Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer - Searching for partner airlines redemption on SQ website

Hi,

Is there a way to search for mileage redemption on partner airlines? I looked around SQ website, and all I could find is a pdf form that asks me to list my preferred travel destination and dates. I would then have to submit this form manually. Is there really no tool that I can use to book online?

Thanks.

I was wondering if there is an online tool where I can search and book myself. Looks like the only way is to go fill up the form and fax it to them?

Not possible on SQ website.

I used a combination of the following:

1. United: general overview of availabilities as they can show in a convenient calendar form. Can be done for all cities, except for Cuba. The downside is that sometimes they are shown unavailable but actually available for SQ.

2. ANA: on specific dates and only between selected city pairs but most accurate to reflect what is actually available for SQ.

3. Aeroplan: better than United and I think it also reflects what is actually available to SQ

I see. So I go to the partner airline's website and look for redemption seats then I go and fill up the form and fax it to SQ and hope that the seats are available?

Thanks.

Or call Krisflyer.

Exactly, but calling them will give you faster results.
Not sure how fast they response to faxes and by that time, the available seats may be gone.

An alternative is to ask them to find a route with a date range and let them scour for availabilities if you are not too particular about airlines and routings. For me, I enjoy finding unusual routes and making the journeys longer (as I fly premium classes only and want to maximize the experience).

An excellent reason to keep your miles in an FFP other than KF. I have booked three trans Pacific flights through UA website, all on SQ metal because I could get super saver mileage redemption. UA flights were either not available or double miles for standard award.

Well, ok….. in Y, J or F?

I would be interested to know if one can get 4 transpacific seats in SQ F using UA miles or any other airlines. And I will migrate my loyalty to UA or that other airline if I can get the same quantity and quality seats which I will get as an SQ KF member. I am happy now knowing that 4 seats in F are open on many long distance routes for KF members.

From my experience of BD redemptions previously, KF members have access to SQ redemption inventory that is not accessible by *A members. Best to not keep all eggs in one basket...
