And you’ve also realised that you don’t have enough miles to redeem a flight for your next epic vacation. Is there no way to fly, and are those hard-earned miles all going to waste?
Fret not – no matter your lifestyle needs, we’ve got you covered with our guide below.
You might not have enough miles to redeem a flight ticket, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t fly! You can mix your miles with cash to reduce the cost of your ticket on Singapore Airlines or Scoot – with a minimum of 1,050 KrisFlyer miles – perfect if you have expiring miles near a special occasion or holiday!
Jetting off on a holiday to shop till you drop? You can also use your KrisFlyer miles to pre-purchase additional baggage allowance.
And if you’re saving it all for a good deal, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for monthly Spontaneous Escapes deals. These are released in the middle of every month, and you might just score yourself a 30% (and sometimes more!) discount off the miles that you’d typically need to redeem a flight. From 5,950 KrisFlyer miles, you could be on a spontaneous getaway to Bali for that much-needed wellness getaway.
The destinations that are featured differ every month, so follow KrisFlyer on Facebook or Instagram to be the first to find out which destinations are up for grabs.
From food and walking tours to high-adrenaline activities and craft workshops, Pelago, the travel experiences platform of Singapore Airlines has plenty on offer.
Simply take your pick from the wide range of experiences available and redeem with your expiring miles. Do note that only full miles redemption is allowed on Pelago.
Putting together an itinerary for an upcoming trip instead? Filter by your destination of choice to browse the full list of activities available.
If “extra-special” is an activity criteria, look no further than KrisFlyer Experiences – a selection of exclusive culinary, entertainment, travel and arts experiences are available just for KrisFlyer members.
Whether you’re doing a staycation, a weekend getaway, or going on that trip of a lifetime, you can redeem your expiring miles for hotel stays on KrisFlyer vRooms. You’ll be spoilt for choice with over 350,000 hotels and resorts available, as long as you have a minimum of 1,500 KrisFlyer miles that you can mix with cash to book that hotel that you’ve always wanted to check in to.
Or, if you are a Marriott Bonvoy member, you’ll be a step closer to your next Marriott stay if you convert KrisFlyer miles to Marriott Bonvoy points.
If you are the type of traveller that has a full itinerary jammed packed with visits to the most Instagrammable hot spots for the perfect photo opportunity, renting a car may be your best bet. Let your four wheels whisk you to wherever you’d like to go – and it all starts when you use a minimum of 1,500 KrisFlyer miles to offset the total cost of your booking on KrisFlyer vRooms.
If you have a birthday or anniversary celebration coming right up, this one might just be for you. With KrisShop, you’ll have access to popular brands like Laneige, Estee Lauder, Jellycat and more – and all of these brands carry a multitude of items that will delight your nearest and dearest.
You have the option to mix miles with cash to offset the total cost of your gift starting from 1,000 miles!
For everyday spend, Kris+ is your go-to app.
With Kris+, you’ll be able to make use of your expiring miles to offset the cost of that sweet treat that you’ve been craving for, or that pair of shoes that you’ve been eyeing. With over 1,500 partner outlets (and counting) across Singapore, you’ll be spoilt for choice when you choose what you’d like to redeem.
Download the Kris+ app, convert your KrisFlyer miles to KrisPay miles and you’re all set to use your miles to offset the cost of your everyday spend.
Alternatively, convert your KrisFlyer miles to NTUC Linkpoints to offset your grocery expenses.
You may also donate miles to KidSTART SG, a Singaporean non-profit organisation that supports early development of children in lower-income families. Miles donated will be used to redeem items or activities from Singapore Airlines or KrisFlyer partners that can enrich the experiences of children in need.
Go ahead, mix and match the myriad of options above to use your KrisFlyer miles, in a way that best suits you and your lifestyle! Find out more here.

If a complete recharge is your goal, Australia serves as the perfect escape from the daily grind. Home to some of the world’s most majestic natural wonders, the cerulean waters, the powdery-white sand, the awe-striking mountain views and the lush greenery Down Under are the ultimate balms for a tired soul. Need some inspiration? Here’s our suggested road trip guide from Sydney to Melbourne, taking you through some of the most striking sights on offer.
To start, secure a car rental by redeeming your miles (or mix miles with cash) on KrisFlyer vRooms, or earn miles when you book with our ground transport partners like Avis, HERTZ or more.
The first stop? The quaint coastal town of Berry, a two-hour scenic drive from Sydney along the Grand Pacific Drive.
Apart from Berry’s charming historical buildings, wineries, farmer’s market and its famous Berry Donut Van, you can’t visit Berry without a hiking stop at the Drawing Room Rocks.
Located in the Barren Grounds Nature Reserve, this natural rock feature earned its name due to its unique tables-and-chairs form because of weathering over time. The three-hour hike is relatively short but steep so do exercise some caution, especially near cliff edges. Once at the top, you’ll be rewarded with sprawling views over Kangaroo Valley and Berry.
Just an hour’s drive from Berry is Jervis Bay, a slice of paradise that offers something for everyone amidst incredible views. Are water sports right up your alley? Diving and snorkeling at Jervis Bay Marine Park are some of your options. Between June to October, humpback whales migrate and Australia fur seals can be seen so you might just find yourself diving alongside them. You can also book a dolphin or a whale cruise if you prefer to experience the local sealife in the comfort of a boat or ship, while soaking in the sprawling landscapes all around.
If you prefer to explore on foot at your own pace, take a leisurely stroll along White Sands Walk. Start at Vincentia, walking down a tranquil path that meanders through a coastal forest, past breath-taking ocean views. End off at Hyams Beach or trek the Scribbly Gum track where kangaroo-sighting is a possibility if you’re in luck.
