Difference in KF miles paid

[SQ1]

Just did a mock booking PER to JFK return, SQ would pay me 23930 KF miles.

When I book each section PER to SIN, SIN to FRA and FRA to JFK separate they'll pay me 25332 KF miles.

Why the difference??? Anybody more experienced can help me???

Here they state clearly 25332 miles Great Circle Mapper

Cheers

These mismatches are often the result of 2 segments having the same flight number... (and consequently crediting the "direct" rather than actual miles flown as if it was a non-stop between those two points)

I note that GCM says that PER-SIN-JFK-SIN-PER is 23915 miles so I do wonder whether you are being credited on that basis.... (the difference of 15 miles could well be due to SQ using a different "mapper"..)

Is the SIN-FRA-JFK all one flight number?

you are flying PER-SIN-JFK (With a technical stop in FRA) basically. you are credited for 2 sectors. Same happens if you fly Qantas on say... QF1 all the way from SYD to LHR.

Hi trooper,

Thanks for your reply, it's SQ26 SIN-FRA-JFK same flight number.

I'd like to make a 3 weeks break in Germany before I'll continue my flight onto JFK. So that would not count as technical stop!!??

In this case, you will get the higher mileage.
