Charged tax after modified booking?
I modified a booking that had no change fee and no fare difference, but when I made the change, I was charged again for taxes. I've been trying to reach someone at SQ to find out why I was charged again, but haven't been successful. Is it common to be charged again for taxes? I've requested a refund of the tax but haven't heard back. Am I missing something and is it possible this is a valid charge?

I'm not sure about your particular circumstances but different airports and countries have different taxes. I recall a redemption booking I made with TK for SYD/SIN/ARN had vastly different taxes to SYD/BKK/ARN.
My guess is your change resulted in additional taxes and they feel they should charge you for those.

Yeah I didmt think about the fuel. I eliminated Frankfurt as a stop and will be taking the nonstop JFK to SIN, so maybe that requires more fuel overall.
