  • PPS value calculation: online booking with SQ vs expedia/travel agent booking

    I usually buy online directly from SQ.

    For September, I purchased a ticket online that cost me SGD 3,600 approximately and I get a PPS value of about SGD 3,500 which is the entire ticket cost including fare + fuel surcharge - airport taxes which I think it should be how PPS value is calculated.

    For October, because of Expedia's super juicy 6x miles/$ promo with Citibank, I purchased another ticket that cost me SGD 3,700 but I am getting a PPS value of only SGD 3,268 which seems to be the fare without the fuel surcharge.

    I just want to check if anyone has noticed any difference in PPS value between booking directly with SQ and through a travel agent.

    I have sent an email to SQ, waiting for their feedback / explanation.

    The way PPS Value is calculated has always been one of life's mysteries.

    A good thread to check out is this one:

    Yes, I know it's RTW Values, but it gives you an idea of how varied the calculations can get.
