Star Alliance
The nature of our site is to teach readers. the rules of reward travel and get the most out of their points, especially those earned using American Express credit cards and the many bonuses that give away hundreds of thousands of points without spending anything.
In this article:
Today we want to talk about how by cumulating a number of opportunities we can get a better result than usual.
A small premise, this will not be a cheap conversion, but the reward is absolutely commensurate with the number of MR points needed.
The goal
The basic rule of thumb for serial point accumulators is to have a specific goal in mind, a strategy to achieve it, and proper timing to peel off the prize ticket.
A380 Singapore Airlines
The purpose of this article is to explain how to obtain the status Gold Singapore Airlines, and thus the level Gold Star Alliance, and travel first class in the incredible double cabin on the second floor of the Airbus A380 of the city-state company.
How much are two first-class tickets?
The first thing to know is where theSingapore Airlines' A380. It is currently unclear which routes will be operated, the only certainties in Europe being connections from the city-state to London and Frankfurt.
In the case of the Frankfurt flight, if desired, it is also possible to book the continuation of the flight that leaves Germany in the direction of New York. We are talking about one of the most expensive tickets on the current market.
A round-trip ticket from London costs close to 10,000 pounds, about 11,300 euros.
In September 2022 a ticket From Frankfurt, again to Singapore, costs slightly less, about €6,500.
The same ticket costs 250,000 Skywards points and just under 140k. To get 250k Skywards points you normally need to transfer 378k Membership Rewards points, but right now you only need 327 thousand thanks to dedicated promotion for members to the Asian carrier's loyalty program.
I transferred in less than 6 hours 75k MR points to my Krysflier profile. I received 50k Krysflier points + 7,500 bonus points and 10,000 status points useful for renewing my Gold level with Singapore Airlines. I now have enough points to peel off an award ticket to fly from Frankfurt to New York. In the Singapore suite.
The couple who regrets parting on a platform
The interesting thing is. at the moment there are so many vacant award places, usually unavailable instead. This could certainly be a great way to start traveling again since Singapore is an open destination for tourism, via the Vaccinated Travel Lane, and can be reached without restriction by Italian tourists.
Of course, we are not talking about a few points, but the reward is the kind that absolutely leaves a lasting impression, especially now that it can be linked to a second Singapore Airlines promotion that gives elite status without flying, simply by transferring points as in the example above.
In fact, with this promotion you will be able to earn qualifying miles in the Krisflyer program useful for obtaining or renewing status in the Asian airline's loyalty program.
To get to the Gold level, it is necessary to get 250k Krysflier points., enough to earn 50k qualifying miles, just enough to book the first-class ticket.
Important to remember that BEFORE transferring points you need to be sure that there are places to reserve.
