1. How do I contact Via?

Via's Customer care is open 365 days between 9am to 9pm . If you require any assistance with the Bookings, Cancellations and amendments you can email to sg.support@via.com. Our Customer Service Executive will be happy to assist you.

2. How do I know my reservation is confirmed?

You will receive a VIA Booking Confirmation email when your booking is confirmed.

If you do not receive an email you can view the status of your booking by logging on to our website and entering the VIA Reference number by clicking on "Check Booking Status”.

If you have not received a confirmation email and cannot find a successful transaction, please contact our Customer Service Centre via email at sg.support@via.com

3. Do I need to confirm my flight reservation?

There is no need to confirm your reservation. If you need any information, you can login to our website or call our customer service team at the call center number mentioned above.

4. Why have I received two confirmation emails?

If your booking is on Jet star, Tiger Airways, Air Asia or Scoot the Airline, we will email you a separate confirmation email which will also be your E-Ticket. This means you will have two confirmation emails, one from VIA and one from the Airline.

Note: The airline booking reference is different from your VIA booking reference number. When checking your flight online on the airline website, use the airline confirmation number (PNR)

5. What is the maximum number of seats I can book?

A maximum of 9 seats can be booked at one time. If you need to book for more than 9 passengers please send an email to sg.support@via.com as it will be treated as group.

6. How do I book online with a single name?

VIA website mandates both the first (given name) and last name (surname) during the booking process. You can do so by repeating the name on both the first and last name fields and follow- up with a call to our service team immediately after booking online.

Mail us at sg.support@via.com to amend the name on the flight booking to reflect the correct single name as per your passport details. However please do note that to process such name changes there may be respective airline fees involved.

7. What is my luggage allowance and how do I pay for extra?

Cabin and checked-in baggage limit varies from airline to airline. Some airlines have baggage weight restrictions and others have a specific number of pieces permitted. Please note that restrictions on baggage apply to both checked–in bags as well as cabin baggage

For excess luggage charges, please contact your airline before you travel as this can vary greatly between carriers but is almost always cheaper if arranged in advance with the airline.

Travel within Asia:

Some fares only allow hand luggage. If you are planning to take luggage that will not fit in the overhead cabin you need a ticket that allows checked baggage. Extra baggage can be paid for at the airport but it is usually cheaper to pay at the time of booking. To check what luggage allowance you have purchased please refer to your airline confirmation email if travelling on Jet star, Scoot, Tiger Airways and Air Asia or anyother budget airline.

During the booking process, you will be able to select a flight that includes a checked baggage allowance as well as carry on luggage or includes only carry on luggage.

If you wish to select a fare that includes checked baggage please select the drop down in the booking page which says Please select Baggage option

If you have completed your booking and selected "Carry On" bags only and you now wish to purchase the checked baggage allowance, you will need to call the airline direct to make the changes.

Any questions about bulky items, sports equipment (bikes, golf clubs, surfboards etc), or any dangerous items, (chemicals etc) will need to be taken up with the airline you are travelling with directly.

8. I’m taking a connecting flight. Will I need to change terminals?

In most cases, you will need to change terminals in order to board your connecting flight. Often the terminals are at quite some distance from each other and you’ll need to set aside some extra time to walk from one to another.

Do make it a point to enquire about your terminal as soon as you arrive, since gate numbers and terminals can change at the last moment.

The cancellation charges depend on many factors, such as:

Airline: Often, different airlines have different cancellation charges and policies.
Sector: Some sectors have higher cancellation charges than others.
Fare Structure: Some fares attract higher cancellation charges than others.

Time of cancellation: Usually, the closer it is to the departure date, the higher the cancellation charges.

To understand the charges applicable to your reservation, check the fare rules mentioned on the booking page or you can also check by calling our hotline support number. Apart from the cancellation charges levied by the airline, VIA charges a cancellation / Rebooking fee of SGD20 per passenger.

You can cancel your flight no later than 48 hours before the time of departure. If it’s later than 48 hours, you need to contact the airline directly for cancellation

16. How will I get my money back after a cancellation?

VIA will credit the money back to the account you used when making the booking. For example, if you used your credit card, we will make an appropriate charge reversal. If you used net banking, we will credit the money back to your account. Please remember that the applicable Airline/Hotel and Via cancellation charges will be deducted from the refund amount, before the refund is made.
