Upcoming Changes to Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer

Singapore Airlines has announced that there will be some changes coming to its KrisFlyer loyalty program later this year. 

As of November 1, 2025, redemption rates are changing (in both directions, though mostly up) on its various award charts, and there will be a third redemption type (Access awards) with dynamic pricing introduced. 

While KrisFlyer has become more difficult to access ever since HSBC Rewards was phased out of Canada, the program still offers great opportunities to access some of the most aspirational flight experiences around for those who are willing to work for them.

Upcoming Changes to Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer

On November 1, 2025, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer is making some adjustments to its award charts, which will affect the number of KrisFlyer miles it will require for awards and upgrades.

There are also some other changes coming to how you can earn KrisFlyer miles, which can be found on the Singapore Airlines website.

In some cases (for economy flights within Asia and the South West Pacific), the redemption rates are going down, while in other cases (for business class and First Class flights, as well as economy redemptions to other zones), redemption rates are increasing. 

Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s changing:

• Economy Saver redemptions for flights within Asia and the South West Pacific (Zones 1–9) are decreasing by 5%
• Business and Suites/First Saver redemptions for flights within Asia and the South West Pacific are increasing by 5%
• Saver awards in all classes of service for flights to and from Europe and the United States (Zones 11–13) are increasing by 5%
• Saver awards in all classes of service for flights to and from Africa, the Middle East, and Türkiye are increasing by 10–20%
• Advantage award rates in all classes of service and all zones except for Zone 10 are increasing by 10–15%
  • For Zone 10, Economy Advantage rates are increasing by 5%, Business Advantage rates are increasing by 18%, and Suites/First Advantage rates are increasing by 15%

These increased rates kick in as of November 1, 2025, and all redemptions ticketed before then will be subject to the current award chart.
