Points needed to book available award flight when flight I really want is waitlisted

[Demonoid]

Hi guys

Apologies in advance if this has already been answered somewhere, I have had a quick look and could not find anything.

If i want to book a waitlisted flight, Singapore gives you the option to "also choose a second option (must not be a waitlisted flight)".

I know to cancel that available flight later if the waitlist clears will only cost 20 or 30 US dollars. That part is fine.

Question is, in order to book (and pay) for that available flight, do I need to have enough points for BOTH waitlisted and available flights?

Thanks in anticipation

You just need enough points for one, but make sure you waitlist first.
