Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), progressively welcomed four new E190-E2 aircraft since (with memorable names such as Small Yella Fella, Jalan-Jalan, Travel Kaki and Gotta Scoot!) and expanded its network further to include new destinations – Vienna in Austria, Iloilo City in Philippines, Phu Quoc in Vietnam, Padang and Kertajati in Indonesia, Shantou in China and Malacca in Malaysia.
With this, KrisFlyer members have more reasons to rejoice with new destinations to fly to and more opportunities to earn KrisFlyer miles through these flights.

Log in to your KrisFlyer to start booking your flights with Scoot today. And if you are travelling to these destinations below, tag us on Instagram (@krisflyer.official) and use the hashtag #MilesBetterwithKF for a chance to be featured on KrisFlyer platforms.
Getting there from Singapore: A 13-hour flight on Scoot to Vienna
Best time to visit: Spring and autumn when temperatures are comfortable, with less crowds
Vienna needs no introduction. The Austrian capital is famously known as the City of Music and was once home to famous composers Mozart, Beethoven and Strauss. For classical music lovers, concerts at Vienna State Opera or Musikverein Golden Hall, home to the Vienna Philharmonic, are not to be missed. Musikverein is where the highly-anticipated New Year’s Concert by the Philharmonic is broadcast globally every year.
Vienna is also famous for its architecture with landmark buildings that include St Stephen’s Cathedral, Hundertwasser House, Schönbrunn Palace, Hofburg Palace and Looshaus.
Book your tickets to key Vienna attractions from Pelago here.
Getting there from Singapore: A 2-hour flight on Scoot to Phu Quoc
Best time to visit: During the dry season from November to April when the weather is sunny and dry, and the waters are calm
Known for its beautiful beaches with powdery white sands and glittering turquoise waters, Phu Quoc is the perfect island paradise that is just a short flight from home. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, off the coast of Cambodia, Phu Quoc is ideal for a short retreat where sun, sand and sea are aplenty.
Go on an island hopping tour, taking you to Mong Tay Island (at times dubbed the Maldives of Vietnam) Gam Ghi Island for its brilliant coral reefs, May Rut Trong Island and May Rut Ngoai Island.
Phu Quoc, home to 99 mountain peaks, is also a great travel destination for adventurous ones who prefer hiking and working up a sweat. Visit Phu Quoc National Park and explore the Gahn Dau trail, a popular hiking trail that takes you to Mount Chua, the park’s highest point that offers stunning view of the island.
Other hotspots include wildlife conservation park VinPearl Safari, VinWonders theme parks, Sunset Town (known as the most beautiful sunset viewing spot in Vietnam) and more.
Book your private transfers, island hopping tours plus tickets to other popular attractions including VinPearl Safari, VinWonders and more from Pelago here.
Getting there from Singapore: A 1.5-hour flight on Scoot to Padang
Best time to visit: It it generally hot all year round, but June to August typically sees lesser rainfall.
Padang is the capital and largest city in the Indonesian province of West Sumatra, where majority of the Minangkabau population and culture are rooted.
Think of Padang, and Padang food, which originated from the Minangkabau population, comes to mind. This includes its signature must-try dishes boasting spicy, rich flavours like beef rendang (meat stewed in coconut milk and spices), nasi padang (steamed rice with dishes from the region), dendeng balado (crispy beef with chili), soto padang (a type of beef soup) and more.
Apart from its delicious cuisine, Padang is famed for its folklores such as the story of Siti Nurbaya who was forced to marry a older wealthy merchant as well as the tale of an ungrateful son, Malin Kundang, who was cursed to stone by his mother. A popular local attraction, the Siti Nurbaya Bridge, is a landmark associated with the former and also provides a scenic view of the river. At Pantai Air Manis, visitors can see the large rock formation that represents the stone figure of Malin Kundang.
Visitors should also not miss out the Grand Mosque of West Sumatra, a contemporary example of Minangkabau architecture, Adityawarman Museum, Lembah Anai Waterfall and Old Town, where Dutch colonial-era buildings still mark the area.
Book your private transfers and tours to key Padang attractions from Pelago here.
Getting there from Singapore: A 4-hour flight on Scoot to Shantou
Best time to visit Shantou: In spring and autumn for more pleasant weather
Shantou, located in the eastern coast of Guangdong, China, might not be as familiar to many but still has plenty on offer. It’s a gastronomic heaven, tempting foodies with popular dishes such as shang tang ju bao (steamed abalone in thick soup), suancai baishan (boiled white eel with pickled vegetables), hong wen haishen (stewed sea cucumber in sauce), doujiang ju ji (steamed chicken in fermented bean sauce) and jingua yuni (pumpkin with mashed taro).
Don’t leave Shantou without going to Nan’ao Island – often known as the “Hawaii of China” – where you can catch stunning views at the Nan’ao Bridge, visit the iconic lighthouses, sample the local seafood dishes, learn about history and more.
Other Shantou highlights include Zhongshan Park, Queshi Scenic Area and Shantou’s Old Town.
Getting there from Singapore: A 2-hour flight on Scoot to Koh Samui
Best time to visit: December to February, avoiding the monsoon season in October and November
This popular beach getaway destination in Thailand needs no further introduction. At Ang Thong National Marine Park, the famous cerulean blue waters of Emerald Lake is reason enough for a day trip there. Marvel at the stunning limestone formations, take a dip in the clear blue waters at the beaches, explore hidden caves or spot some wildlife – there’s no shortage of activities here, making it a popular day trip destination.
If lazing at the beaches of Koh Samui is your idea of relaxation, then skip the popular Chaweng Beach and head instead to Choeng Mon Beach and Lipa Noi Beach.
After Koh Samui, you may consider stopping by Ko Phangan, famous for its Full Moon Parties, or Ko Tao, a popular diving destination due to its variety of marine life, including turtles, stingrays, reef sharks, barracudas, and whale sharks.
Book your tickets to attractions like from Pelago here.
Getting there from Singapore: A 2-hour flight on Scoot to Sibu
Best time to visit: March to October
Admittedly, Sibu is a destination in Sarawak that is under the radar, compared to its more popular East Malaysian counterparks Kuching and Miri.
However, with the launch of flights to Sibu on Scoot from June 2024, the gateway to this underrated city has now expanded, with plenty in store for tourists.
Start with a visit to Sibu Central Market, where you can take home with you some local delicacies, exotic tropical fruits not found anywhere else in Malaysia, and handicraft that is perfect for souvenirs. Next, a trip to Sibu Heritage Centre provides a good overview of Sibu’s culture and diversity. Enjoy an evening stroll at Rejang Esplanade, located along the Rejang River, and be sure to catch the sunset to cap off the evening. Don’t miss out on the Sibu Night Market, a great stop to try local cuisine snd street snacks.

