Earn KrisFlyer Miles on More Economy Class Flights

We are delighted to announce that you can soon earn KrisFlyer miles on certain promotional Economy Class fares on Singapore Airlines and SilkAir.

When you book an Economy Class flight on Singapore Airlines under ‘Sweet Deals’ and ‘Super Deals’, you will receive 50% and 10% of applicable KrisFlyer miles respectively. When you book an Economy Class flight under ‘Hot Deals’ on SilkAir, you will also receive either 50% or 10% of applicable KrisFlyer miles, depending on your booking class. These promotional fares will, however, not be eligible for the additional tier bonus.

You can start earning KrisFlyer miles for flights booked under the above-mentioned fare types for flights departing on or after 1 April 2012, regardless of when you booked your flight.

FAQ:

Q: I booked my flight on Singapore Airlines which will depart after 1 April 2012 under ‘Sweet Deals’ a few months ago. Will I earn KrisFlyer miles?
A: Yes. As long as your flight departs on or after 1 April 2012, regardless of when you made the booking, you can earn 50% of applicable KrisFlyer miles. However this fare will not be eligible for additional tier bonus.

Q: I booked my flight on SilkAir which will depart after 1 April 2012 under ‘Hot Deals’. How many KrisFlyer miles will I earn?
A: You will receive 50% of applicable KrisFlyer miles if you booked your flight on N or Q booking class, and 10% of applicable KrisFlyer miles if you booked your flight on T or V booking class. Please refer to your electronic ticket to find out which booking class you are booked on.

Q: Will I earn Elite miles when I book for flights under ‘Sweet Deals’ and ‘Super Deals’ on Singapore Airlines, or ‘Hot Deals’ on SilkAir?
A: Yes, like earning KrisFlyer miles, you will receive Elite miles equivalent to 50% or 10% of applicable KrisFlyer miles, depending on the booking class on which you booked your flight.

Q: Will PPS Club, KrisFlyer Elite Silver and Elite Gold members receive additional membership tier bonus for flights booked under ‘Sweet Deals’ and ‘Super Deals’ on Singapore Airlines, or ‘Hot Deals’ on SilkAir?
A: No, as these are promotional fares, the additional membership tier bonus will not be applicable.

10% - 50% isn't much, but it's better than nothing! Especially since these fares still earn elite qualifying miles.

I hope this extends to the rest of *A (i.e. other *A FFPs can earn points at lower-than-Flexi-Saver classes), as well as the Velocity program.
