How Many Singapore Airlines Miles for Bangkok, Bali, and London: Award Chart and Destinations 2026

Three cities, three very different miles costs. A Saver economy ticket from Singapore to Bali runs 8,000 KrisFlyer miles. The same cabin to Bangkok runs 13,000. And Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer miles to London? 44,000 one-way. That 36,000-mile gap between a long weekend in Seminyak and a week in South Kensington is roughly what a mid-tier KrisFlyer credit card returns on a year of regular spend in Singapore.

Below: the focused breakdown for those three cities, then the full Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer award chart for every destination flown direct from SIN.

Bangkok and Bali: short-haul Saver awards

Both routes sit in Singapore Airlines' Southeast Asia award zone, but Bali is cheaper. A lot cheaper.

Estimated airport taxes are around $50 (Bangkok economy) and $45 (Bali economy), payable in cash. According to Singapore Airlines, no fuel surcharges apply on its own flights, so the cash component is mostly government taxes and airport fees.

The 5,000-mile difference in economy is the interesting one. Bali sits further from Singapore in actual flight time than Bangkok, yet costs less in miles. A zoning quirk worth exploring if your dates are flexible.

How many Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer miles to London

London Heathrow sits in the Europe zone, where rates jump sharply.

Estimated taxes are only about $65 for a one-way flight departing Singapore. However, if you are booking a return ticket or flying out of London, estimated taxes jump to about $250 in economy, $400 in business, and $500 in First, per Singapore Airlines' published award fees. London Heathrow's APD (Air Passenger Duty) is the reason these cash components are higher than most other Singapore Airlines routes on the return leg.

Where the value compounds is in the premium cabins. The 64,500-mile gap between Saver economy and Saver Business is where most KrisFlyer hoarders aim. Whether that gap is worth saving for instead of taking two economy trips is a personal call.

How the three compare

A few quick projections to put the numbers in context:

• A return Saver economy ticket to Bali costs 16,000 miles. Most Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer earners hit that within 12 months on a single co-branded card.
• A one-way Saver Business ticket to London (108,500 miles) costs more than a return Saver Business ticket to Bangkok (50,000 miles), with enough miles left to fly to Bali return in economy.
• KrisFlyer miles expire 36 months after earning. Because KrisFlyer operates on a hard expiry policy, meaning new spending does not extend or refresh your miles' validity, hoarding for a Suites redemption to London carries a real shelf-life cost.

Full Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Saver award chart

Every direct destination flown by Singapore Airlines from Changi, with one-way Saver miles by cabin and estimated economy-cabin taxes payable in cash. Sorted by region.

Southeast Asia (Saver, one-way from SIN)

Premium Economy is not published for Southeast Asia routes on Saver. KUL, CGK, DPS and PEN form the cheapest tier (8,000 miles), with BKK, MNL, SGN and HKT one tier up.

North Asia (Saver, one-way from SIN)

Three internal tiers here. Hong Kong and Taipei share the cheapest. Shanghai and Beijing sit in the middle. Tokyo, Osaka and Seoul cost identically in miles.

South Asia (Saver, one-way from SIN)

All three priced identically in miles, so the only differentiator is the cash tax component (Male slightly cheaper).

Oceania (Saver, one-way from SIN)

Perth is significantly cheaper than the east coast Australian cities, and Singapore Airlines does not publish a Saver Premium Economy rate for Perth.

Europe (Saver, one-way from SIN)

Every Singapore Airlines Europe destination prices identically in miles. The only variable is cash taxes, with London the most expensive (due to APD on the return flight) and Frankfurt or Zurich the cheapest. If you only care about getting to Europe, Frankfurt is the cheapest entry point in cash terms.

North America (Saver, one-way from SIN)

JFK is the most expensive single non-stop redemption Singapore Airlines publishes. LAX and SFO are priced identically. Worth noting: the SIN-JFK and SIN-EWR routes are operated as the world's longest commercial flights, and the JFK Suites cabin is the only A380 First-class option to North America from Singapore.

Middle East (Saver, one-way from SIN)

Identical miles cost. Doha slightly cheaper in cash taxes.

KrisFlyer Advantage award chart

Advantage awards cost more miles than Saver but have wider availability. Singapore Airlines does not publish a Premium Economy rate for the Advantage tier. One-way miles from SIN, all destinations:

Southeast Asia (Advantage, one-way from SIN)

North Asia (Advantage, one-way from SIN)

South Asia (Advantage, one-way from SIN)

Oceania (Advantage, one-way from SIN)

Europe (Advantage, one-way from SIN)

North America (Advantage, one-way from SIN)

Middle East (Advantage, one-way from SIN)

Across most routes, Advantage costs roughly 1.6x to 2x the Saver rate in economy and 1.7x in business. The data shows that for premium-cabin redemptions to Europe, the Advantage premium is steeper: 259,500 vs 148,000 miles for First class to London is a 75% mark-up over Saver.
