Singapore Flights

Singapore KrisFlyer Miles can be redeemed for award flights on Singapore Airlines, Star Alliance airlines, and several other partners.

If you're looking to fly specifically with Singapore Airlines (as in not through codeshares/partners), they fly to the following U.S. cities:

  • Houston
  • Los Angeles
  • New York (JFK)
  • New York (Newark)
  • San Francisco
  • Seattle

For standard economy flights, you'll easily be able to get an average value of around 1.4 cents per KrisFlyer Mile. You can improve on this value exponentially by booking First, Business, and Suite with Singapore Airlines and other airline partners which can give you 2 cents or more in value.

Here are a few of the flights you should look out for:

  • Fly Singapore Airlines First and Business Class: If you can't find award or waitlist space with Singapore Suites, you can still fly in utmost luxury and style in Singapore First Class and Business Class. You can book these flights through the six U.S. airports that Singapore flies to.
  • Fly From The U.S. To Europe On Singapore Airlines: You can fly New York (JFK) to Frankfurt (FRA) and Houston (IAH) to Manchester (MAN) on Singapore Airlines. This allows you to experience top-notch service that is significantly better than what you'll get flying U.S. carriers.
