Learn how to maximize your KrisFlyer miles at Advanced KrisFlyer

Advanced KrisFlyer teaches you how to go beyond the basics and become a power KrisFlyer user. If you already know how to redeem simple point to point awards with Singapore Airlines and its partners, now’s the time to take the next step and unlock the full potential of the program.

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve secured a venue to run another session of this workshop. Here’s the details:

Date: Friday, 23 November 2018
Time: 7.15pm-9.40pm
Venue: Singapore Shopping Centre (next to Dhoby Ghaut MRT), Training Room #02-20A

Want to attend this session but can’t make it? Be sure to indicate your interest in a future workshop here so we can let you know when it goes live.

On a separate note, I’m hoping to run a second session of Alternative Frequent Flyer Programs on Friday 30 November so keep your eyes open for an announcement on that.

Here’s what we cover in Advanced KrisFlyer:

Round the World Awards

Round the World Awards are arguably one of the most aspirational airline awards to redeem. Imagine flying around the world, city hopping and trying different cabin products, all while saving a huge chunk of miles.

That’s in theory, at least. Planning, finding and booking a Round the World Award is easier said than done. During Advanced KrisFlyer, we’ll go through the rules in agonizing detail, and illustrate how you can use this award to plan a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Partner Awards

You may already know that you can redeem your KrisFlyer miles for more than just Singapore Airlines flights, but do you know what flights you should be redeeming your miles for?

We do touch-and-go coverage of partner awards during the Miles for Beginners session, but during Advanced KrisFlyer we’ll really deep dive into all of KrisFlyer’s partner award charts to find the hidden gems. We’ll show you which chart to use when you’re heading where, and how to plan, find and book these partner awards.

Stopovers

Everyone’s probably heard of stopovers, but do you know how to use them to stretch your miles? Stopovers are one of the best kept secrets of award tickets. During this session, we’ll learn how to strategise with stopovers and turn a single city vacation into a multi-city jaunt, or even turn one vacation into two with careful planning.

Mixed cabin itineraries, award holds, faster KrisFlyer searching…

How do (and should) you combine First and Business Class on a single itinerary? How can you buy yourself more time to make a decision on an award flight? And what can you do to overcome the KrisFlyer website’s slow interface? All this and more will be covered in this workshop too!

The goal is that after you’re done with Advanced KrisFlyer, you’ll be well-versed on the full range of options available for spending your miles. Look forward to seeing everyone there!
