An airline that does consider their customers.
Like many others around the world with travel arrangements cancelled and now trying to go thru the refund process SINGAPORE AIR in my opinion top the list for good and fair customer support. I have 3 carriers involved and have found that they are not very transparent when trying to get your refund or credit even when the airline has cancelled the flight. They just want you to go away or pay high cancellation charges not so with SINGAPORE AIR their policy is very clear and yes helps the loyal customer. So good to see as it is hell going thru the airlines, hoteliers and worst of all HOTEL .COM just get the same reply if you are lucky to even get a reply.so sq get my vote excellent.

Thankyou for a Pain free resolution
While it has taken more then a month to have confirmation of my COVID19 Assistance entitlements and to receive any written confirmation of original actions taken to put our flights on hold at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic escalation on the 9th March.
Once you get through on the very busy phone lines, Singapore Airlines are being extremely fair and reasonable. I received a really clear description of my options ( Refund or Flight credits) and the representative was more then happy to stay on the line to work on my booking in the backg...Read more
round and validate that a full refund of our flights ( Family of 4 / PE class /Cairns-Singapore-LA/ RTN) had been actioned and ensured i received email confirmation of the request being received. Thankyou ! - We really really hope to re-book our dream family trip ion safer times and SA will be our preferred carrier again !

Helped on providing accurate information even though the booking was made from an external agency
Due to the COVID-19 issue, my flight dated April 16, 2020, got cancelled. My travel agency (from where I did the booking ) didn't inform me about the cancellation. But to my surprise, I got a regular email about my flight update, cancellation from Singapore Airlines. Once, I found my flight was cancelled, I tried again to contact my travel agency about the options of either refund or flight credit but they were not reachable by phone and were not replying to my mail. So, I had to contact Singapore airlines and within a few days, they replied m...Read more
e back about the options of refund and flight credit. They even contacted me via phone on my eligibility of full refund. In this crisis, though Singapore airlines were occupied by their own bookings, they were kind enough to assist me. Next time, won't book from the agency but will directly book from the airlines. Though my ticket was NON REFUNDABLE, due to current crisis Singapore Airlines made changes to allow people like me to get a full refund. Thank you.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Selfish singapore airlines shows there true colours.
I booked my flights to Australia > Thailand return for July 2020, part of the ticket was with Jetstar and the return leg was with Singapore airlines and Virgin. Surprisingly when Covid 19 came along Jetstar and Virgin offered travel credits straight away for customers who could not travel due to the ban on travelling overseas from Australia. To my utmost surprise, Singapore Airlines has shown 0 flexibility or compassion for their customers and still does not offer a refund / credit or even a free rebooking of my flight. This really reflects h...Read more
ow selfish a so called "tier 1" airline can be, and how compassionate a "economy" airline such as Jetstar can be. So lessons learned, is that I will never-ever travel again with this selfish airline or I would never recommend it. No doubt Singapore airlines will survive the covid 19 crisis - but when people were in need, we will remember that Singapore airlines was not there for them.Similar opinion?

Terrible company
This company have proven to be selfish during the time of Covid-19. The world is suffering and they don’t care about the little people. We were supposed to fly with them but when WHO increased the level of virus caution in Japan we needed to cancel due to a heart condition. My flight was flexible however I was charged an outrageous cancelation fee. Why would I want to use this airline again if they can’t help people during a pandemic?! They also took weeks to respond to emails and I was waiting two hours on the phone to talk to someone. Shame on you Singapore airlines!

Best customer service I have experienced
Singapore Airlines have by far been the best company I have had to deal with during the current worldwide situation. My Mum was booked to travel from Melbourne to London on the 15th April flying Singapore airlines. I called and was put through to a customer service operator within 15 minutes and the lovely lady was able to speak with her manager and approve a refund for my elderly mum. This is such a relief to her and when she hopefully organises new flights next year, she will definitely be booking with Singapore Airlines.
Thanks again :)

Hopeless in this Disaster
Singapore Airlines are supposed to be the number one airline in the world? Certainly not currently. Surely you have had time to get your act together by now. Impossible to contact by phone, email and social media. How can it be taking weeks to contact customers who have paid lots of money to fly with you. Terrible service. Not wanting to refund flights that you have cancelled is not fair. Only offering change of dates but insisting on using the credits in less than 12 months even!! I truly was not expecting Singapore Airlines to be so hopeless.

