End of FFP Partnership with Delta Air Lines - FAQs

 

 

1)  Why is the frequent flyer partnership with Delta Air Lines ending?

The changed business landscape has made it necessary for SIA and Delta Air Lines to re-align our respective frequent flyer programmes.

2)  Now that I cannot earn and redeem miles on Delta Air Lines, how will my membership benefits be affected?

Your benefits as a KrisFlyer member will not be affected. And as Singapore Airlines is a member of the Star Alliance, you will continue to enjoy many travel options in the Star Alliance network to the United States of America.

Currently, there are 26 airlines in the Star Alliance, as follows:
Adria Airways, Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Austrian, Blue1, bmi, Brussels Airlines, Croatia Airlines, EgyptAir, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, South African Airways, Spanair, SWISS International Airlines, TAP Portugal, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines, Shanghai Airlines, Continental Airlines, United Airlines, US Airways and Singapore Airlines.

1)      Will I still be able to earn KrisFlyer miles if my flight on Delta Air Lines is taken on 15 May 2010?

Miles are earned based on date of flight.   And as long as your flight on Delta Air Lines departs no later than 15 May 2010 (local time), you will earn KrisFlyer miles for a mileage-accruable flight. .

2)      I have a return ticket on Delta Air Lines and the first leg of the journey is on 14 May 2010, with the return leg on 16 May 2010. Will I earn miles for both legs of the journey?

Only the flight on 14 May 2010 will earn miles. The flight on 16 May 2010 will not earn miles as it is after the expiration of the frequent flyer partnership on 15 May 2010.

3)    What can I do if the KrisFlyer miles for my flight before 15 May 2010 are still not credited after 15 May 2010?

If the miles still have not been credited 8 weeks after your flight, you can still submit a retroactive mileage claim after 15 May 2010.  The claim has to be submitted within 6 months from the Delta Air Lines flight taken.

To submit a retroactive mileage claim, please download the Retroactive Mileage Claim form and fax the completed form to the number provided on the form.
