Pay for any SQ flight with KrisFlyer miles!

[MAN Flyer]

While the pros won't use this, I think this is a very nice gesture for the less frequent flyers: your miles don't expire because you don't have enough to redeem for a ticket but you can just apply them to reduce the price for your next ticket. It's all about options and different scenarios and this is a nice addition which is meaningful.

I agree. It doesn't appeal to me but it will be handy for some people.

It's, in a way, a partial response of sorts also to that BBC episode...

I can assure you it's nothing to do with the BBC programme. This was being discussed at invitation only focus groups as far back as 2010 as I know a certain SQTalker who was there when they announced it. He was in the Hyatt last week when you came for a drink.

Oops.... in the rush to post the SQ message I didn't see this thread....

It would have been an interesting new feature for KrisFlyer, but the ridiculously high exchange rate is rendering this useless.
The value of KF miles is perhaps somewhere between Standard and Full rewards.

Over at HWZ, there are already certain use-cases that actually made this C+P more effective than using Miles alone. Personally, I think it does make sense for certain segments of people, especially holiday makers to popular destinations who will not have variation in their plans.

its good to get rid of some leftover mileage if you have some and have started crediting elsewhere
