Singapore Airlines is known for providing excellent products, but booking the Premium Cabin Awards for long-distance airlines can be tricky. You can sometimes find reward availability through the Alaska Airlines Mileage Program or Air Canada Aeroplan, but usually you will find the most rewards through Singapore Airlines’ own Krisflyer loyalty program.
Krisflyer usually costs more than other programs, even on dates with temperate rewards. However, the program offers discounts monthly through its Krisflyer spontaneous evasion promotion.
To celebrate Singapore’s 60th birthday, Krisflyer offered a 40% discount on bookings in the first 60 hours of the promotion until 11:59 PM Singapore local time (11:59 ET).
For bookings after 60 hours, if you keep before August 31 and travel between September 1 and 30, the new promotion will offer a standard 30% discount. You will find discount reward tickets in Singapore Airlines Network.
This is how you can maximize your Krisflyer escape.
