Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer announced last week that there will be some changes coming to the program on March 23rd. KrisFlyer isn't a huge program for us Canadians especially after they stopped flying here many moons ago. However some of you may make use of the program either by flying SQ outside of Canada, crediting Air Canada & Star Alliance flights to SQ or transferring hotel points like SPG's Starpoints to KrisFlyer. So these changes will be of interest to those of you who do use this program. The biggest and worst change is the loss of th 15% discount for booking awards online, everybody loved this option! Fuel and other surcharges for award flights on Singapore Airlines are being nixed however most standard mileage amounts for award tickets are going up to accomodate for this. Here is an example provided by Singapore Airlines on pricing for the Singapore-San Francisco route (note that the old amount does not include the 15% off for online redemption.) In general, due to the loss of the 15% discount the new award chart requirements are a devaluation to the KrisFlyer program even with the removal of the fuel surcharges.
