So i have been ticketed a J class on 9th before the devaluation on 23 March.
but my preference is to actually fly on the 8th (a day earlier), which I have already waitlisted myself on the same J class.
If the 8th becomes available, what are the costs involved?

Date changes within the validity of the ticket cost nothing. You'd be fine.
, before was only 71K + $43 USD only for F .

I had a waitlist LAX-ICN-SIN clear today for January. Call center said they could cancel my existing PE booking and redposit the miles immediately but said I had insufficient miles and the new cost was 88k miles. It was still showing 68k online and it was 9pm LA time on the 22nd. Agent told me to confirm the flight online and I did for the original 68k Miles.
Big sigh of relief. And big surprise to have a waitlist clear that early.

I had quite a few wait lists for later this summer, and they all cleared this morning. I was wondering what that was about when they all started coming through, but of course now that makes sense

I called in yesterday (SQ SIN call centre) to ask this question and was told that if the ticket does not have to be re-issued, then no extra miles will be taken for any tickets that had already been issued at the old mileage redemption levels. There may be some additional monetary fees if the Airport Taxes + Fees will have changed for the given route.

From the few agents I have spoken to about this, if you keep the class of travel and route the same, and only changing the date and/or flight number, there won't be a reissue triggering extra miles.

within ticket validity:
change date, change flight time, same route, same class - REVALIDATE
change class, change route - REISSUE
REVALIDATE - no fees
REISSUE - based on present rules, i. e. more miles , no 15% off and no YQ

this devaluation is definitely better for miles rich folks.
Another good thing I am seeing is that I see more availability in J and F now. Wonder if this will last.

Hello all
Now that the Krisflyer award redemption changes have occured, does anyone know how SQ will handle those wanting to make changes to tickets originally issued under the old lower award levels with the fuel surcharges. Date changes should be simple enough but route changes I suspect could be more complicated. I issued a ticket out of ZRH but am really hoping to fly out of CDG and am watilisted..
