KrisFlyer - Revised Logo & Program Changes
« Thread started onSep 29th, 2006, 10:21pm »
Just noticed it today when onto my KF account. The revised logo is all caps. So I guess SQ is definitely keeping the "SINGAPORE AIRLINES" font as it is for years to come.
Could there be new KF card designs coming?

Did they revise it to match the rise in some redemption levels? Looks like it will be mighty costly to get into the premium A380 and 773ER cabins via miles.

(I don't see the new logo when I log onto my account, though. Either I'm batty blind or it's because I'm not VVVIP SH, whatever 'SH' stand for. Maybe it's both. )

The link for the new upgrade award chart doesn't seem to be available.
What I want to know is whether this means that an upgrade for a A380/773ER flight will be double as well, e.g. 45,000 KF miles for LHR-SIN o/w Y to J becomes 90,000! KF awards are expensive enough already and if this change is made, I think it'd be time to seriously consider jumping to BD/LH

I assume so, given the introduction of unrestricted upgrade awards, and then the proviso that A380 and 773ER awards are all unrestricted awards.

When I read that A380 and 773ER awards are all unrestricted awards, I was clinging to a hope that it was talking specifically about redemption awards rather than all awards. However, I'd imagine that it's very likely to be the latter.
Does this mean that we'll have to start taking BCN-MXP-SIN (for example) rather than SIN-LHR so as to halve the cost of an upgrade ?
(This assumes of course that the A380 premium configuration won't be something amazing which will justify - mostly - the very high cost of the award.)

Is the PPS club logo (to be found when I click on "Complete Account Statement" after logging in) new or am I imaginging things ?

EEEEK!
I didn't see that.
Big thumb down for SQ!
We can probably expect some surcharge for commercial tickets to fly on A380 / B77W?

Okay... thinking into the future, when the B744s are long gone, and B777-200ER's SpaceBeds are 'the ones to avoid at all cost', this means we have to pay double the current price (miles wise) for all long hauls?

I think there's a fair chance partner FFPs will be affected by this change as well.

I really hope this is a temporary measure. Otherwise, there isn't much incentive for me -- a relatively low-mileage flyer -- to remain a KrisFlyer member.

Let's do something about it. We can't let SQ get away with it. The A380/77W rule is just unacceptable.

I've fired off an angry email to KrisFlyer. A letter will follow in a few days.
(Well, at least I can now see the new KrisFlyer logo. Doesn't bring up as fuzzy a feeling as before.)
