3. How do I compute a partial refund?
For partial refund calculation under current situation, please refund the un-used ticket coupons base on the calculation example below:
Below example applies to ticket with same booking class only.

  • Refund the un-used portion base on Ticketed Point Mileage (TPM) proportion.
    e.g. SIN-HKG-NRT-HKG-SIN at SGD 3146 (Published fares equal gross fares/ Market fares equal net fares)
  • TPM on SIN-HKG = 1594 (system entry: FQMSINHKG)
  • TPM on HKG-NRT =1823 (system entry: FQMHKGNRT)
  • TPM on NRT-HKG =1823 (system entry: FQMNRTHKG)
  • TPM on HKG-SIN = 1594 (system entry: FQMHKGSIN) Total TPM = 6834

Un-used ticket coupons = HKG-NRT-HKG Refund = SGD 3146 x (3646/6834) = SGD 1678 (Un-used tax and surcharges can be refunded)
