Check your Amex account to see if you have a transfer bonus to Singapore Airlines Krisflyer. It was first reported as targeted, but it seems more and more accounts are populating this offer so I’d guess the likelihood is yours is targeted too. Singapore Airlines has some great redemption options including

• US to Europe on Star Alliance
  • Business Class 72k
  • First Class 107k
• JFK to FRA on Singapore Airlines
  • Business Class 72k
  • First Class 86k
• Houston to Manchester on SQ
  • Business Class 72k
• From North Asia to South Asia
  • First Class 53k

Here’s a look at the offer

Why do I care about Singapore Miles – primarily the US to Europe routes

Currently Singapore Airlines operates 2 fifth freedom routes between the US and Europe…and the rates are pretty good to fly in premium cabins:

• Houston to Manchester
• New York to Frankfurt
  • business and first class

Houston to Manchester

This route is serviced by an A350 and runs 72k in biz with minimal taxes and fees. Since I’m married to a Brit this is a route that can make a lot of sense to us to fly in comfort and arrive rested.

Singapore Airlines has a fantastic business class product, but the seats vary throughout the cabin. Choosing the right one can maximize your experience, namely booking one of the bulkhead seats. Notice the difference between having to angle your feet sideways into the cubby hole vs having a whole bench to rest your feet.

NYC to Frankfurt

Right now, this route is being serviced by an older 777. Now, don’t get me wrong, even the older 777s are super nice, but keep an eye on this route later in the schedule to see if they add the A380. Regardless, flying Singapore Airlines first class for just 86k points is amazing. With this transfer bonus, we’re talking just 72k miles to fly one of the best first class products in the world

• 72k in business
  • 60k Amex with 20% transfer bonus
• 86k in first class
  • 72k Amex with 20% transfer bonus

Here’s a look at first class on the 777.

Don’t forget to the Book the Cook  which is a service where you can select from a long list chef made meals. From personal experience the food Is tremendous and available on select flights from Premium Econ up to First Class.

Do Singapore Miles expire?

Yes, after 3 years, so don’t transfer speculatively

Overall

This is a great deal, but don’t transfer unless you have a specific purpose for the redemption. We’ve seen many transfer bonuses this past year so only pull the trigger when need be.
