reward flight question
I never use Skywards points for rewards but I need to go to SIN again this month and fancy using some of mine for a round trip.
Can you amend the reward if a class becomes available?
For example I can get First out but only business flex back where the points difference to F is minimal. If availabilty is there at check in is it possible to upgrade this ticket for the small difference in points rather than rinsing me of another 39k to go from J to F?
Also can you pay one leg in cash and one leg as a reward?

you can just buy a one way with cash and a one way with miles (or do I miss something?)

The business flex plus reward says no charge to change and 39k points to upgrade - surely that means I can cancel the ticket and reissue it as an first one if space is available?

Pretty sure they'd let you cancel and re-issue in a higher cabin regardless of what type of reward it is. They waive change fee for cash tickets after all. And when one has a two-leg trip and upgrades only the first leg and later can upgrade the 2nd as well they allow you to cancel and reissue as a new single upgrade instead of paying the full price for two individual upgrades.
