Credit card service fee
When you use a credit card to pay for your flights out of certain countries, Singapore Airlines incurs costs relating to the acceptance of credit cards. You won’t be charged a service fee if you choose to pay with debit cards or other non-credit card alternatives.
A service fee may be added to bookings paid with a credit card for flights out of certain countries. The service fee will not be applied to additional fares or fees collected when you make changes to your booking. The service fee will also not apply to redemption bookings and bookings paid with a European Economic Area issued personal credit card.
For tickets purchased through a mix of KrisFlyer miles and cash, the service fee will only be applied to the portion paid for by a credit card.
For such purchases, the remaining cash portion must be paid for by a debit / credit card. If you choose to pay with a credit card, you will be charged a service fee. If you choose to pay with a debit card or a European Economic Area issued personal credit card, you won’t be charged a service fee.
When purchasing tickets online through singaporeair.com or through your local SIA office or travel agent, the fee will apply for routes departing from Australia, Belgium, Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
