Singapore Airlines Award Rate Changes

Singapore Airlines is one of the best airlines in the world.  While I haven't had an opportunity to fly them, I'm looking forward to my first segment next spring!  

Following a similar trend from other airlines, Singapore announced changes to their mileage program today, mostly negative.  More information is here:

ADJUSTMENTS3 TO AWARD RATES FOR FLIGHT REDEMPTIONS AND UPGRADES

As part of our periodical review, we will be adjusting the miles redemption and upgrade award charts across Singapore Airlines, Star Alliance and partner airlines for flights ticketed on or after 1 November 2025 0000hrs (GMT+8).

Members will benefit from a reduction of 5% in Economy Saver award redemption rates for flights within Asia and South West Pacific (Zones 1 to 9).

Business and Suites/First Saver award redemption rates for Zones 1 to 9 will increase by 5%.

Saver award rates will increase by 5% across all cabin classes for flights to and from Europe and the United States of America (Zones 11 to 13). For flights to and from Africa, the Middle East, and Turkey (Zone 10), rates will rise by 10 to 20%.

Advantage award rates across all zones and cabin classes, except for Zone 10, will increase by 10 to 15%. For Zone 10, the Economy Advantage rates will increase by 5%, the Business Advantage rates by 18%, and Suites/First Advantage rates by 15%.

All redemption bookings confirmed and ticketed on or before 31 October 2025 2359hrs (GMT+8) will be based on current award rates.

These changes, as well as the recently introduced Scoot award flights, and enhanced redemption value for miles redeemed on Kris+, KrisShop and Pelago, reflect our commitment in providing you with more ways to earn and redeem miles, both in the air and on the ground. We endeavour to continue bringing greater value to your KrisFlyer membership through regular reviews of our programme offerings and benefits.

3All figures reflect the changes for one-way Singapore Airlines flight awards between Singapore and the corresponding regions, and are approximated.

A 5% increase is one thing, but 20% is outrageous.