Cold, Hard & Desperate Airline. Very sad.
I have downgraded SIA from a 4 star to 1 star.
After I ordered my FIVE tickets covering my family and I with SIA, the Singapore Government stopped all foreigners from transiting through the Singapore Airport.
So, my FIVE tickets are USELESS. I ordered an extra 3 tickets so we could get home a bit quicker but not quick enough. We were prepared to sit in the transit area for THREE DAYS with our 3 year old toddler to get home, much to our disgust.
When I read that the SINGAPORE TRANSIT AREA was to be closed I then sent an email direct to SIA aski...Read more

Highly cooperative staff
I booked my return ticket on Skyscanner from Melbourne to Delhi. My return date was 25th of march 2020. On 17th I got a mail from the airline that Singapore to Melbourne flight is cancelled and to reschedule please contact your agent. I contacted my agent and informed them about this situation. They were not aware about this cancellation. I asked to reschedule my flight for 20th March. I noted my request and told me that they will inform the airline about this and will let me know Asap.
I did not receive any reply from them till 19th March and...Read more

Cancelled flight from munich no correspondence
Due to coronavirus my flight from rome was cancelled received email about that grom them.. Due to fly from Munich now on 19 March 2020 Sydney via Singapore that flight suspended until end of April 2020 and I have not neen advised.. just found some small print on their website that I could not transit via Singapore. Oh and a travel agent has advised I may receive a refund for half the flight but ot could take months.. I paid another $170 aud to re book from Munich and I have found another $38 aud charge from Singapore airlines on top who knows what that is? I ended up paying another $1690 aud to fly home with Emirates which was a nice airline which is good to know..because I will never fly with Singapore airlines again.

Do not book with this awful company
DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS DISHONEST CHEATING AND LYING COMPANY. Their price match guarantee is absolutely rigged with changing rules they make up as they go. I spent 2 weeks providing evidence of the exact same but cheaper fare on a competitor's website and they still came up with dishonest terms and conditions that conflicted with their own instructions. For example, their website says no need to book with the other provider but then they rejected my claim and evidence because it did not break down the fare by individual provider - I can not ge...Read more
t a break down unless I purchase the fare (which they tell you not to do!!!). Another example...as we're travelling with children, Singapore Air gave us free seat allocation automatically but only on the return flight (unsure why?!) even though I nominated an 'economy' fare. I provided evidence of this same economy fare from a competitor to them but again they rejected because its not the same class of travel even though they're the ones that upgraded us!!!! Bottom line is that the fares are exactly the same except the other provider is much cheaper yet Singapore don't want to admit this basic fact and play games and cheat you into booking with them. I have since reported them to Australian consumer affairs who are looking into their seemingly fraudulent price match "guarantee".Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Disappointing Customer Service
We were planning a holiday to Paris in Oct 2020 and booked the flights months ago.
Now that COVID 19 is an issue and travel insurance wont cover us if we get sick while we are away, we decided to ask if the flight can be moved to 2021 to give this time to blow over and Singapore Airlines would not help. We have flown a few times with Singapore and always liked them but I find it a bit disappointing when you cant travel due to circumstances beyond our control and no one wants to give any assistance. Looks like that is $2500 we will never see again.

Never Again
Our cruise was cancelled due to the corona virus. The cruise company gave us a full refund and almost 50% off our next cruise which we have booked. After endless emails and holding on the phone for well over 40 minutes with Singapore Airline's I was told that they can suspend our flights but we need to rebook by June and pay an extra re-booking fee of $480 each. We paid a total of $1288 for the fares. Now i can understand this if we had just decided to change our plans for no other reason but the cruise being cancelled was totally out of our ha...Read more
nds. In a situation like this you would think that they could waiver the rebooking fee as a gesture of good customer service and support but not the case at all. We are flying to Singapore in October for our cruise but will not ever fly with this airline again.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Can't fault them
Singapore airlines staff are wonderful and the flights as well. Customer service is always amazing and not to mention how great the airport is. For all the times I have booked for my parents and myself, I haven't had any issues. They have been compassionate with refunds/credit for flights for us due to coronavirus issue which I am so thankful for as my parents are elderly and I have 2 young children. Will continue to fly with SIA, highly recommend!

No refund due to Coronavirus
Tried to cancel redemption flight 3 weeks out due to Coronavirus . Singapore airlines refused to refund points and/or taxes. Absolutely appalling way to treat your kris flyer members. Will never fly with them again.

Terrible Service - call center customer service
I have been trying to convert my Singapore airline miles to Velocity Frequent Flyer points . It usually takes 2 minutes online.
So far it has taken me 3 days without any success. I have called them a dozen times over the last 3 days . All they say that it has been escalated. They do not take any initiative to solve problems instead try to transfer your problem from one department to another

Poor service i got on silk air.
I travelled on silk air flight on arrival on Australia i noticed that two of my expensive baggages were damaged. One baggage got couple of big holes and other one missing the handle. I complainted this matter to airline staff. They said they can not do anything and they will send a request and do see what they can do. I had a connection flight from there next day so i bought two new baggages so i can move all my luggages. Later on i received an email they can not do anything and its a normal wear and tear. So i need to think again when i next fly with singapore airlines. Thank you

NOT FAIR - Terms for flight cancellation due to coronavirus
Despite the threat of the coronavirus infection spreading in Singapore, SIA refused to give full refund for cancellation for my reservation (Economy LITE - flight is in a few days time).
Not really fair!!!
However, as a concession, they allowed reservation to be cancelled and kept ticket opened. Must rebook within 12 months from date of initial booking and fly within 3 months from expiry date of open ticket. No rebooking fees.
This epidemic is very different from SARS - the infected don't show symptoms for days! Praying for this epidemic to be over in a year's time would be asking alot, I think!!
Hope someone can get them to allow cancellation with full refund.
