Singapore Airlines
Star AllianceSingapore Airlines is a full-service, premium international carrier with a reputation among travelers for high service standards and a wide long-haul network.

KrisFlyer - Singapore Airlines' Frequent Flyer Program
KrisFlyer is Singapore Airlines’ frequent flyer program; members earn miles on flights based on the airline and fare class and can redeem those miles for award travel and upgrades on Singapore Airlines and Star Alliance partners. The program includes elite recognition levels (KrisFlyer Elite Silver and KrisFlyer Elite Gold) and a separate elite club tier for premium customers. Because KrisFlyer integrates with Star Alliance partners such as United, Lufthansa and ANA, it is generally considered worthwhile to credit Singapore Airlines flights to the program if you plan to fly the carrier or its alliance partners regularly.

Tips for Flying Singapore Airlines
- Check the fare conditions carefully before booking because baggage allowance and free seat selection vary by fare class and route.
- Credit flights to KrisFlyer (or a Star Alliance partner) if you plan to use miles for long-haul redemptions, and book award seats well in advance for peak routes.
- If you have lounge access through class of travel or elite status, allow extra time at Singapore Changi (SIN) where connections and lounges are broadly well organised.
- On long-haul flights expect lie-flat business seats on most widebodies and premium economy on many services, but confirm the specific aircraft when reserving if seat type matters.
