The change will come into effect starting December 7, 2017. On the plus side of the changes, Singapore has also introduced the option of booking Star Alliance partner awards online. The new chart is as follows:<\/p>\n<p><img data-aspectratio=\"939\/389\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19845 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Singapore-KrisFlyer-Star-Alliance-Award-Chart-Starting-December-7-2017.png\" alt=\"Singapore KrisFlyer Star Alliance Award Chart Starting December 7 2017\" width=\"939\" height=\"389\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Singapore-KrisFlyer-Star-Alliance-Award-Chart-Starting-December-7-2017.png 939w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Singapore-KrisFlyer-Star-Alliance-Award-Chart-Starting-December-7-2017-300x124.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With a quick glance it is quite a devaluation from its previous Star Alliance award chart below:<\/p>\n<p><img data-aspectratio=\"939\/389\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19846 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Singapore-KrisFlyer-Star-Alliance-Award-Chart-Through-December-6-2017.png\" alt=\"Singapore KrisFlyer Star Alliance Award Chart Through December 6 2017\" width=\"939\" height=\"389\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Singapore-KrisFlyer-Star-Alliance-Award-Chart-Through-December-6-2017.png 939w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Singapore-KrisFlyer-Star-Alliance-Award-Chart-Through-December-6-2017-300x124.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Key_Changes_From_The_US\">Key Changes From The US<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The good news is that there is no change on awards from the Continental US to Hawaii, which can be booked on United metal. Round trip award tickets to Hawaii will still set you back the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>35,000 miles in Economy<\/li>\n<li>60,000 miles in Business<\/li>\n<li>80,000 miles in First<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This still holds great value and is cheaper than booking an award on United using your United Mileage miles. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.united.com\/web\/en-US\/apps\/mileageplus\/awards\/travel\/awardTravel.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Per the United award chart<\/a>, the cheapest roundtrip flights will set you back:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>45,000 miles in Economy<\/li>\n<li>80,000 miles in Business<\/li>\n<li>100,000 miles in First<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The rest of the routes from the United States have been hit hard, with significant price hikes across the board. The only routes that have not changed are to\/from two regions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Southeast Asia 1: No change to Economy and Business awards, First class increased by 22,500 miles<\/li>\n<li>Southeast Asia 2: No change to Economy and Business awards, First class increased by 22,500 miles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The addition of online booking is good news since it will greatly simplify the process, <a href=\"\/airlines\/singapore-krisflyer-miles\/\">which previously required you to make a phone call<\/a>. One drawback is that while you can still make a phone booking, there is a $25 fee unless the award you are booking is unavailable online.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Our_Take\">Our Take<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although no one ever likes a devaluation, there is still some value to be had with the new chart, especially on flights to Hawaii with United. In addition, Singapore has not devalued its own award chart, <a href=\"\/airlines\/best-singapore-krisflyer-awards\/\">which still has some excellent sweet spots<\/a>. Furthermore, there is no change to its <a href=\"\/news\/airlines\/book-alaska-flights-singapore-miles\/\">award chart for Alaska flights<\/a>, which also has some value on flights to Hawaii. Overall despite being a devaluation, it might not work out as bad as it first seems.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <\/em><a href=\"\/blog\/link\/STTP\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\"><em>Straight To The Points<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"ftoc\"><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Key_Changes_From_The_US\">Key Changes From The US<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Our_Take\">Our Take<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singapore has announced a devaluation to its Star Alliance partner award chart.
