If you notice within 24 hours that your receipt does not display the correct currency, cancel and rebook.
Very good point, thank you for sharing that with all.
Yes, this is indeed the case. When I had to change the SGD charged ticket, it was indeed rather time consuming and needed a few levels of escalation. I had almost forgot about that (then again, at least for "always-bad-luck-with-DL" me, even many routine ticket reissues seem to take forever with DL, so I guess it didn't stand out that much - if not that, there seems to be almost always some other issue that needs multiple levels of escalation and a whole horde of a agents working on even the most simple and straightforward of every day tasks).
