With the Singapore F1 Grand Prix less than two months away, KrisFlyer Experiences has brought back its highly-popular Sky Suites packages.

Set against a spectacular horizon of speed, sound and lights, expect a multi-sensory experience at the FORMULA 1 SINGAPORE AIRLINES SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX 2023. Witness man and machine go wheel-to-wheel at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in the ultimate pursuit of speed from the ultra-exclusive Sky Suites at Turn 2.

Enjoy spectacular panoramic views at Sky Terrace, or head into the fully air-conditioned Sky Suite and attached private viewing gallery for a lavish trackside experience. Look forward to a world-class menu, free-flow Champagne, and a delectable curation of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Packages start from 130,000 miles, with limited redemptions available.

I personally redeemed one of these last year, and it was an incredible experience. Even if you don’t care much for racing, there’s still plenty of food, drinks, and fantastic entertainment (too bad Westlife turned into a mud party).

❓ What is KrisFlyer Experiences?

KrisFlyer Experiences is SIA’s experience platform, allowing members to redeem KrisFlyer miles for money-can’t-buy activities like F1 Sky Suites, a chartered Points Plane to Langkawi, and a KrisFlyer-themed cruise to nowhere. KrisFlyer Experiences can be redeemed for the member or his/her friends and family.

Singapore Grand Prix F1 Sky Suite Package

KrisFlyer members can now redeem their miles for the following Singapore F1 packages: 

All experiences are non-refundable once redeemed, and members can redeem as many of each package as they wish, subject to availability.

Guests will enjoy a specially curated “world-class menu”, and free-flow champagne and drinks. Each evening also features a different line up of entertainment, namely:

• Friday 15 September 2023: Jackson Wang, NIKI, Rich Brian
• Saturday 16 September 2023: Post Malone, The Kooks, Kings of Leon
• Sunday 17 September 2023: Robbie Williams, Kings of Leon, Groove Armada

For your reference, here’s what the menu in the KrisFlyer suite looked like at 2022’s event.

10% miles back for KrisFlyer UOB cardholders

KrisFlyer UOB Credit and Debit cardholders will enjoy a 10% rebate on the miles required, as follows. Each package is capped at six redemptions, so act fast. 

They must use the special booking link for KrisFlyer UOB cardholders (refer to the above table). The full amount of miles will be deducted initially, with the rebate credited by 31 December 2023.

You will not be able to take advantage of this option unless your KrisFlyer UOB Credit Card was linked to your KrisFlyer account before 30 June 2023.

The T&Cs of this offer can be found here.

Is it worth it?

While you can of course buy a Sky Suite with cash, all sessions are currently sold out.

Cash prices have increased by 15-20% compared to 2022’s race, and miles costs by 20-30% (except Race Day, which has remarkably remained the same). This means you get roughly 1.5-1.9 cpm of value, slightly better than last year.

If you’re on the fence, my personal advice is: go for it. I paid 300,000 miles for 2x tickets to the qualifying night, and it’s something I’m going to remember for a long time. The hospitality in the suite was amazing, with the ambassadors pulling out all the stops to ensure everyone had a good time. The champagne kept coming. The food never stopped. 

And you weren’t just limited to the suite either; all guests could head up to the Sky Terrace, where restaurants like Alma, JAG, and Un-Yang-Kor-Dai had pop-up stands serving bite-sized portions of their greatest hits, all for free!

So you won’t be leaving hungry, or sober.

Conclusion

KrisFlyer Experiences had launched its Sky Suites packages for the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix. These are sure to get snapped up quickly, so make a decision quickly about whether you want to hop on board (and don’t forget to use the correct redemption link, if you’re a KrisFlyer UOB cardholder!)

Will you be heading for the Singapore F1 this year?
