The Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer loyalty program is celebrating a raft of new flights to Australia with a stellar promotion – 25% off reward seats on selected flights throughout 2024, as well as 25% more KrisFlyer miles on cash fares during selected travel periods. Best of all, the 25% discount also applies to Business Class award seats.
From 31 March 2024, Cairns will also receive the Airbus A350-900 Medium Haul jet, representing a significant upgrade from the current Boeing 737 service.
KrisFlyer ‘New Flights, New Opportunities’ sale
Expiry: Book by 6 March 2024, travel periods vary |
25% Redemption Discount
Until 6 March 2024, you can snag discounted award seats on selected new Singapore Airlines flights from Melbourne, Perth and Cairns. This includes Economy, Premium Economy and Business, though not all routes offer the discount in all cabins. Note that the routes are a mix of outbound and inbound flights.
Flight | Travel Period | Economy Class | Premium Economy Class | Business Class | Blackout Period |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
From Melbourne to Singapore (SQ 248) | 27 May 2024 – 19 June 2024 | 22,875 KrisFlyer miles | 38,250 KrisFlyer miles | 51,375 KrisFlyer miles | N/A |
From Perth to Singapore (SQ 226) | 31 March 2024 – 30 April 2024 | 16,125 KrisFlyer miles | N/A | N/A | 1 April 2024 – 13 April 2024 |
From Singapore to Perth (SQ 213) | 31 March 2024 – 30 April 2024 | 16,125 KrisFlyer miles | N/A | 30,375 KrisFlyer miles | 6 April 2024 – 27 April 2024 |
Note that there needs to be Promo availability to see the discounted price. Not all flights within the offer period will have Promo fares available. But if they do, then you’ve secured a great deal!
25% more KrisFlyer miles on new bookings
Receive 25% more KrisFlyer miles when making a booking to Singapore and including your KrisFlyer number on selected flights. Book by 6 March 2024 and travel between these periods:
- To/from Melbourne on SQ248 or SQ247 between 27 May 2024 – 27 July 2024.
- To/from Perth on SQ226 or SQ213 between 31 March 2024 – 31 May 2024.
What about booking with Velocity Points?
Have Velocity Points? Even under this redemption sale, it might not be cheaper to transfer Velocity Points to KrisFlyer (1.55 to 1) and book the Promo fare.
For example, the Melbourne to Singapore example above requires 79,632 Velocity Points to transfer to 51,375 KrisFlyer miles. But if you booked via the Virgin Australia website, you would only need 65,000 Velocity Points for the same seat but pay several hundred dollars more in fees.
Transfers from Velocity to KrisFlyer are usually instant, but we suggest you double-check availability on the Singapore Airlines website before taking advantage of this promotion.
Important: Economy Promo reward seats cannot be changed or cancelled. You will forfeit your KrisFlyer miles if you don’t make the flight.

I emailed Heathrow rewards and they said all accounts using enrollment code SQ2019 would be suspended as they had “seen a recent surge in points transfers from accounts using Sq2019”.
They’ll only activate my account if I provide proof of purchases at Heathrow to prove that I am a legitimate customers.
Was worth a try I guess.
Badly researched article, but I guess I should have checked T+Cs
Anyway its not called point Hacks for nothing not everything works all the time.
Happy Hacking.

Thoughts?
Not sure why. I clicked on the Points Balance ‘More Details’ and it says “Please note – some point types may not be redeemed for certain rewards.”
I wonder if sign up bonus points are ineligible for transfer to travel partners.
Is there a current signup bonus points offer for Krisflyer membership? It’s 14 Feb 2019, so I think the KFLY one has expired. Hoping to sign up my family of 4.
Cheers,
Melanie
The KFLY promotion ends on 15 February 2019, 2359hrs (GMT+8).
