KrisFlyer devaluation beginning Nov 1st 2025

[I love to travel]

My prediction in the future, J/F Saver awards will be reserved for PPS members .... Everyone else would still have Y/Y+ Saver and J/F Advantage access.

I so hope you are wrong

From memory, when R first came out, R awards weren't able to be booked at all? Then they changed it.

5% or so for J, not that bad

Not quite true.
It's 5% for J Savers to and from SIN ie redemptions to and from Zone 1 only to Zones 2 - 9.
If traveling beyond SIN and a connection is required, the change is in the 10% region.
So SQ's announcement that J Savers from Zones 1-9 have a 5% increase is actually not true.
(eg J Saver KUL-SYD was 68,500, changes to 75,500 10.2% increase)

How did you accumulate these many points from Kris+? Lots of eating outs?

Most people can't the list of places in Melbourne is laughable

Not one place I would ever go, even with the ability to earn great miles

I disagree. Happy Lulu's CKT is on the list of places. I hear good things about San Telmo (haven't personally gone yet, but it's on the list)

I think it is mostly 5% if you're origin is Zone 1. But those of us in Australia (Zone 8 or Zone 9) are seeing some higher percentages when travelling to Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, or even Hong Kong.

Sadly, the FF World continues to decline.

People forget that SQ used to have Full Award categories for years, got eliminated a few years aho and now its back as a new thing called “Access”. Full award was any seat available at a fixed (very high) price in miles. Same same….. this increase is nothing compared to what other airlines are doing.
SQ does not lie like QF if they say additional seats to saver and advantage it means additional seats.

If you can find saver availability.

If you can find saver availability.

As long as it stays like it has, no issues

Final day to redeem award flights at the current rate.

Did a few searches at 11am AEDT (8am SGT) and the site didn't crash or error out (I didn't make a booking though, no plans for Oct '26). I was expecting there to be pretty heavy server load today, but SQ must have plenty of capacity.

Good luck to all out there making redemptions today before the increase tomorrow!

Was sitting on a stash of flybuys and velocity points. Near instant transfers. Got a sin<>bne J return Saver for Feb, was happy to find availability on the exact dates I wanted.

That's the joy with SQ - Try doing that on Qantas...
