KrisFlyer - Singapore Airlines
 

Hi,

Sorry if this is in the wrong place :)

I am thinking of becoming a member of KrisFlyer. I will be traveling allot between the United Kingdom and Australia next year so i thought this would benefit me. I have a flight booked for December, if i become a member now can i use the miles for the flight i have already booked on my new account? I cant find what i am looking for on the website.

Thanks allot

You haven't made the flight yet have you. By that logic couldn't any fool book flights, use the mileage and then cancel the flights?

The airmiles are only credited to your account AFTER you have completed the flight, regardless of when you buy your ticket.

As parabellum says, as long as you are a member at the time you fly it is irrelevant when you became a member. You simply show your membership card at check-in and the miles will be credited to your account. With some airlines you can associate an existing booking with a new membership online.

Programmes are supposed to recognise people who have joined a second time (generally after a number of years gap) and so transfer the miles to the new/active account.
From experience, miles are generally awarded within 2 working days of taking each leg of a journey. Plus, I know from experience that if you pay for a flight, but don't take it (or cancel it) you don't get the miles!

P.S. I did SIN-LHR yesterday on SQ and the service was impeccable. Puts all European & North American airlines in the shade and positively burries some supposedly 'full service' carriers!

Thanks guys,

I didnt know as i didnt provide membership number when i made the reservation.

You say present my card at check-in, just looking at the site they dont issue cards until you start earning miles. I wont earn any before i go. Would it be ok to give a membership number at check-in?

Thanks

You might be able to add your FF# to the booking via the "my bookings" tab on the airline's website.

Giving your number at check in should be fine too.
