Scoot, TigerAir to join Singapore Airlines' KrisFlyer
Scoot and Tigerair will join Singapore Airlines' KrisFlyer frequent flyer scheme, allowing KrisFlyer miles to be earned and burned on both low-cost airlines.
From April 2015 travellers will be able to trade their KrisFlyer Miles "for vouchers to travel on Scoot and Tigerair flights," according to Singapore Airlines.
By year's end passengers on Scoot and Tigerair will also be able to earn KrisFlyer Miles, although this is expected to be offered as a cost-extra fare option similar to the approach taken by Jetstar with its Qantas points-earning Jetstar Plus and Max fare bundles.
Singapore Airlines has not detailed how many KrisFlyer Miles it'll take to book a seat on Scoot or Tigerair, let alone what the earning rates on those airlines will be.
Scoot has established a foothold in the Australian market with flights from Sydney, Perth and the Gold Coast, and will add Melbourne to its network in November.
Although the airline's ScootBiz cabin (above) is more akin to premium economy than to conventional business class, many business travellers on a budget – especially the self-employed – consider it a cost-effective way to jet to Singapore.
Scoot will take delivery of its first new Boeing 787 this month and begin Perth-Singapore flights on the Dreamliner from February 5, with its other Australian destinations being upgraded to the Boeing 787 later this year.

With their network expanding and SQ is intending to dump some of its unprofitable routes to the low cost off-shoot, it is reasonable to see finally they have listened and Krisflyer miles can soon be earned and burnt on Scoot and Tigerair.
I am sure this will increase the convenience of frequent flyers who fly SQ often, and further increase the attraciveness of the scheme to budget travellers.
