Cents per mile = (round trip cash midpoint × 100) ÷ round trip miles required. cpm is invariant under the trip-type toggle — only the absolute miles, cash and savings amounts change. Advantage cpm is roughly half Saver because the miles cost roughly doubles for the same seat. Miles and tax estimates as of April 2026.

Travel tips

Small things travellers like to know about Hong Kong.

  • Buy an Octopus card at the airport — it works on the MTR, buses, trams, the Star Ferry, and at most shops and convenience stores.
  • The Airport Express is fastest to Central; free in-town check-in and a hotel shuttle bus are included with the ticket.
  • Hong Kong is dense and walkable, but the hills are steep — the Central–Mid-Levels escalator is a free way to climb between districts.
  • Most restaurants and shops take cards and mobile wallets, but small dai pai dong stalls and wet markets are cash-only.

Are Singapore Airlines miles the same as KrisFlyer miles?

For Singapore to Hong Kong, the Saver Award costs 15,500 miles Economy, 35,500 miles Business, and 47,500 miles First. KrisFlyer miles can also be redeemed on Star Alliance partner airlines and SIA's other partners, though partner award rates may differ from the SIA-operated rates shown above.

Is using KrisFlyer miles worth it for Singapore to Hong Kong?

Based on tracked cash ranges, Economy redemption shows 1.3¢/mile and Business shows 2.6¢/mile. As a reference, redemptions above 2¢/mile are commonly considered strong value, 1–2¢ mid-range, and below 1¢ lower value. The choice depends on your miles balance and current cash fares.

Economy or business class to Hong Kong — which is the better miles value?

Both cabins draw on the same KrisFlyer Saver chart, so the deciding factor is value per mile.

Business returns the higher cents-per-mile on this route, so it stretches each mile further; Economy asks for fewer miles and lower cash taxes if you are conserving a balance.

Approximately S$60 for Economy and S$90 for Business. Taxes are payable in cash regardless of cabin and may shift slightly with fuel surcharges and booking date.
