Krisflyer Miles

[orchids]

Pen88n:

Service fees and taxes not covered. To be paid separately.


You can use to redeem either child / adult tickets - same mileage required though child ticket is about 2/3 or 3/4 adult ticket price. However, take note that if SIA has promotion, it is usually on adult ticket, and not child ticket (sometimes up to 50% off). Also, if you are buying child ticket separately, you cannot buy online (as child will need accompanying adult), so you need to get from SIA office. Tell them which flight youhave redeem for and get the child ticket for same flight. If you book early, should not have issue of no seat.

Is it possible to redeem air ticket for an overseas friend to fly into S'pore?

TIA

If I nominate a friend as my nominee, does he have the authority to get ticket for someone else?

Thankyou everyone.. Have been travelling via budget airlines these past years.. but now that DS1 is going primary school.. I find that the difference in prices for budget and full svc is not that much.. so thinking of using the hubby's miles from his biz travel.


Will take note on the promotion details for airfares!! Did u guys know that star alliance carriers have super high taxes?!?! it's alot more than what Cathay pacific is charging!!

SO far we have been keeping our points for hotels under their own reward system as they do not have black out or expiry dates.. n we do then to spend more on hotels than transport. Guess I should talk to hubby about applying for some credit card with Krisflyer miles.

Thanks eveyone!!

have had the experience of flying CX over SQ during my trip to HK last year...bought the F&E package so got no choice but to stick to the airline. Heard abt the good comments on CX esp going to HK but didnt find them comparable with SQ...service was not great but passable...even saw how a stewardess serve an old lady her drink...carpet was abit wrinkled and is like abit old etc...

you are still in control of the account, not your nominee

there is a need to pay for the tax and surcharges too.........

Hi im still doubtful regarding krisflyer miles.


1) If we book travel through a tour agency, can we still earn krisflyer points?


2) If we are flying on a star alliance, can we transfer or earn krisflyer?



3) Does AMEX krisflyer credit card points tied to your krisflyer account?
Ex: i sign up for a krisflyer and have earn a some miles, den i sign up a AMEX CC. Can it be linked or its separate?

Thanks

Booking through agency likely cannot clock points as tour agent normally buy "cheap" ticket which are not entitled for mileage accumulation

[rydy]

Yup, if travel agents book \"restricted\" tickets at low price, usually you cannot collect mileage.


As long as you travel with airlines under SA, the miles will be accrued into your Krisflyer account.

These miles are quite nice to have for redemption of free air tickets.
Note expiry date also.

I have redeemed for holidays for my family of 4 to Gold Coast and Tokyo last couple of years. Excluding tax and surcharge of course.

Not decided yet where to go this year end though. :?
