I thought about a redemption booking the one way that was available (DRW>SIN) but the taxes themselves added up to about $242 AUS. In fact, now I think about it, I don't really understand how that works. The price of the ticket on Jetstar one way is only $258 which is just $16 more than the taxes. Those Jetstar prices do include taxes, right?
I got $286 SGD in all in ($228) with 20kg of checked baggage ($28) and the Starter Plus option ($30). Then if you want you need to pay for insurance and credit card fee.
Is the price you are quoating the return because I am only doing SIN - DRW sector not the return.
