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.

A short-haul KrisFlyer redemption to Phuket (HKT) at 13,000 miles one-way Economy. A direct beach route many Singaporeans use for long weekends and dive trips.
Cash economy fares to Phuket are low, so an economy award returns modest value per mile — many travellers pay cash here and save miles for longer-haul cabins. The redemption is most useful for peak holiday weeks (December, school breaks) when cash fares climb.
6 Phuket moments to consider booking ahead.
Old Phuket Town
Sino-Portuguese shophouses along Thalang and Dibuk roads, now cafes, galleries, and guesthouses; the Sunday walking street fills with stalls.
Phi Phi Islands day boat
Speedboat and ferry tours to Maya Bay and the surrounding limestone islands leave from Rassada Pier; book ahead in peak season.
Big Buddha viewpoint
45-metre marble-clad statue on Nakkerd Hill with a panorama over Chalong and the south coast.
Phang Nga Bay sea-kayak
Day trips north of the island paddle through sea caves and hongs (hidden lagoons) beneath the limestone karsts.
Thai cooking class
Half-day classes usually pair a market visit with four or five dishes; widely offered around Kata and Old Town.
Airport to the west-coast beaches
Patong, Kata and Karon are 30–45 minutes from the airport; ride-hailing apps and metered taxis are easier than the limited local songthaews.
Lock in the flight, then the bed.

Small things travellers like to know about Phuket.
- Phuket has no mass transit — pre-book airport transfers or use ride-hailing apps (Grab, Bolt); metered taxis are scarce and bargaining is common.
- The west-coast beaches (Patong, Kata, Karon) get the sunset; the east and south coasts are quieter and calmer for families.
- During the May–October monsoon, red flags mean dangerous rip currents — swim only where lifeguards are posted.
- Buy a tourist SIM (AIS or TrueMove) in the arrivals hall; island coverage is good and cheaper than roaming.
