Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

To maximize your chances of finding award availability with Singapore Airlines, book your flights for travel to Southeast Asia during the low season, specifically between mid-May and early June, focusing on routes like New York (JFK) to Singapore (SIN).

Sweet Spot

You can fly from New York (JFK) to Singapore (SIN) for just 10,000 miles in economy class using Singapore Airlines' Advantage program, while the typical cash price for this route can exceed $1,000.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Singapore (SIN) via Tokyo (NRT) instead of directly, as this can save you approximately 2,000 miles compared to booking the direct route.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for routes within the U.S., as they often charge a $55 fee for carry-on bags and a $65 fee for checked luggage, significantly increasing overall travel costs.
