SQ) ticket is exciting—you’ve saved, planned, and secured your flight. But what if plans change? For seniors, flexibility is especially important, whether due to health, family, or simply wanting extra rest between flights. That’s where knowing the award flight change and cancellation fees comes in.

Singapore Airlines’ frequent flyer program, KrisFlyer, lets travelers redeem miles for award flights. But not all award tickets are equal.
Saver Awards: Require fewer miles but come with stricter change and cancel rules.
Advantage Awards: Cost more miles but offer greater flexibility and availability.
📊 Tip: Always weigh whether saving miles is worth the risk of higher change or cancel fees.
Saver Awards: Typically charge $25–50 for changes.
Advantage Awards: Often allow date/time changes for free or at lower cost.
👵 Example: A retiree from Boston had to push her flight two days later. Because she booked an Advantage Award, she paid no extra fee beyond the fare difference.
Usually come with higher fees than date changes.
Must be requested online or via the KrisFlyer service center.
Advantage tickets are more forgiving than Saver when changing cabins (e.g., Economy to Business).
Sometimes, plans fall through completely. Here’s what happens if you need to cancel an SQ award ticket:
Saver Awards: Cancellation typically costs $75–100 to redeposit miles back into your KrisFlyer account.
Advantage Awards: Fees are usually lower, and in some cases waived entirely.
Taxes & Fees: Refunded separately after cancellation.
⚠️ Important: Always cancel before your scheduled departure. If you don’t, your miles may be forfeited.

👉 Need help checking if your ticket qualifies for changes? Call 877-764-3622 before making adjustments.
“I had to cancel my trip for a medical procedure. Paying the $75 fee was worth it to get my 80,000 miles back.”
“I picked an Advantage Award for flexibility. Later, I switched my flight to a better time with no penalties.”
These examples show why it’s important to balance savings against flexibility when booking award flights.
Singapore Airlines offers award ticket changes and cancellations, but the fees depend on whether you booked Saver or Advantage. For seniors, Advantage often provides peace of mind—even if it costs more miles upfront. Knowing the rules ensures you won’t lose valuable miles.
