There is no need to envy those passengers seated at the front of the plane, enjoying better food than yours and drinking nice champagne. There is a way to travel first and business class at a fraction of the price - which is using miles! Besides butt-in-seat miles, there are other more economical and faster way to earn miles. One of which is through credit cards. Once you get the right credit cards and choose the right frequent flyer program to credit these miles, you are on the right track to book your dream flight.
In this post, I am focusing on the best credit cards for generating miles in Singapore. On the side track, I will be explaining which frequent flyer program you should credit these miles into.
(In 2015, I had made similar post. This is the updated and cleaner version.)

This is insane! Singapore Airlines is offering a round trip to the US for less than S$1000 per person. [min. 2-to-go] I hardly see this price for their Europe destination even if its on promotion. Act fast before the dates get limited. Click on to find out more details.
Flight Review: Singapore Airlines New Long Haul Economy Class
SQ327 MUC-SIN Boeing 777-300ER Singapore Airlines has recently introduced their new seat products for all cabin classes. If you wish to fly more comfortably in the economy class, you got to be tactical when you are picking your flight since different modesl have different types of seat product. For Singapore Airlines, their new seat products are progressively introduced to their Boeing 777-300ER (which typically operate on long haul flights). Their new Airbus A350 fleet will carry the latest seat product as well. In this post, I will give you a rough idea on how is it like flying on a long haul flight with SQ new economy class. Additionally, if you are interested to try out their new economy class, do check out the last section in this post as I will be teaching you how to pick a flight that carry this new seat product. Alaska Miles Promotion: Up to 40% Bonus on Purchased Miles. Why You Should Consider Buying Them?24/2/2016
Besides generating miles through credit cards, purchasing the right miles at the right time is an alternative to fly premium cabins at a fraction of the price. From now to March 31, Alaska Mileage Plan is offering up to 40% bonus on the miles you purchase. Taking advantage of this promotion, you may redeem round-trip business class on Cathay Pacific costing around S$1450* for Intra-Asia or around S$3140 for Asia-North America.
For those of you who are hunting for good fares to Europe, here is a good news. Oman Air promotion is back again! Oman Air promotional fares are unbeatable. Although the fares now are slightly higher than their previous promotion, I have yet to see any other airlines offering such low fares to Europe destinations before.
If you are skeptical about Oman Air, I am quite confident that you will be convinced once you have seen their seat product. Check out this post to find out more.
Flight Review: British Airways, World Traveller (Economy Class)
BA 11 London Heathrow To Singapore Airbus A380 Since the hard products in the cabin are generally similar across the airlines, what actually makes a flight different is the way the cabin crew deliver their service. When you are on-board British Airways, do expect to see a laid-back culture in general. You may find them talking to you in a causal tone. This, however, does not necessarily means a bad service. If you have been flying with Asian/Middle East airlines all the while, you may probably find it odd initially. When I was flying out of Singapore, the crew working in my cabin were lovely and friendly actually. However, on this flight when I was flying out of London, the service was the worst I have ever experienced. The attitude that the crew presented has irked me a lot. There were several occasion which I find them very rude.
We have been seeing a lot of facebook post talking about how one managed to do a Europe holiday on a great budget. Frankly speaking, I do not think that is hard to achieve with the help of Airbnb and good flight deals. If you are intending to have some holiday trips this year, why not plan it now?
Just today, Qatar Airways has published a lot of great promotional fares and I think it is worth sharing. You will be able to find a lot of European destinations that are costing slightly more than S$900. For example, a round trip to Barcelona is only costing S$905
Flight Review: Singapore Airlines, Premium Economy Class
SQ 327 Munich To Singapore Boeing 777-300ER What are your thoughts on Premium Economy Class? Would you pay double the price to travel more comfortably? While the Economy Class seat products across all airlines look somewhat similar, I think that the Premium Economy Class products differs from one airline to another. Some products may look very much similar to the economy class, others appear very differently. I think that Singapore Airlines has developed an unique Premium Economy Class. Not only it looks different from other cabin classes, it can be differentiated from its competitors, just like how unique their business class are.
With only 20k Virgin America miles. you can redeem a Singapore Airlines economy class return ticket from Singapore to Sydney! All you need to do is to host a place and you will receive 20k miles*. Otherwise, you can earn 1 mile per US$1 spending at Airbnb. First time bookers will receive 1,500 miles and US$20 travel credit on top.

Get ready to pack your bags guys. You will be so ready to travel when you check this out. If you only have S$700 to spend for flight tickets and want to fly on a non-budget airlines, which routes and airlines can you think off? Some will probably say Tokyo on JAL/ANA/SQ or Korea on SQ/Korean air/Asiana and others may say Dubai on SQ/Emirates.
With less than S$700, Oman Air can brings you all the way to Europe. I am not kidding at all. This is the best rates I have ever seen. I believe most will be skeptical about Oman Air as we hardly hear anything about them. If you look through their main website and google on them, you will be convince that they are not shabby at all! They have zero accident record, economy class that looks better than some European Airlines and business class that almost looks like first class! |
