The Star Alliance Round-the-World Award offered by Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer program is a great deal. For just 280,000 KrisFlyer miles, plus taxes of course, you could fly around the world with up to 7 stopovers across the Star Alliance network!

But booking one of these does take a bit of work and there are some catches. In this episode, Matt speaks to someone who’s booked 3 of these awards this year using his KrisFlyer miles.
