If I upgrade my fare type from Economy Lite to Economy Flexi, will I be refunded for the Standard Seat I paid for when I purchased the Economy Lite fare?

No, paid seat selections are not refundable.

I've selected my Standard Seat in advance; however, the aircraft has changed. Will I be allocated the same seat on the new aircraft?

Due to operational reasons, we may have to deploy other aircraft types in order to keep to the flight schedule. We will do our best to allocate you a similar seat.  If you have paid for the seat selection, we will refund you in case  we are not able to offer you the selected seat.

I've selected my Forward Zone Seat in advance; however, the aircraft has changed and I wasn't allocated the same seat. Can I get a refund of the paid seat selection fee?

Due to operational reasons, we may have to deploy other aircraft types in order to keep to the flight schedule. We will do our best to allocate you a similar seat in the same zone. If you have paid for the seat selection, we will refund you in case  we are not able to offer you the selected seat.

I've paid to select a seat in advance, but would like to select a seat in another zone instead. Can I top up the difference for this selection?

No, all seat selections made in advance are not transferable and the amount you paid for your previous selection will not be used to offset your new selection. You can, however, select a new seat in another zone at the full fee.

PPS Club and KrisFlyer members If my KrisFlyer membership status has changed, and I'm now eligible to select Standard and/or Forward Zone Seats for free, will I receive refunds for the seats I've purchased on flights I haven't yet flown?
