Since 2022, Singapore Airlines has been offering Sky Suites packages for the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix through its KrisFlyer Experiences programme. This is an opportunity for guests to enjoy gourmet food, fine wine and live entertainment while taking in the sights and sounds of the race — though for many, the race is but a sideshow!
With this year’s event just a few months away, KrisFlyer Experiences has announced 2026’s Sky Suites packages, which start from 165,000 miles each. KrisFlyer UOB Cardholders can enjoy a 10% miles rebate, albeit in very limited quantities.

2026 Singapore Grand Prix F1 Sky Suite packages
KrisFlyer Experiences has unveiled the pricing for its 2026 Sky Suites packages, which range from 165,000 to 310,000 miles per person.
| Experience | Cost Per Pax | Date |
| Sky Suite: Practice & Sprint Qualifying | 165,000 miles | Friday, 9 Oct 2026 |
| Sky Suite: Sprint Race & Qualifying | 220,000 miles | Saturday, 10 Oct 2026 |
| Sky Suite: Grand Prix | 310,000 miles | Sunday, 11 Oct 2026 |

As expected, the cost of these packages has increased again this year. However, the 15,000-20,000 miles increase is steeper than the typical 10,000 miles increment we’ve seen in previous years.

| Year | Practice | Qualifying | Race Day |
| 2022 | 100K | 150K | 300K |
| 2023 | 130K | 180K | 300K |
| 2024 | 140K | 190K | 310K |
| 2025 | 150K | 200K | 310K |
| 2026 | 165K | 220K | 315K |
The answer probably lies in the on-track programming. The 2026 event marks Singapore’s first-ever F1 Sprint weekend, which means additional consequential racing action on Friday and Saturday, instead of just the usual parade of “cars-which-are-not-F1”.
| 🏁 What is an F1 Sprint? 🏁 |
|
Sprints are short races covering 100km — roughly one-third of a typical Grand Prix distance — with no mandatory pit stops and up to 8 points on offer (8 points for 1st, 7 points for 2nd etc.) This replaces two of the three free practice (FP) sessions. A Sprint Qualifying Session replaces FP1 on Friday to set the grid for the Sprint. The Sprint race itself replaces FP3 on Saturday, before regular Qualifying for Sunday’s race takes place. The Sprint is designed as a standalone event, though events that happen during the Sprint can affect the Grand Prix, e.g. grid penalties and crash damage. Six races on the 2026 Grand Prix circuit have been designated as F1 Sprint events: China, Miami, Silverstone, Montreal, Zandvoort and Singapore. |
Here’s how the addition of the Sprint affects the overall schedule:
- Friday, 9 October 2026: First Practice & Sprint Qualifying
- Saturday, 10 October 2026: Sprint Race & Grand Prix Qualifying
- Sunday, 11 October 2026: Grand Prix
Sky Suites guests can look forward to a specially-curated “world-class menu”, and free-flow champagne (Taittinger Brut Reserve NV, based on previous years) and drinks. For reference, here’s what the menu in the KrisFlyer Sky Suite looked like at 2022’s event.
They also receive full access to all four zones of the F1 circuit, where they can catch the full range of entertainment. Each evening features a different line-up, headlined by:
- Friday, 9 October 2026: JJ Lin, Split Enz, Cortis
- Saturday, 10 October 2026: Zara Larsson, Goo Goo Dolls
- Sunday, 11 October 2026: Janet Jackson, James Arthur
All KrisFlyer Experiences are non-refundable once redeemed, and members can redeem as many of each package as they wish, subject to availability.
10% rebate for KrisFlyer UOB Credit and Debit cards
Just like previous years, KrisFlyer UOB Credit and Debit cardholders will enjoy a 10% rebate on the miles required for Sky Suites packages.
| Experience | Cost Per Pax (net of rebate) |
Date |
| Sky Suite: Practice & Sprint Qualifying | 148,500 miles | Friday, 9 Oct 2026 |
| Sky Suite: Sprint Race & Qualifying | 198,000 miles | Saturday, 10 Oct 2026 |
| Sky Suite: Grand Prix | 283,500 miles | Sunday, 11 Oct 2026 |
| Booking Link | ||
Do note that a special booking link is used for this offer. You will not receive the rebate if you make your booking through the regular booking link.
Also remember that this is a rebate and not a discount. In other words, you will still require the full number of miles to make the initial booking — the rebate will be credited later.
The T&Cs have not yet been updated for 2026, but based on previous years, we can expect the following:
- A maximum of six redemptions will be available for each package
- Each cardholder can only enjoy a maximum of one redemption, across all packages
- The full amount of miles will be deducted initially, with the rebate credited by 31 December 2026
- You must have been a KrisFlyer UOB cardholder as of 30 June 2026 to enjoy the rebate
That last point means that if you don’t already have a KrisFlyer UOB Credit Card, it’s too late to run out and apply for one now. All you can do is apply for a card in anticipation of the 2027 packages!
Is it worth it?
Sky Suites packages can be bought with cash, but all sessions have already been sold out for 2026. Based on their cash prices, however, you’re looking at anywhere from 1.39 to 1.8 cents per mile.
| Date | Price | Value Per Mile |
| Practice (9 Oct 2026) |
S$2,300 |
1.39¢ |
| Qualifying (10 Oct 2026) |
S$4,000 |
1.81¢ |
| Race (11 Oct 2026) |
S$5,500 |
1.75¢ |
I wouldn’t describe this as outstanding value, but it’s still better than most on-ground redemption options. Besides, how do you place a value on the ability to access a sold-out event like this, or the enjoyment you’ll get?
I personally don’t know much about racing beyond “car go fast good”, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the previous F1s I’ve attended. I redeemed the KrisFlyer Experiences Sky Suites a couple of times, then went to ruin everything by redeeming a Marriott Bonvoy Moments auction for the Paddock Club. Once you’ve done that, it’s very hard to go back!
Don’t get me wrong; there’s nothing wrong with Sky Suites. You’ll still have a great view of the track, amazing food, and a lovely evening. The food in the suite is so-so, but up on the Sky Terrace you have plenty of great restaurants operating pop-up booths serving bite-sized portions of their most popular dishes, all included.
Ultimately you’ll have to make the call for yourself, though this is probably the marquee event for KrisFlyer Experiences, and might be worth experiencing at least once.
Conclusion
KrisFlyer Experiences has announced its Sky Suites packages for the 2026 Singapore F1 Grand Prix, the first to feature a Sprint Race weekend.
The additional event has had a commensurate effect on pricing, as Friday and Saturday sessions have increased by 10% to 165,000 and 220,000 miles respectively, while Sunday’s race-day event has increased marginally by 5,000 miles to 315,000 miles.
KrisFlyer UOB Credit and Debit cardholders will enjoy a further 10% rebate, though it’s only available in extremely limited quantities, and you’ll need to act fast once it goes live.
I’ll drop an update on MileLion Roars once the launch date is announced, so stay tuned.
