How KrisFlyer works after its November 2025 changes, and where the miles go furthest. - Author: Points Atelier - Tags: Flights Singapore Airlines keeps its best seats for its own members. Premium cabins are rarely released to partner programs, which makes KrisFlyer, Singapore’s own program, the practical way to book them with points. Its chart is published, the November 2025 increases were modest, and American Express, Chase, Capital One and Citi all transfer to it. ![Singapore Airlines logo](https://storage.ghost.io/c/0a/18/0a187d27-b797-402a-a3b7-2d48bced424d/content/images/2026/10/pa-logo-singapore-color.svg) Singapore Airlines · Star Alliance At a glance Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Singapore Airlines’ Suites, first and business class on a published chart, including two fifth-freedom routes from the U.S. Typical value per mile 1.3¢ Saver and Advantage prices published Chart Miles for Suites or first, West Coast to Singapore 154,000 Amex, Chase, Capital One, Citi 4 banks [How the chart works](#how-the-chart-works)[Where KrisFlyer miles go furthest](#where-krisflyer-miles-go-furthest)[Star Alliance partners](#star-alliance-partners)[How to earn KrisFlyer miles](#how-to-earn-krisflyer-miles) ## How the chart works Singapore Airlines publishes one-way prices by zone, in two levels: **Saver** (limited seats, lower prices) and **Advantage** (more seats, higher prices). Since November 1, 2025 there is also **Access**, a dynamic price for any remaining seat, with no published figures, according to Singapore Airlines. Saver prices from Singapore Airlines’ chart, one-way: | Saver, one-way | Economy | Premium economy | Business | Suites or first | | -------------------------------- | ------- | --------------- | -------- | --------------- | | Singapore to the U.S. West Coast | 44,000 | 79,000 | 112,500 | 154,000 | | Singapore to the U.S. East Coast | 46,000 | 84,500 | 117,000 | 156,000 | | Frankfurt to New York (nonstop) | 27,500 | 57,000 | 89,000 | 106,500 | | Tokyo to Los Angeles (nonstop) | 42,500 | 80,500 | 114,000 | 132,500 | | Singapore to Japan or Korea | 25,500 | 39,500 | 54,500 | 81,000 | Taxes on Singapore Airlines awards start from US$24, according to the chart. Advantage prices are much higher: 148,000 in business from Singapore to the West Coast, for example. What changed on November 1, 2025 Saver prices to and from Europe and the U.S. rose about 5%, and Advantage prices 10–15%, according to Singapore Airlines; Star Alliance partner charts were adjusted at the same time. Economy Saver within Asia fell about 5%. ## Where KrisFlyer miles go furthest U.S. to Singapore ### Suites or first to Singapore 154,000miles one-way from the West Coast · 156,000 from the East Singapore Airlines’ top cabin, on a Saver seat.

Where it shines - The practical way to book Singapore Airlines’ premium cabins - A published chart, with modest 2025 increases - Four U.S. banks transfer in - Two fifth-freedom routes touching the U.S. Where it falls short - Saver premium seats are scarce - Business to Singapore costs well over 100,000 miles - Miles expire after three years regardless of activity - Partner awards usually cheaper elsewhere The Atelier Take KrisFlyer is a specialist’s program: hard to beat for Singapore Airlines’ own premium cabins, rarely the best choice for anything else.