Summary: Cherry Blossom Season in Japan: Maximise Your Trip with KrisFlyer
There are plenty of ways you can earn miles for this bucket list trip to Japan. Flying is the most traditional way to do it, and often earns you the greatest number of miles, depending on your booking class.
Not only can you earn miles when you fly with Singapore Airlines or Scoot, you can also earn KrisFlyer miles on our partner airlines such as All Nippon Airways (ANA), Lufthansa, Air New Zealand, Eva Air, Turkish Airlines, United Airlines and more.
The percentage of actual miles flown that you earn depends on your booking class, as well as your cabin class. You can also calculate this using the Singapore Airlines miles calculator on the airline website.
Example:
If you fly from Singapore (SIN) to Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport (HND) in Business Class onboard Singapore Airlines, and the booking class of your tickets is J, Z or C (Business Flexi), you will earn 150% of the actual miles flown.
In this case, the actual miles flown is 6,586 miles, so you will earn 9,880 miles from your flights alone.
PPS Club, KrisFlyer Elite Gold and Elite Silver members can also enjoy a 25% tier bonus on actual miles flown on eligible flights.
Remember to add your KrisFlyer membership number to your booking for the miles to be credited to your account.

If you prefer to not fork out any cash for your flights, saving your money instead for your shopping sprees in Japan, then redeeming your miles for award flights could be an option. Based on the Singapore Airlines Saver Award Chart, a total of 54,000 miles is required to redeem a return flight in Economy Class to Japan.

