Singapore KrisFlyer Global Redemption sale: 25% off premium economy from North America — but is it worth it?

09.09.2024 - 21:21 / thepointsguy.com / John F.Kennedy

Singapore Airlines' Global Redemption sale is back, letting members book award flights for 25% fewer KrisFlyer miles. While transatlantic North American routes are limited to just premium economy flights at select airports, if you're already looking to book your next 2025 vacation — or find yourself in Asia, Africa, the Southwest Pacific area or Europe and want to add an extra leg to your trip — this deal could pique your interest.

Plus, you don't have to earn Singapore KrisFlyer miles to take advantage of this sale; you can transfer them from several popular credit card rewards currencies.

Here are all the details.

As mentioned, if you want to fly from the U.S. to Singapore, there are only premium economy seats available with this promotion. Per the deal, you can fly from Singapore to San Francisco (or vice versa) for 56,250 KrisFlyer miles. Note that there are blackout dates for these routes. You can also snag premium economy tickets from Singapore to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) for 60,375 miles or from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Singapore for 60,375 miles. These routes do not have any blackout dates.

To note, the number of KrisFlyer miles required is one-way per person, and availability is based on a first-come, first-served basis.

In addition to traveling from North America, you can check out Singapore KrisFlyer's promotional details page to get the full list of available routes. These include 25% off select Saver award tickets in economy and business class on flights from Europe, Asia, Africa and the Southwest Pacific area.

A few important details to note:

You'll need to act fast to use this deal. The booking window ends Sept. 22, but the travel window gives you several months to fly in early 2025.

Since there are not many options from North American airports, this deal may not be particularly beneficial to you. Plus, if you want to travel to Singapore, you can find business-class availability through Star Alliance partner Air Canada Aeroplan and book your flight for as low as 60,000 Aeroplan points each way, which is cheaper than booking a premium economy ticket from EWR to Singapore.

Plus, Singapore Airlines offers regular award redemption deals called Spontaneous Escapes, but these typically provide a shorter travel window in the near future (hence the "spontaneous" part). For instance, in August you could get 30% off Saver award tickets, but you had to fly in the month of September.

If your itinerary is flexible, this could provide you with a better deal, as you could've opted to fly Singapore Airlines business
