I was under the impression that the rules require me to fly the first coupon (KUL-SIN) as ticketed and then subsequent dates can be changed free of charge; however, I am being told that since the ticket shows SIngapore as a transit, I will have to fly all the way to Tokyo before any date changes can be made. Is this correct?
Who is telling you this?
I think the answer is that you can change the Singapore transit to a stopover (remember only 2 allowed in the continent of origin) however it will likely require a re-pricing since there will be probably be an increase in taxes and fees imposed by the Singapore authorities.
I see no reason to believe you'd have to wait until Japan to make any date changes. Ask the person saying so for a citation from the rules. If you don't have a copy of the rules yourself, now's a fine time to get them.
