Overview

  • Award and upgrade charts change on Nov. 1 with most mileage rates rising about 5% to 20% depending on route and cabin.
  • Saver redemptions to Europe and the United States increase 5% across cabins, while Africa, the Middle East and Turkey see 10% to 20% hikes.

  • 'Access' launches Nov. 1 to let members use miles for confirmed seats on preferred flights with miles varying by demand and timing, separate from existing award inventory.
  • From Sept. 1, spending on Kris+, KrisShop and Pelago earns status credits (1 PPS Value per S$3 or 1 Elite mile per S$1) that count toward PPS/KrisFlyer status and rewards; bookings ticketed before Nov. 1 keep current award rates, with SIA materials citing 0000 GMT+8 on Nov. 1 as the cutoff.
