Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer rewards UK travellers with miles on every flight from London — redeem them for award tickets, cabin upgrades and partner experiences, while PPS Club delivers exclusive luxury benefits for frequent Business and First Class flyers.
Singapore Airlines flies direct from London Heathrow to Singapore with one of the youngest fleets in the sky. From the Changi hub, passengers connect seamlessly to more than 130 destinations across Asia, Australia and beyond. In 2026 the KrisFlyer programme, together with the invitation-only PPS Club, remains free to join and uses a clear dual-track system of KrisFlyer miles for rewards and Elite miles or PPS Value for status.
Cabin crew earn consistent praise for their professionalism, politeness and attentiveness. Passengers highlight excellent food — including the popular Book the Cook service — and strong in-flight entertainment, though some note average Economy meals and occasional baggage or customer service frustrations at peak times.
What is the KrisFlyer programme?
KrisFlyer is Singapore Airlines’ core loyalty scheme. Members earn KrisFlyer miles on flights and partner spending, then redeem them for award tickets, upgrades and more. Separate Elite miles, earned when flying with Singapore Airlines or Scoot, determine access to KrisFlyer Elite Silver and Gold tiers.
PPS Club sits above the standard Elite tiers. It rewards high spend in Suites, First Class or Business Class through PPS Value and offers enhanced privileges such as non-expiring miles and priority services.
How to join KrisFlyer
Signing up takes moments on the Singapore Airlines website or app. The programme is free and the account activates instantly. New members may claim miles for flights taken up to three months earlier. UK travellers can register easily using the dedicated UK portal.
No fee applies, and children can have their own free KrisFlyer accounts to earn alongside family.
Membership tiers and benefits in 2026
KrisFlyer features four main status levels, with PPS Club as the premium tier earned through cabin spend rather than sectors flown.
Standard qualification uses a rolling 12-month period:
- KrisFlyer: free entry level
- KrisFlyer Elite Silver: 25,000 Elite miles
- KrisFlyer Elite Gold: 50,000 Elite miles
- PPS Club: 25,000 PPS Value (earned flying Suites, First or Business Class)
- Solitaire PPS Club: additional 50,000 PPS Value while holding PPS Club status
Elite Silver offers priority check-in, boarding, extra baggage and complimentary seat selection. Elite Gold adds lounge access worldwide (including Star Alliance Gold lounges) and priority baggage handling.
PPS Club and Solitaire PPS members receive all Elite Gold benefits plus non-expiring KrisFlyer miles, enhanced lounge access (Business Class area of SilverKris Lounge for PPS, First Class area for Solitaire), double baggage allowance on Singapore Airlines, concierge service via PPS Connect and priority award redemption. Solitaire PPS also includes a supplementary card for a partner and private reception at selected airports.
Ways to earn miles
Members earn KrisFlyer miles on Singapore Airlines and Scoot flights, plus Star Alliance partners. Everyday earning comes through credit cards, hotels, shopping and dining partners.
Link accounts with partners such as KrisShop, Pelago and selected retailers. PPS Club members earn PPS Value on premium cabin flights and can also accumulate limited PPS Value from non-flight spend with Kris+ and other Singapore Airlines services.
Insider tip — add your KrisFlyer number to every booking and link partner cards early to capture miles automatically on shopping and hotel stays.
How to spend miles
Redeem KrisFlyer miles for Saver or Advantage award flights on Singapore Airlines and Star Alliance partners. Cash plus miles options cover any available seat or upgrade. PPS Club members enjoy priority access to award seats and redemption discounts through PPS Rewards.
Use miles for hotel stays, car hire, shopping and dining via the KrisFlyer portal. Mix miles and cash for greater flexibility on flights and add-ons. Miles do not expire for active PPS Club and Solitaire PPS members.
