Anticipation of an upcoming trip is one of the many delights of travelling the world. Discovering an unknown destination, planning the days ahead, and booking hotels, restaurants, and tours makes the most of your time away and enriches the experience. Travellers flying with Singapore Airlines can fuel their wanderlust in the sky, with unlimited complimentary Wi-Fi now available across all cabins. A perk once reserved for Business Class, First Class, and Suites, KrisFlyer members in Economy and Premium Economy can now also stay connected for the entire flight, for free. 

Use the Wi-Fi to map out onward travel and decide where you’re going to grab your first meal or drink. With a bit of on-board preparation, you’ll be able to immerse yourself in your destination like a local from the moment you land. Once you’ve done your research, you can also catch up on work, stay in touch with friends, or plan your next trip on the return flight home – all from the comfort of your seat and at no extra cost, no matter which class you fly.

All airlines get you from A to B, but there’s a big difference between the journey being a necessity and the journey being an experience in itself. When it comes to luxury on board, Singapore Airlines is celebrated as one of best – the airline was recognised as Wanderlust’s Favourite Airline in both 2022 and 2023, and was awarded World’s Best Airline 2023 and World’s Best First Class 2023 by Skytrax.

KrisFlyer members can experience more of this award-winning service, with the opportunity to redeem KrisFlyer miles for flights and upgrades – and the more you fly, the more rewards you can earn. Every flight earns Elite miles alongside KrisFlyer Miles, which allow you to progress through membership tiers and enjoy plenty of perks – think additional baggage allowance, advance seat selection, priority check in and boarding, lounge access, and much more. As you earn more Elite Miles, KrisFlyer Milestone Rewards are unlocked giving you access to bonus miles, discount vouchers, and even Premium Economy upgrades. With the ability to breeze through the check-in and luxuriate in award-winning comfort during the flight, KrisFlyer membership lets you fly in style.

The first thing most of us want to do when we arrive at a new destination is discover the local culture and unwind – from finding the perfect coffee or bakery, to relaxing with an indulgent massage. Singapore Airlines’ Kris+ app is on hand to point you in the right direction, and KrisFlyer members can use the app to exchange points at retail and dining partners in Singapore and across the globe.

With over 1,000 partners in Singapore and even more across the world, there’s something for every kind of traveller. Get 1-for-1 meals and exclusive restaurant discounts, wellness vouchers, discounted tickets to world-class attractions, and more. Or, indulge in the ultimate shopping spree, with complimentary discounts across hundreds of shops in Singapore and abroad. 

The more experiences and rewards you take advantage of, the more rewards you receive, with 6% back in miles for every dollar spent and additional reward points if you pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay. Plus, there’s the opportunity to win with Sure-Win draws and Challenge prizes for completing transactions. It’s Singapore Airlines’ way to make everyday spending while on holiday more exciting and rewarding.

Singapore Airlines lets you do more than redeem KrisFlyer miles for exciting local experiences on the ground, it also helps you discover them. Imagine exploring Bali’s Mount Batur volcano in a 4WD by day and witnessing the spellbinding Ubud Kecak Fire Dance by night; discovering the rich culinary history of Japan with a night food tour through the secret alleys of Dotonbori in Osaka; or going behind the scenes of Broadway, Times Square, and Wall Street with knowledgeable locals in New York. Singapore Airlines’ Pelago travel platform connects you with experiences that immerse you in your destination.

Whether you’re travelling for gastronomic adventure, art and culture, iconic landmarks, behind-the-scenes tours, or anything in between, Pelago acts as a concierge-style service with access to thousands of activities across the globe, with destinations including Singapore, Japan, Australia, Indonesia, United Kingdom, United States of America, and more. You can even buy tickets to popular attractions and landmarks, from Disneyland to the world’s most celebrated museums and galleries.

KrisFlyer members can redeem these experiences for KrisFlyer miles and also earn 3 miles for every S$1 spent on Pelago bookings, meaning the more you experience, the greater the rewards – and the more rewarding your travel will be.
