The KrisFlyer award chart is the fixed, zone-based pricing KrisFlyer publishes for Singapore Airlines’ own flights. KrisFlyer repriced on 1 November 2025, lifting rates by as much as 20 per cent. It is the chart Australians use when transferring Velocity or Membership Rewards points to KrisFlyer. A return Business Class Saver between Perth and Singapore costs 85,000 miles. A one-way Business Class Saver from the East Coast costs 72,000 miles. Economy awards start from 20,500 miles each way. Singapore Airlines’ own chart prices its flights below what partner programs charge for the same seats. Here is how the chart prices awards and what 100,000 miles book from Australia. We also cover how the miles arrive and the traps that shrink a balance.
How KrisFlyer prices Singapore Airlines awards in 2026
Saver awards cost the fewest miles and have the fewest seats per flight. Advantage awards cost more miles and offer wider availability. A round trip also includes two complimentary stopovers. A dynamic Access rate introduced alongside the repricing. It confirms that demand for seats drive prices, with no published chart. A round trip costs double the one-way figure. A round trip Saver includes one complimentary stopover of up to 30 days. Taxes and charges are payable separately in cash.
Star Alliance partner flights are priced using their own separate chart on a round-trip basis. The figures in this article come from Singapore Airlines charts and apply to its own aircraft, including its long-haul cabins.
What 100,000 KrisFlyer miles book from Australia
The standout use of the balance is a return trip from Perth. Perth to Singapore costs 42,500 miles one-way in Business Class at Saver rates. The 85,000-mile return leaves 15,000 miles to spare and includes the round-trip Saver stopover allowance. From the East Coast, Sydney and Melbourne one-way Business Class flights cost 72,000 miles. This turns 100,000 miles into one flat bed leg plus an Economy Saver leg home with change. Economy awards start from 20,500 miles each way from Perth and about 29,000 from the East Coast.
The guide to the best ways to use 100,000 KrisFlyer miles breaks down the same balance redemption by redemption. Promotions can also reduce the miles required for selected rewards. Singapore Airlines periodically discounts selected Saver awards by around 30 per cent through its Spontaneous Escapes offers. Flexible travellers can use these offers to stretch their miles further. For travellers continuing past Singapore, the program prices whole journeys by zone pair. A Perth to Europe itinerary through Singapore books as a single Business Class Saver award from 131,500 miles. That is beyond this balance but it is a natural next target. The Perth Business Class return uses exactly 100,000 miles. A flat-bed return to Asia is rare under the charts in force as of September 2026. This route fits within the balance with miles to spare. The East Coast one-way suits travellers pairing one premium leg with a cash or partner booking home.
How Australians earn KrisFlyer miles
Australians can earn KrisFlyer miles mostly by converting points from other programs, rather than direct earning. Velocity Points transfer at 1.55 Velocity Points per KrisFlyer mile, with a 5,000 point minimum. A 100,000 mile balance therefore costs 155,000 Velocity Points. Membership Rewards points transfers at 3:1, pricing the same balance at 300,000 bank points. Both paths are mapped in the guides to transferring points into Velocity and transferring Membership Rewards to airlines. The round-ups of the top Velocity Points-earning credit cards and Qantas Points-earning credit cards compare cards for households earning both currencies.
- Warning: converting into KrisFlyer is a multi-step calculation. The transfer ratio determines the cost
- Price the target seat on the KrisFlyer chart first, then multiply by 1.55 to find the Velocity cost. A 72,000-mile East Coast Business Class seat costs 111,600 Velocity Points after conversion
- Compare that with Velocity’s own chart for the same aircraft, where the seat costs 74,000 Velocity Points directly
- Convert only when KrisFlyer offers something Velocity’s chart does not. Examples include Perth return pricing, the stopover allowance, or cabins and dates unavailable through Velocity’s inventory
The traps that shrink a KrisFlyer balance
The most important consideration is KrisFlyer’s mileage expiry. KrisFlyer miles have a 3 year expiry from the date they arrive. Account activity does not reset the expiry. Miles converted speculatively can expire before you find a suitable seat. Expiring miles can be extended for 1,200 miles or US$12 per 10,000 miles. This provides 6 months for KrisFlyer members and 12 for Elite Silver and Gold members. PPS Club members’ miles do not expire. The 1 November 2025 repricing is another consideration, with rates increasing across the chart. A balance based on last year’s prices may no longer cover the same award. The third consideration is the award type. Advantage and Access rates can provide seats that Saver does not show. They can also consume far more of your mileage balance. Bookings made in a hurry can mean using more miles than necessary.
The solution follows from the transfer maths above. Keep your points in flexible currencies until you are ready to book. Check Saver availability before transferring points. Convert only when the required seat is available. Use the December 2025 rewards points valuations update to assess whether the booking offers good value for your miles.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, 3 years after they are credited. The clock is fixed rather than activity-based, though you can extend expiring miles for a fee of 1,200 miles or US$12 per 10,000 miles. That clock is the main reason to leave points in Velocity or a bank program until you’re ready to make a specific Singapore Airlines booking.
Saver awards carry the lowest chart prices with the fewest seats released per flight, while Advantage awards cost substantially more miles for wider availability and include two complimentary stopovers on a round trip. The value lives at Saver level, and flexibility on dates is what releases it. Advantage space appearing where Saver shows nothing is the program working as designed rather than a website error, and the price gap is the cost of certainty.
Yes, and a child aged 2 to 11 needs the same number of miles as an adult for Saver, Advantage and Access bookings. An infant under 2 cannot travel on a redeemed ticket at all, with the infant fare purchased in cash instead.
First Class and Suites are priced in their own rows of the same chart, above the Business Class figures quoted here. Check the current chart for your route before planning around them. The premium rows moved the most in the 1 November 2025 repricing, and the same Saver availability discipline applies, with fewer seats again.
