But did you know that you can book a Singapore Airlines stopover on your award ticket? We'll show you how to do so and what rules apply if you want to book one. If you're unfamiliar with what a stopover is, don't worry; we'll cover that, too.<\/p>\n<p>We should mention that the Singapore KrisFlyer program has a much broader application than First Class awards and stopovers. With multiple bank transfer partners to accrue miles and a host of Star Alliance airlines to spend them on, it's easy to rack up miles, and knowing the KrisFlyer award routing and stopover rules is key to getting the most out of your points.<\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Overview_of_the_Singapore_Airlines_KrisFlyer_Program\">Overview of the Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Program<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Singapore_Airlines_KrisFlyer_award_charts\">Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer award charts<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#What_Is_a_Stopover\">What Is a Stopover?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Singapore_Airlines_Stopover_Rules\">Singapore Airlines Stopover Rules<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#KrisFlyer_Award_Routing_Rules\">KrisFlyer Award Routing Rules<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#How_To_Search_and_Book_Singapore_KrisFlyer_Awards\">How To Search and Book Singapore KrisFlyer Awards<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#How_To_Add_Singapore_Airlines_Stopover_on_Award_Itineraries\">How To Add Singapore Airlines Stopover on Award Itineraries<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#How_To_Earn_Singapore_KrisFlyer_Miles\">How To Earn Singapore KrisFlyer Miles<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Singapore_KrisFlyer_transfer_partners\">Singapore KrisFlyer transfer partners<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Best_credit_cards_for_earning_KrisFlyer_miles\">Best credit cards for earning KrisFlyer miles<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Final_Thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<h2><span id=\"Overview_of_the_Singapore_Airlines_KrisFlyer_Program\">Overview of the Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Program<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you're unfamiliar with Singapore KrisFlyer, you should take some time to familiarize yourself with the frequent flyer program of highly-rated Singapore Airlines. As a member of the Star Alliance, you can use KrisFlyer miles not only for Singapore Airlines flights but also for tickets on a large swath of partners.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Singapore_Airlines_KrisFlyer_award_charts\">Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer award charts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Singapore Airlines has two awards charts &#8212; one for awards on its own flights and the other for partner awards. It's critical to keep in mind which chart applies to the award you wish to book. If you have any segments on a partner airline, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singaporeair.com\/saar5\/pdf\/ppsclub_krisflyer\/charts\/StarAlliance_RoundTripAwds.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\">partner award chart<\/a> applies. Note that the partner award chart shows prices for round-trip tickets, but you can book a one-way award for half the cost.<\/p>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singaporeair.com\/saar5\/pdf\/ppsclub_krisflyer\/charts\/SQ_AwdChart.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\">award chart for Singapore Airlines flights<\/a> features two award levels &#8212; Saver and Advantage. It goes without saying that saver awards are cheaper than Advantage awards.<\/p>\n<p>One perk of the KrisFlyer program is that Singapore Airlines also allows you to waitlist for award flights. For partner flights, there is a single price, and you can only book if the award space is available to Singapore Airlines &#8212; no waitlisting allowed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_159735\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-159735 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Singapore-Airlines-A350-Tim-Dennert-Unsplash-Featured-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"Singapore Airlines A350 taking off.\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Singapore-Airlines-A350-Tim-Dennert-Unsplash-Featured-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Singapore-Airlines-A350-Tim-Dennert-Unsplash-Featured-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Singapore-Airlines-A350-Tim-Dennert-Unsplash-Featured-325x260.jpg 325w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Singapore-Airlines-A350-Tim-Dennert-Unsplash-Featured.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Singapore Airlines A350.

Depending on your routing, you may be limited to connections of up to four hours when flying domestically. For most international itineraries, you're almost always limited to up to 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Think of a stopover as a much longer connection, one that can stretch a few days or far more. But they're also still part of one airline ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Stopovers are most commonly booked on international flights. For example, if you're flying from New York to Istanbul, you could book a flight from New York to Munich on Lufthansa and stay for a few days before continuing to Istanbul. With some airline loyalty programs, you can do this for the price of a direct itinerary from New York to Istanbul.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/layover-vs-stopover\/\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">What Is the Difference Between a Layover and a Stopover?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Singapore_Airlines_Stopover_Rules\">Singapore Airlines Stopover Rules<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you're considering redeeming KrisFlyer miles and adding a stopover, here are the rules you'll need to abide by:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>On Singapore Airlines, get one free stopover per one-way Advantage award or per round-trip Saver award.<\/strong> Stopovers aren't possible on <em>one-way<\/em> Saver awards. If booking a round-trip Advantage award, you can have an additional stopover, for a total of two.<\/li>\n<li><strong>On Star Alliance tickets, get one free stopover per round-trip award. <\/strong>However, this cannot be applied on a wholly domestic itinerary or within the departure country. Stopovers are also not permitted if wholly within Europe or between the U.S. and Canada.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stopovers are complimentary for award tickets.<\/strong> You used to be able to book a paid stopover. This is no longer an option for award tickets. On cash tickets, you can book a multi-city itinerary with up to six flights, but that's a topic for another post. However, stopovers are complimentary for award tickets on Singapore Airlines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stopovers are limited to a maximum of 30 days for award itineraries.<\/strong> Your stopover can be a maximum of 30 days. If you want a stopover of longer than 30 days, you'll need to book two separate awards.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span id=\"KrisFlyer_Award_Routing_Rules\">KrisFlyer Award Routing Rules<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Beyond the Singapore Airlines stopover rules, you should be aware of the other rules that apply to tickets booked using KrisFlyer miles.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A maximum of six travel segments is allowed per itinerary.\u00a0<\/strong>This appears to apply to both Singapore and Star Alliance awards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Star Alliance or other partner segments may not be waitlisted.<\/strong> However, Singapore Airlines segments can be waitlisted as part of a Star Alliance award.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You cannot backtrack as part of an award.<\/strong> As an example, you can't fly from New York to Dubai, then from Dubai back to Europe, and then continue on to East Asia.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One open jaw is allowed at the origin or destination.<\/strong> For example, you can fly between San Francisco and Singapore, then Singapore back to New York City on your return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/singapore-krisflyer-miles\/\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Redeem Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Miles<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_To_Search_and_Book_Singapore_KrisFlyer_Awards\">How To Search and Book Singapore KrisFlyer Awards<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To search for KrisFlyer awards, navigate to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/singaporeair.com\" rel=\"noopener\">singaporeair.com<\/a>.
