Student privileges

If you are under 16 years old, you will not be able to verify your student status online.

If you are a student under 16 with documentary proof, you may contact Singapore Airlines to purchase student tickets

This verification is conducted by a third-party service, SheerID, on behalf of Singapore Airlines.
Your information will be used by SheerID to verify that you are a student. Click here to view SheerID FAQs.

You can verify your student status online if your educational institution is in the countries or regions listed here.

If the country/region of your educational institution is not listed above, you will not be able to verify yourself as a student. If you would like for your institution to be included, you may submit a request here. We are constantly reviewing the list of countries/regions that we can expand to include, please check back periodically for more updates.

To ensure that you are not missing your school in the list, type out the full name of your school. If your school is not on the list, then you are not eligible for student verification on our website at this point in time. You may wish to submit a request through the school request form.

Online verification is only available for tertiary institutions, i.e. post-secondary colleges, universities. Non-tertiary institutions such as secondary schools and boarding schools will not be verifiable through our online portal.

If you are unable to be verified through our website, you can still purchase student fares by contacting Singapore Airlines if you have the necessary documentary proof of your student status.

You can provide up to three school-issued documents that clearly show the following details:

• Your first name
  
• Your last name
• Name of your educational institution
• A date that shows you are enrolled for the current term, or an issue date that’s no older than 6 months.

Examples of some acceptable documents include student ID card, offer letter, enrolment letter, tuition receipt, or transcript. Do redact any sensitive information on the documents before uploading them.

If you are having trouble uploading, please make sure that the total file size of all your documents is less than 10MB, and you have attached a maximum of 3 documents.

An email notification will be sent to you when your student status is successfully verified. You may also receive notification emails requesting you to upload supporting documents for further verification. It may take up to 48 hours to receive this email notification. During this time, please refrain from re-verifying yourself as this may result in verification errors.

Documents are reviewed in the order received. You will be contacted via email within the next 48 hours with additional details regarding your verification request.

Verification may have failed because the document submitted does not meet our requirements. Do ensure that your document was issued less than three months ago, clearly states your first name, last name, name of your educational institution—and matches what you’ve entered in the student verification form.

If the uploaded document meets the requirements above but you are unable to get verified, please contact SheerID Help Centre .

You will be able to enjoy 10% off round trip fares* on all Economy fare types or Premium Economy Class Lite or Standard fare types when you purchase your tickets online. Oneway fares will be priced at 45% off regular round trip fares for the above fare types*.

*Student discounts are not applicable on promotional fares.

Student discounts are applicable to all flights operated by Singapore Airlines and partner airlines if the e-ticket was issued by SIA. This means booking directly with us on our website, mobile app, or through our reservations and ticketing offices. E-tickets issued by SIA will start with ‘618’. 

Additionally, you will enjoy:

1. Baggage allowance of 50kg (for Business Class) or 40kg (for Economy Class and Premium Economy Class). Students flying to and from the United States or Canada can check in a total of 3 pieces of baggage, each weighing up to 32kg (for Business Class) or 23kg (for Economy Class and Premium Economy Class).
2. One-time change fee waiver for the first change made to your booking. (Please note that this only covers the waiver of the change fee penalty.  Any fare difference resulting from this change remains chargeable.)
3. 12-month validity on your ticket

Students benefits such as free booking change and extra free baggage allowance will apply if the following conditions are met:

• You bought a student privilege ticket
• Your e-ticket was issued by Singapore Airlines
• Singapore Airlines is the marketing airline of your itinerary. This is seen in the flight number prefixed by “SQ” (e.g. SQ 322 and SQ 2008)

For flights with their own flight code (without SQ in front of the number), free baggage allowance will be determined by the partner airline. Passengers may refer to their e-ticket to find their baggage allowance for each sector.

Student fares are only accessible via the Student Privileges page. Please ensure that you are searching for student fares through this page.

If you are still unable to find student fares from the Student Privileges page, it may be because there are no flights and/or seats available for the route(s) you have selected.

Student privileges are not accorded if a regular commerical ticket is purchased. Should you wish to make any changes to your purchased ticket, you may contact our customer service agent for assistance.

You will be able to manage your student booking via Manage Booking.
However, please note that you will not be able to make changes to your destination online. Please contact Singapore Airlines if you wish to do so.

The verification of Working Holiday/Work Holiday visa is currently not available online. If you possess a valid Working Holiday/Work Holiday visa, you may purchase your ticket via our SIA ticket offices or appointed agents.  We are working with our partner to enable online verification of these visas.

To enjoy your student privileges, multi-city itineraries cannot be booked online and can only be purchased by contacting Singapore Airlines.
