KrisFlyer College

Welcome to our KrisFlyer College series on how to maximise your KrisFlyer miles redemptions. All parts of the guide are a good refresher, as even experienced members of the program will usually learn something they didn’t know before.

It starts off with the basics for beginners to KrisFlyer, but as we progressively add over a dozen parts it will help guide you through increasingly more advanced methods for using your miles.

These include redeeming miles for upgrades, incorporating stopovers, booking Star Alliance and partner airline redemptions and identifying where some sweet spots lie, including tax-free award tickets and miles discount offers.

Here’s where we’re up to with KrisFlyer College so far:
