Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer announced last week
that there will be some changes coming to the program on March 23rd.
KrisFlyer isn’t a huge program for us Canadians especially after they
stopped flying here many moons ago. However some of you may make use of
the program either by flying SQ outside of Canada, crediting Air Canada
& Star Alliance flights to SQ or transferring hotel points like
SPG’s Starpoints to KrisFlyer. So these changes will be of interest to
those of you who do use this program. The biggest and worst change is
the loss of th 15% discount for booking awards online, everybody loved
this option! Fuel and other surcharges for award flights on Singapore
Airlines are being nixed however most standard mileage amounts for award
tickets are going up to accomodate for this. Here is an example
provided by Singapore Airlines on pricing for the Singapore-San
Francisco route (note that the old amount does not include the 15% off
for online redemption.) In general, due to the loss of the 15% discount
the new award chart requirements are a devaluation to the KrisFlyer
program even with the removal of the fuel surcharges. Find out more about these changes here
