'''KrisFlyer''' is the name given by [[Singapore Airlines]] to its [[frequent-flyer programme]] and airport lounges. The name is derived from the [[kris]] in the Singapore Airlines logo.

==KrisFlyer miles==
KrisFlyer miles can be earned and redeemed on Singapore Airlines own services as well as with Singapore Airlines' Low-cost subsidiary [[Scoot (Airline)|Scoot]] and KrisFlyer partners. Partners include all [[Star Alliance]] members, non-Star Alliance airline partners, and selected hotel chains as well as car-hire companies.<ref name="PPSPrivileges">{{cite web|url=http://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/ppsclub-krisflyer/EarnMiles_overview/ |title=Earn KrisFlyer miles |access-date=20 July 2011 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001110060100/http://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/ppsclub-krisflyer/EarnMiles_overview/ |archive-date=10 November 2000 }}</ref> KrisFlyer is divided into KrisFlyer, KrisFlyer Elite Silver and KrisFlyer Elite Gold, which correspond to Star Alliance [[Star Alliance#Frequent flyer programs, Star Alliance Silver and Gold status|Silver]] and [[Star Alliance#Star Alliance Gold|Gold]], respectively.

The 12-month period is predefined according to when a passenger initially applied for KrisFlyer membership, so travelling {{convert|25000|mi|km}} over a 12-month period may not qualify for Silver status unless it corresponds with the 12-month period assigned to them by Singapore Airlines.

Singapore Airlines flights in booking class G (group and promotional fares) earn no miles, while Singapore Airlines flights in booking classes V, Q, N and T (promotional fares) will receive between 10% and 50% of mileage<ref>{{cite web|title=Maximise your miles |url=http://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/ppsclub-krisflyer/KrisFlyer_maximisemiles/ |access-date=20 July 2011 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001110060100/http://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/ppsclub-krisflyer/KrisFlyer_maximisemiles/ |archive-date=10 November 2000 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Earn miles on Singapore Airlines and SilkAir |url=http://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/ppsclub-krisflyer/EarnMiles_SQMI/ |access-date=16 May 2013 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001110060100/http://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/ppsclub-krisflyer/EarnMiles_SQMI/ |archive-date=10 November 2000 }}</ref>
