ADVICE

Use Singapore's Complimentary Stopovers

  • When booking Singapore Airlines award travel, add a complimentary stopover via the booking tools if you qualify for the Advantage or Saver round-trip rules.
  • Use 'Add stopovers' to pick the stopover city and date, and book Advantage if your itinerary is one-way plus a separate return.
INSIGHT

Fifth-Freedom Routes Expand Stopover Options

  • Singapore's stopover isn't limited to Singapore; you can use fifth-freedom routings to stop in places like Frankfurt or Tokyo on specific itineraries.
  • This opens creative multi-city routes on awards without paying extra for separate tickets.
ADVICE

Search Tools For Singapore Award Space

  • For hard-to-find Singapore Airlines business saver space, use tools like roam.travel and check the Singapore KrisFlyer calendar results.
  • Avoid relying on seats.aero for Singapore; Roam and manual calendar searches show available saver dates clearly.
