OVERVIEW
When will the changes take effect ?
The changes will take effect from 1 December 2009.

What are the changes from 1 December 2009 ?
Presently, one-way award travel is only available on Singapore Airlines or Silkair flights. From 1 December 09, you will be able to redeem your miles for a one-way award ticket on selected Star Alliance partners and Mexicana. 
The award charts for partner airlines have been revamped; please download the new charts loaded on this webpage for more information.

What are the benefits of redeeming one-way awards ?
There will be greater flexibility to cater to your travel needs. For example :

  • You can redeem your miles for one leg of your journey first, even if you are unsure of your other leg of the journey. This will save you fees which would have been levied for changes which may become necessary with a round-trip. 
  • You can mix your redemption award with a purchased ticket.
  • You can redeem your miles for only the leg of the award travel with a seat available first.  With the current round-trip restriction, you can only get your award ticket if  both legs of the travel are confirmed.
