Singapore Airlines Krisflyer is a popular frequent flyer program among us for varied reasons. The Krisflyer miles are easier to earn thanks to several earning and transfer partners. At the same time, the good redemption options for premium cabins and the Spontaneous Escapes make it one of the most sought-after programs. Now, there is some adjustment in the miles required for award flights, and Singapore Airlines Krisflyer miles have modest devaluation starting 1st November 2025. However, it is not a significant devaluation like we have seen from other airlines, such as United and Turkish, but rather a modest increase, with an opportunity to redeem miles at the old rates for the next two months.
What has not changed?
So, Singapore Airlines has not done away with a region-based award chart. The award chart continues to have Zone-Based Award Pricing. Also, no fuel surcharge has been increased as of now, and it can be increased anytime. Still, Singapore Airlines has one of the lowest fuel surcharges on its award flights.
What has changed starting 1st November 2025?
Two changes are coming for Singapore Airlines Krisflyer Members Starting 1st November 2025:
Introduction of Access Redemption
Singapore Airlines is introducing a high-mileage required award flight, which you will be able to book as long as there are available seats. Seats available for Access redemption are over and above the seats available for award flights. We are here to see the pricing for Access Redemption, which will depend on the demand and supply.
Here is the comparison between Saver/Advantage Award and Access Redemption:
Singapore Airlines Krisflyer Miles Modest Devaluation w.e.f. 1st November 2025

Other Krisflyer Miles Changes
Apart from Singapore Airlines & Star Alliance Award miles, have also been increased for Upgrade Awards, Garuda, Juneyao, and Virgin Australia Award Flights.
Managing Devaluation
The New Award will be applicable for bookings made on or after 1st November 2025. So, any award booking made till 31st October 2025 will continue to be at the old rates. One Plus point of booking an award flight now is that if you change date or flight (not route change), you do not need to use or pay additional miles; however, you may have to pay $25 as a change fee for Saver Awards and Zero fees for Advantage Awards.
For any other changes on or after 1st November 2025, the new award chart will kick in, and you will have to pay additional miles.

Thoughts
Singapore Airlines Krisflyer Miles Devaluation is modest and often comes after a gap of 3 to 5 years. So, it was not so unexpected and at the same time not a brutal devaluation as we have seen from Top Airlines like United & Turkish Airlines. That makes Krisflyer Miles a good Program to earn and redeem for your next travel adventure on one of the best cabins you can fly.
