Singapore Airlines and Scoot KrisFlyer award prices by route

We’ve completely rebuilt our guide to KrisFlyer award rates by route, including an all-new lookup tool that shows the miles you need for any flight in a couple of taps. Our full A-Z tables can now also be sorted by miles, so you can easily see where your balance can take you, and for the first time, Scoot rates sit alongside Singapore Airlines.

It’s almost a year since KrisFlyer’s November 2025 devaluation, which also brought a new, and very costly, redemption type in the form of Access awards for Singapore Airlines flights.

Both the tool and the tables cover all three Singapore Airlines award types. They also cover both carriers’ handful of “fifth freedom” flights between two overseas points.

Look up the miles for your route

Choose Singapore Airlines or Scoot, then pick your route from the drop-down and, for SIA flights, your cabin class.

The tool shows the miles needed for Saver, Advantage and Access awards side by side, colour-coded from green (Saver) to red (Access). Switch to Scoot and the whole box changes to the low-cost carrier’s rates.

Each airline’s fifth freedom routes sit at the bottom of its own route list.

All rates are one-way, to or from Singapore, per person. Planning a return trip? Flick the ‘Show round-trip rates’ switch and the figures double automatically – each table has its own switch as well.

Rates are only shown for cabins actually operating on a specific route over the next year, and any cabin not offered on your chosen route is greyed out in the tool.

For example, Singapore to Perth shows Economy and Business Class rates only, as no aircraft on this route have a Premium Economy or First Class cabin installed. In this sense the tables also act as a quick reference guide for the routes on which you can currently redeem Premium Economy and First Class award tickets.

KrisFlyer miles rates A-Z, to and from Singapore

Prefer to see everything at once? Our full tables list every route alphabetically, with rates in thousands of miles. Singapore Airlines rates are split across Saver, Advantage and Access tabs, while Scoot’s simpler chart fits Saver and Advantage side by side. Not sure which is which? We explain the differences further down.

Use the airline buttons at the top to switch between the two carriers.

New for this update, you can tap any column heading to sort by miles, lowest or highest first. It’s the quickest way to answer the “where can I go with the miles I’ve got?” question.

Got 50,000 miles? Sort the Saver Business column and you’ll find more than 40 destinations within reach one-way. They run from Bali, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur at 22,000 miles up to Beijing, Mumbai and Shanghai at 45,000 miles. For Scoot, it’s enough for a round-trip to Athens or Vienna at Saver rates.

Itineraries via Singapore

Remember the tool and tables above are designed to show simple routings to/from Singapore. For more complex routings transiting SIA’s hub (e.g. Perth – Singapore – Milan) it’s not a case of adding two miles rates together like it is with some other frequent flyer programmes – and that’s a good thing!

Instead you need to refer to the KrisFlyer zone-based award chart to calculate the miles requirement.

For Zone 8 to Zone 11 in this case (Perth to Europe), it’s 131,500 miles each way for a Saver Business Class award, not 151,000 miles (42,500 PER-SIN + 108,500 SIN-MXP).

Singapore Airlines and Scoot “fifth freedom” flights

Here are the same lists of award pricing for Singapore Airlines and Scoot flights that don’t operate to or from Singapore itself. On SIA, that’s Milan to Barcelona, Frankfurt to New York and Tokyo to Los Angeles. On Scoot, it’s Taipei to Seoul, Sapporo and Tokyo.

Use the airline buttons to switch between the two.

KrisFlyer award types

Here’s a quick comparison of the key differences between the three award types on Singapore Airlines flights.

KrisFlyer Award Type Comparison
Feature	Saver Award	Advantage Award	Access Award
Pricing	Fixed miles (award chart)		Dynamic (availability-based)
Availability	Limited	Moderate	Commercial inventory (last seat)
Waitlist	Yes		No
Date changes	US$25	Free	Free
Cancellation	US$75	US$50	US$50
Stopovers	R/t: 1 O/w: 0	R/t: 2 O/w: 1	R/t: 2 O/w: 1

Access awards don’t have a formal published award chart, and SIA reserves the right to change the pricing at any time.

Based on our extensive searches, though, they fall into specific rate levels depending on the cheapest commercial fare bucket on sale at the time. There’s a single level in Economy and First, two tiers in Premium Economy and four in Business Class, and our tool and tables show all of them.

We’ve covered this in more detail in our guide to Access awards – but they’re certainly not something to aim for, even though they have their use cases in certain circumstances.

Scoot redemptions are much simpler. The low-cost carrier’s fixed-price award chart has just two award types, Saver and Advantage, for Economy Class only. Advantage costs more but is usually available on more flights and closer to departure. That’s the only difference, as both share the same rules – no waitlisting or route changes, a fee for date changes, and no refunds except on medical grounds or after a schedule change of two hours or more.

Low miles rates don’t necessarily mean good value, though. Scoot’s cash fares are often cheap enough that redeeming works out poorly.

Promo award rates

There’s one more award type for KrisFlyer redemptions on Singapore Airlines – the Promo award.

This is the carrier’s way of offering a fixed discount on Saver award rates during promotional periods, but these redemptions are non-changeable and non-refundable.

We can see this in action right at the time of writing, thanks to the monthly Spontaneous Escapes promotion, which can be booked until 31st October 2026 for travel in November 2026.

Typical Spontaneous Escapes discounts offer 30% off the Saver rates shown in the tables above to and from selected cities, like they do this month, though higher discounts have been offered occasionally, reaching up to 61% in some cases.

This month’s list includes Frankfurt to New York in Economy Class, for example, with the year-round rate of 27,500 KrisFlyer miles cut to 19,250 miles (30% off) for travel in November 2026.

Since April 2026, Spontaneous Escapes has included Scoot flights too, though with a smaller discount. This month it’s 15% off, bringing Scoot awards down to just 1,275 miles one-way on routes like Kuala Lumpur, Malacca and Penang. See our Scoot Spontaneous Escapes article for the full list.

Promo awards aren’t just for Spontaneous Escapes. SIA can also use them to apply any discount it likes on Saver rates, as it did in the recent Global Redemption Sale, with 15% off Economy and Premium Economy (and 10% off Scoot) for travel through to May 2027.

You can also refer to the following zone-based KrisFlyer award redemption charts published by Singapore Airlines and Scoot to determine the award pricing for your redemption or upgrade.

• Singapore Airlines Saver and Advantage Award Chart
• Singapore Airlines Upgrade Award Chart
• Scoot Saver and Advantage Award Chart

SIA also has a KrisFlyer online miles calculator, where you can click ‘Redeem Miles’ then enter your routing and cabin class to check the applicable redemption rates. Scoot offers a similar tool here.

There’s also the option to sit in the Premium Economy cabin on some shorter flights where sale of cash tickets or awards in this cabin is not normally offered, including to and from Kuala Lumpur, Malé and Jakarta. See our guide on how to do this.

• How to sit in Premium Economy on short SIA routes

Once you know how many miles you need, our award release date calculator will tell you when SIA first opens award seats for your flight.
