A Brief Introduction to Frequent Flyer Programs Part II

After accumulation of miles via travelling or by credit card usage, you should have signed up for a krisflyer account by now. Transfer the miles from your credit card account to your KF account.

To redeem a flight, log in to Krisflyer and key in your destination.
A round trip saver economy ticket from Singapore to Hong Kong costs 25000 miles and a tax/fuel charges of $170.40. Online booking gets you a further 15% discount on the miles needed and the miles deducted is then reduced to 21250 miles. For Holidays, availability is lower as airlines are able to sell more regular tickets and FFP members tend to travel more on these dates as well. Hence, plan your trips well in advance!
SQ bookings are open 363 days in advance.

It is generally more worthwhile to book further destinations. For example, a round trip economy saver from singapore to milan costs 59500 miles(with discount) and 543 dollars in taxes. That's a pretty good deal as a regular ticket costs ~$1600.
A lot of planning is needed to plan for your dream trip. So always plan ahead!
