Points + pay help

[Ben170292]

Hi,

I have searched but couldn't find an answer.

I am trying to make my first reward booking for SIN-KUL on SQ, when I search it says 10,000 + $34 or 15300, I am wanting to pay the $34 but I get to the last stage of booking and have seen no choice, am I doing something wrong or for some reason am I only allowed to use points?

Thanks

Hey Ben0170292, you'll need to call them. I had a similar issue booking Abu Dhabi to Bangkok. It doesn't seem to work ex other countries.

Thanks Bam71, I rang and have booked it with points + pay, I was worried I would be charged a fee for booking on the phone but wasn't.

Hope you booked the new A350 flight! Wonder if you'd have used less points by converting it to Krisflyer miles and then making an award booking with a 15% online discount?

AIRwin, that's the reason I went with SQ, I was originally planning to go with one of the cheap airlines, so I hope the aircraft doesn't get changed.

Using my bad mathematics skills I don't think it saved anything or much if I transferred to Krisflyer so I just went through VA, But I wish I knew I couldn't choose a seat, looking at the seat map I don't think I can get a window.