After a night’s rest, start off the day with a post-breakfast drive to Batesman Bay. Learn about the local history at the Batesman Bay Heritage Museum, ride along the waterfront on cycleway, sample fresh local produce and don’t leave without savouring the delectable Clyde River oysters before you leave.
Just a short 20-min drive away is Guerilla Bay, a snorkelling stop and yet another one of the many magnificent bays that Australia has to offer for nature lovers.
Up next is Merimbula, a coastal stretch of emerald-green waters, tall cliffs, magical tea groves and more. Here, the promise of complete seclusion and disconnect awaits – establish your base on secluded campgrounds if you wish, challenge yourself with a trek to the secluded Moon Bay in Mimosa Rocks National Park or choose from the many secret beaches Merimbula has to offer.
If you’re a foodie, you’ll be spoilt for choice here. Bask in the view of Merimbula Lake as you dine at the award-winning restaurant Valentina, enjoy a post-hike tipple or two at Longstocking Brewery, go on an oyster trail or explore the freshest produce this seaside town has to offer.
From Merimbula, Lakes Entrance will be the first gateway towards the Melbourne leg of the road trip. Take a 3-hour drive through Tarra-Bulga National Park or Port Albert towards Wilsons Promontory, Victoria’s oldest national parks. Trek along the Prom Wildlife Walk and you might be greeted by passing kangaroos and emus. Treat yourself to coastal views when you walk from Tidal River to Squeaky Beach. For the best sunset views, trek up Mount Oberon for a bird’s eye view of Wilsons Promontory at dusk. End the night with an overnight stay at one of the cottages at Wilsons Promontory Lightstation, which is accessible only by sea or a day-long hike. Glamping in a safari-style tent is also an option if you’d like to rough it out in style.
No trip to Melbourne is complete without the iconic drive along the Great Ocean Road, a dreamy drive that lets you soak in the sights of key attractions like the Twelve Apostles, Apollo Bay, Erskine Falls and more.
And finally, don’t forget to make a stop at Brighton Beach for a photograph – or TikTok video – among the famous colourful Victorian-era bathing boxes.
Can’t wait to jet off to Australia for this epic road trip? As a KrisFlyer member, you’ll earn KrisFlyer miles when you fly on Singapore Airlines to and from these destinations. Alternatively, you can also choose to redeem your KrisFlyer miles for this eye-opening trip.

Plan a visit to somewhere off-the-beaten-track and experience a trip like no other. Not sure where to visit? Have a read through this list of 5 cities that will offer you everything from delectable cuisine, nature, heritage and culture, to Instagram-worthy sights to visit – sans the hordes of travellers from around the globe!
If you’ve been to Japan, chances are, you’ve been to the main island of Honshu, but if you’re looking to switch things up a little, visit the island of Kyushu. More specifically, plan to spend time in Fukuoka. Here, you can look forward to both the old and new – think ancient Buddhist temples as well as modern shopping malls. If you’re a big fan of flowers, or the colour purple, aim to visit between late April to early May, and make a trip to Kawachi Wisteria Garden, where you’ll find over 20 kinds of wisterias. The biggest highlight of the visit will definitely be the flower tunnels. When they’re fully covered with the blooms, they’re a sight to behold, and will form a memory that you’ll remember for the rest of your life!
Checked Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City off your list already? Another Vietnamese city to visit is Da Nang, which is well known for its pristine beaches, gorgeous bays, as well as the famous Marble Mountains. The latter are karst formations with pagodas at their peaks, but apart from that, they also house a whole network of caves, tunnels, and towers. If you’re looking to escape the city, make a trip to Ba Na Hills, which is a huge resort complete with a theme park, manicured gardens, and an extremely Instagrammable bridge – picture two, gigantic hands holding up a shimmering golden bridge. Visit at dawn and you’ll surely be mesmerised by this scene.
Plan a visit to one of the most picturesque cities in the African continent: Cape Town. If you’ve always thought that this is a destination for those who are looking to go on a safari trip and stay at a game reserve, think again. The capital of South Africa has much more to offer – long, scenic drives along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, delectable local delights like bobotie, braai, as well as gatsby, and more. Whatever it is, plan to spend a day at Table Mountain National Park for its multitude of trails. Hike up the spectacular Lion’s Head Mountain for views of Table Bay, or hike up one of the many other trails to view Lion’s Head Mountain from afar. Either way, you’re guaranteed breathtaking scenes.
Chaotic streets, cave temples, outdoor bazaars, and film central: these are no doubt some of the terms that best describe Mumbai. This city, which was formerly called Bombay, lies on India’s west coast, and is the largest city in the nation. There are numerous things to see and do here – you could spend an evening at Marine Drive, and watch the sun set over the Arabian Sea. Or indulge in one of the many delicacies that the city is best known for – butter chicken, fish curry, and kebabs. If there’s one thing that you shouldn’t miss, it’s a visit to the iconic Gateway of India stone arch that sits by the Mumbai Harbour waterfront. This 20th century monument is easily one of the most stunning pieces of architecture in this city!
Looking for a laidback city to visit down under? Choose Adelaide if you’d like to visit markets and museums, or restaurant and bar hop. Wine lovers will also love this city as it sits at the foot of not one, but three wine regions, so visiting wineries for days on end is a possibility here. If you’d prefer to be out in nature and have young ones with you, make a trip Mount Barker for a relatively short and easy hike. Summiting this takes an hour or so, and you’ll be treated to panoramas of the surrounding areas, including Mount Lofty, as well as Bremer Valley, when you arrive at the top. Don’t forget to bring some food and drinks with you, and have a leisurely picnic at one of the tables along the trail!
