KrisFlyer

Singapore Airlines offers own frequent flyer program under the name of KrisFlyer. Being a participant means to have a chance to improve flying conditions by moving to the upper class. Besides, the program covers other air carriers including United Airlines Flight carrier, Air New Zealand carrier, ANA, Turkish Airlines carrier, Thai Airways and others
Working principle is the same as on most similar miles accumulating programs. If you want to turn your coach seat into the business one, a certain number (depends on the destination) of KrisFlyer miles will be withdrawn from your account. For example, if you fly from a European country to Australia, 65 thousand is stipulated for the Saver award and 90 thousand – for Advantage. This point requires an additional explanation.

Saver and Advantage

These are the names of SA upgrade awards. Each of them provides special terms and opportunities. Saver is characterized by the lowest miles demand, as well as the lowest availability. The advantage is more expensive hence more widespread. The difference between them is clearly observed through an example.
Upgrade to the upper class on the flight from Sydney to Singapore requires the following number of miles: Saver – 55,000 and Advantage – 85,000. Certainly, the price of Saver’s upgrade is more attractive but there is a flaw. That option is like a game, in which you can easily lose. Choosing Saver means to join the waitlist and have a chance to overshoot. At the same time, those who prefer pushing luck can try such roulette. So, how does the upgrade procedure look like?