Summary: Fun weekend activities in Singapore for the whole family – and earn miles while at it!
Want to feel like you’re on vacation, even if only for a weekend and without even leaving the country? Then Sentosa is the perfect answer.
After all, this beachside wonderland offers anything and everything from adventure-filled activities, numerous attractions, a wide range of dining and hotel options, and the promise of endless fun in the sun for your whole family.
To start, book your staycation at one of Sentosa’s many hotels. Here’s a pro tip – when you book through one of KrisFlyer’s many hotel partners including Accor (Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa), Marriott (W Singapore Sentosa Cove), Capella Group (Capella Hotel Singapore) and more, you can earn KrisFlyer miles which can count towards your actual family holiday in future.
Next, take your pick from one of the many activities on offer. Does a competitive streak run in the family? Put it to the test at UltraGolf, where courses give enough of a challenge for both the mini golfers and the seasoned ones.
If thrill-seeking is a shared family trait, look no further than Mega Adventure Park where you can take your pick from a 450m-long zipline over the Imbiah Hill jungle and Siloso Beach, a treetop obstacle course or jump 8-metres high on the bungy trampoline.
And if you decide to take things slow towards the evening before dinner, a sunset cable car ride to take in the sights and sounds is a beautiful way to end the day.
With Kris+, you can earn 1 mile per SGD1 spent and 3 miles per SGD1 spent when you pay for your cable car ride and Mega Adventure Park experience respectively via the app. Book your UltraGolf tickets on Pelago to earn 3 KrisFlyer miles per SGD1 spent.
With erratic weather conditions alternating between heavy downpours and scorching heat of late, it might be a little tricky to plan for a full day out with the family. Here’s one activity to consider for your little ones, especially if they have plenty of energy to burn before dinner and bedtime – gymnastics.
At BazGym Gymnastics School, children from as young as three years old can try their hand at improving motor skills, balance and coordination through gymnastics lessons. Lessons involve the use of trampolines, balance beams, bars and other special equipment to aid with learning. For children aged five years and above, they will build upon their foundation and learn higher level skills which include handsprings, handstand variations, somersaults and twists.
This inclusive space also offers gymnastics lessons for children with special needs and adults.
There are three locations islandwide: SAFRA Punggol, SAFRA Jurong and Home Team NS-JOM (Balestier).
With Kris+, you can enjoy a 1-for-1 adult gymnastics class trial at SGD72 (or 10,800 miles). Earn 3 miles for every SGD1 spent. Or, redeem a free registration (usual price SGD50) for new students who pay with Kris+. Valid until 31 December 2024.
When it comes to the usual suspects – Singapore Zoo, Bird Paradise, River Wonder and Night Safari – it’s almost impossible to run out of things to do. What makes it even better is that each visit is almost always a memorable day out, no matter how often you find yourself at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve.
As the park continues to expand and evolve, visitors can continue to look forward to more developments, including the eco-friendly Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, set to open in early-2025.
Book your Singapore Zoo, Bird Paradise, River Wonders or Night Safari tickets on Pelago to earn 3 miles per SGD1 spent.
Pottery’s twice the fun when you do it with someone you love. Book a class at The Potters with your child, located at A’Posh BizHub, to try your hand at the craft and walk away with a ceramic bowl or two.
Each class is just under two hours, and recommended for a parent as well as a child aged between 7 and 12 years old. Firing and glazing are also included in the price.
Book your ticket on Pelago to earn 3 miles per SGD1 spent.
In a concrete jungle like Singapore, expansive nature spaces and farms are far and few between. At Hay Dairies, you can experience a goat farm with the family and even try your hand at feeding the goats.
Hay Dairies, located just opposite the entrance to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, also has goat milking sessions which typically take place early in the morning. It’s best to head there as early as possible so as not to miss out.
Book your ticket on Pelago and to earn 3 KrisFlyer miles per SGD1 spent.

Getting there from Singapore: A 6-hour direct flight on Scoot to Jeju
Step inside JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa and be immediately enthralled by its impressive architecture. Opening its doors last year, this cliffside property overlooking the East China Sea pays homage to the gorgeous natural landscapes of Jeju and cultural Korean traditions while marrying these with modern elegance. This comes in the form of its traditional hanok-inspired lobby, verdant landscapes that represent a Jeju farm, guest rooms inspired by vibrant canola fields and many more.
When it comes to culinary delights, say no more. At Yeoumul, tucked away and hidden from sight, savour omakase dishes with local seafood harvested by the local haenyeo (Jeju’s female deep-sea divers who harvest seafood by hand). Experience one of Jeju’s most famous delicacy, the black pork, at The Flying Hog or enjoy tea sets and desserts inspired by Jeju’s nature at The Lounge.
There’s no shortage of things to do onsite as well. For a relaxing start to the day, join their morning stroll programme, which includes a leisurely walk along the scenic Olle Trail 7 course. Or, enjoy a spot of cocktail-making with fresh herbs grown in the JW Garden and seasonal fruits from Jeju.

At The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, your only task is to sit back, relax and bask in the warmth of the sun and the views of azure waters all around you. If you’re up for a dash of adventure, then head to the Dive Centre for diving, other water sports or even a private boat charter for a romantic tour out at sea.

Starting from 13,500 miles, you can redeem a one-way flight ticket on Singapore Airlines to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
With its vibrant and colourful decor, JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa’s aesthetic is a breath of fresh air. Designed by award-winning interior designer Bill Bensley, the hotel blends luxury and whimsy, and is set against the backdrop of a fictional 19th century French university. Each building has a story to tell – explore the Dean’s library in the main lobby, stay in rooms that were once classrooms or unwind and relax at the Chanterelle Spa which was previously a mushroom mycology wharf. It’s a concept unlike any other that will leave guests excited to explore all that it has to offer.
Equally as fascinating are the hotels culinary offerings. At the Pink Pearl, an ornately-decorated restored mansion almost entirely washed in pink (surprise, surprise), guests can tuck into exquisite French fine dining. Up for a tipple or two? Then don’t miss its Department of Chemistry Bar, a themed bar that takes you back to chemistry lessons as a student – but in a good way. Chemists craft delightful cocktails in a laboratory-like set-up and deliver delicious concoctions while you enjoy the sea views outside.
