KrisFlyer Miles Calculator — Singapore Airlines Award Chart
See exactly how many miles you need to fly Singapore Airlines to any destination. Saver and Advantage awards · All cabin classes · One-way and return · Multiple passengers.
KrisFlyer is the frequent flyer programme of Singapore Airlines (SIA), one of the world's most consistently ranked premium airlines. Members earn KrisFlyer miles by flying Singapore Airlines, Scoot, and partner airlines, or through everyday spending on co-branded credit cards, hotel stays, and retail partners.
Miles can be redeemed for award flights on Singapore Airlines and partner carriers, flight upgrades, Scoot redemptions, and more. The award chart is based on zones — geographic regions that group destinations by distance and network from Singapore — rather than a points-per-dollar value, which makes the calculator approach on this page the most intuitive way to plan.
🌐
Zone-Based Chart
Miles required depend on the destination zone, not the exact distance. Zones 2–13 cover all SIA destinations from Singapore.
🎫
Two Award Types
Saver (fewer miles, limited seats) and Advantage (more miles, better availability + stopovers). Both are one-way bookable.
🔁
Round-Trip = 2× One-Way
A return SIA award ticket always costs exactly twice the one-way miles. The calculator shows both automatically.
💳
Taxes Paid Separately
Taxes, airport charges, and surcharges are additional to miles — payable by card at booking. Saver Economy awards start from approximately US$24 on some routes.
Saver vs Advantage Awards
Choosing between Saver and Advantage is essentially a trade-off between miles cost and seat availability. Here is the full breakdown:
Saver Award
Lower miles, limited seats
Fewest miles required
Available on all SIA cabin classes
Premium Economy available
Good for flexible travellers who book early
Limited seat availability
Peak dates can be hard to secure
No complimentary stopovers
Advantage Award
More miles, better availability
Access to more seats on every flight
Two complimentary stopovers per round-trip
Ideal when dates are fixed
Reliable for last-minute bookings
Costs roughly 1.5–2× Saver miles
Premium Economy not available
Stopover tip: An Advantage round-trip award includes up to two complimentary stopovers of 24 hours or more — up to 30 days — anywhere on your routing. This can make the higher miles cost worthwhile if you want to visit two destinations on one trip. Stopovers can be added on singaporeair.com when booking eligible award tickets.
For most travellers booking well in advance to popular leisure destinations (Japan, Australia, Europe), Saver is the better value — especially in Economy or Business. Advantage makes more sense when Saver seats are sold out or when the stopover benefit adds meaningful value to your itinerary.

What this calculator does not cover
Access Redemption — dynamic miles pricing where exact amounts are shown only at point of booking
Star Alliance / partner airline awards — different mile rates apply
Taxes and surcharges — additional to miles and vary by route and date
Upgrade awards — use SIA's official upgrade chart for upgrade redemptions
Scoot redemptions — start from 1,500 KrisFlyer miles; book via flyscoot.com
Infant tickets — cannot be booked on KrisFlyer award miles; must be purchased with cash
Children (ages 2–11) — require the same miles as adults for Saver and Advantage awards
Access Redemption is a third redemption type introduced by Singapore Airlines that operates differently from Saver and Advantage awards. It is not covered in this calculator because the miles required are dynamic — they change based on demand and are only shown at the point of booking confirmation.
🔓
Secured Seats
Access lets you use miles to book any available seat — even if all Saver and Advantage award seats are fully redeemed. You are not competing for a limited award bucket.
📊
Dynamic Pricing
The miles required vary based on seat demand and can fluctuate throughout the year. The award chart does not apply — the figure is displayed only when booking.
✅
When to Use It
Useful when your travel dates are fixed and no Saver or Advantage seats remain. Ideal for last-minute or peak-season bookings where award availability is low.
SIA releases Saver award seats early. The best availability — especially for Business Class and Suites to Japan, Europe, and Australia — goes quickly. Book as soon as the booking window opens.
2
Use Advantage for fixed travel dates
If your dates are locked in and no Saver seats remain, Advantage is your reliable fallback. The higher miles cost is often worth it over forfeiting the trip entirely.
3
Leverage the Advantage stopover
An Advantage round-trip award includes two complimentary stopovers of up to 30 days each. Adding a Tokyo stopover on your London itinerary, for example, costs no extra miles — just the additional taxes.
4
Earn miles on credit cards
SIA-branded and miles-earning credit cards (e.g. KrisFlyer UOB, Amex Singapore Airlines, Citi PremierMiles) are one of the fastest ways to accumulate miles through everyday spending without flying.
5
Use up to 5 redemption nominees
KrisFlyer members can designate up to five redemption nominees — family, friends, or colleagues. You can use your miles to book award tickets for them. Adding nominees is free; deleting them costs miles.
6
Mind the miles expiry
KrisFlyer miles expire after 3 years of account inactivity. Keep your account active with small transactions — a Scoot booking, a KrisShop purchase, or a partner earn — to preserve your balance.
Frequently Asked Questions
A Saver award requires fewer KrisFlyer miles but has limited seat availability. It is the most popular option and seats can fill up quickly, especially on peak travel dates. An Advantage award requires roughly 1.5–2× more miles but offers access to more seats on all flights and includes two complimentary stopovers per round-trip ticket — making it ideal for travellers who need confirmed seats or want to extend their itinerary.
A one-way Business Saver award from Singapore to London (Zone 11 — Europe) requires 108,500 KrisFlyer miles. A round-trip Business Saver requires 217,000 miles. On an Advantage award, one-way Business requires 141,500 miles. All figures exclude taxes, surcharges, and fees payable by card at booking.

Children aged 2–11 require the same number of KrisFlyer miles as adults for Saver and Advantage awards.
