Does any one know how many Kris flyer points would be needed to book 2 adult and 3 children return flights on Singapore Air to Phuket ? I heard there ws an extra discount if booking online (up to 15% fewer points ?)

Thanks

(PS This is my first ever post)

Welcome to AFF

Have you looked in the Krisflyer web site ?

Have a look in http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/comm...nes-krisflyer/

Welcome to AFF.

Assuming the children are over 2 years of age and flying from the East Coast (cheaper from Perth) it would be 46,750 KrisFlyer miles (55,000 miles before 15% online booking discount) per person.

So a total of 233,750 KrisFlyer miles for the family of 5.

Welcome to AFF, AdamB.

The SQ website has a redemption calculator here:

Singapore Airlines&

Yes, there is a 15% discount on the miles required if booked online.
(The redemption calculator gives you the miles required before the discount)

Don't forget to add the hefty taxes and surcharges, which have to be paid in cash. (Can't use miles/points like QF)

Unfortunately, the taxes/ charges are rather high!

Though for J travel, as it is only 50% more than Y, it is still a very good redemption for the destinations that Saver J's can be taken too.
However family travel is harder as many destinations are limyted to 2 J Savers per flight. Though some Asian detinations offer 4.

Is there a website or page somewhere showing taxes / charges for star alliance airlines. I would like to know the difference between SQ and NZ.

I think you may have trouble finding such a site. Every destination would involve different taxes and surcharges which could change regularly.
