IMHO, the ability to waitlist for awards is the feature that makes Krisflyer stand out.

Are "Complimentary Upgrades" and "Silver Kris Lounge Access" actually part of the KrisFlyer FFP?
Also, some of the other benefits are *A perks that are not unique to KrisFlyer but apply to all FFPs across the alliance.
Bonus points seems to be the only one on the list that SQ knowingly added as a benefit.
I would like to nominate the following as the biggest benefit that I see when it comes to KrisFlyer: "Saver awards." Here we're looking at 1/2 the miles compared to a regular award, so if you are flexible with dates then you can grab a biz seat for a very generous amount of miles.

I'd nominate the variety of inbound transfer partners. Being able to stuff an award together via a mix of Chase, Hyatt, and Starwood points is quite nice.

I am not sure why people should vote on standard Star Gold benefits when we are talking about what makes Krisflyer special:
- Award availability (Krisflyer is one of the very few programs that give you access to all flights in all classes)
- Waitlist for upgrades and redemptions (Krisflyer is one of the very few programs that allow both for all classes of service and all flights)
- Waitlist clearance by status (Krisflyer is extremely helpful and generous in clearing waitlist for Elite members)
- Award availability (Krisflyer is one of the very few programs that give you access to all flights in all classes)
