Scoot Introduces Fixed Award Chart

Singapore Airlines’ low-cost arm Scoot has launched a new award chart, letting KrisFlyer members redeem fixed-mileage economy flights starting at just 1,500 miles one-way.

Previously, Scoot redemptions worked on a fixed value of 1¢ per mile, which meant it wasn’t possible to redeem for an outsized value compared to cash fares.

Now, with a fixed-zone award chart, KrisFlyer members can enjoy predictable pricing – and in many cases, significantly better value.

For us Canadian travellers, this can be a cost-effective way to cover short-haul flights within Asia, position for a long-haul award, or reach destinations that aren’t served by Singapore Airlines or Star Alliance partners.

How the Scoot Award Chart Works

Scoot’s award chart is divided into 17 zones, with mileage rates based on the origin and destination pairing. There are two redemption types:

• Saver:  Lower mileage cost but limited availability.
• Advantage: Higher mileage cost but more availability closer to departure.

Both Saver and Advantage awards include a seat and 10kg of carry-on baggage, are strictly non-refundable except for medical or major schedule changes, and do not allow route changes.

Date changes are possible for a fee, and if the new date only has Advantage space, you’ll pay the mileage difference. ScootPlus and premium cabin redemptions are not available.

With a network spanning over 60 destinations across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Europe, here’s a look at where Scoot can take you:

Taxes and fees are paid in cash, with Singapore’s current outbound airport tax set at S$65.20 (about $65 CAD) and slated to rise gradually to S$79.20 by 2030. On the upside, Scoot doesn’t impose fuel surcharges, keeping the additional costs relatively modest.

Here’s the Scoot award chart, which lays out the fixed KrisFlyer mileage rates between each of the 17 travel zones:

If you’re unsure which zones your origin and destination fall into, Scoot also offers an online miles calculator that lets you quickly check the exact redemption cost for your route before booking.

Why It Matters for Canadians

The new chart brings especially strong value on regional hops from Singapore.

For example, Singapore (SIN) – Kuala Lumpur (KUL) now starts at 1,500 miles compared to 8,500…
