KrisFlyer for Students: Singapore Airlines Student Benefits Guide

Hey Singapore! Whether you’re heading overseas for study, internships, volunteering or just a cheeky gap year adventure, flying doesn’t have to be a boring, wallet-draining chore. 

With KrisFlyer for Students from Singapore Airlines, the airline we all know and love, your next journey could be smarter, lighter, and more rewarding than you ever imagined. 

What Is KrisFlyer for Students?

Think of it as a travel perks club designed just for students. If you’re currently enrolled in an eligible college or university, you can unlock a bunch of student-only travel benefits when flying with Singapore Airlines — and it’s all tied to the KrisFlyer loyalty programme. 

The best bit? Signing up is free, and once you’ve verified your student status, you’re officially in club territory. 

Student Travel Perks That Actually Matter

Here’s what you get and honestly, these benefits are pretty sweet for anyone who loves exploring:

🏷️ 10% Student Discount on Fares

Save up to 10% off eligible Singapore Airlines fares including Economy ticket types.

It’s a small-but-sweet saving that adds up when you’re flying long-haul or heading home for holiday breaks. 

🧳 Generous Checked Baggage Allowance

Whether you’re carting back textbooks, snacks, or laundry swaps from home:

• 30kg baggage allowance on most routes
• If flying to/ from the US or Canada, you get 2 pieces with weight limits 23kg each instead of a total weight cap, perfect for surfers, cyclists, or anyone who just has a lot of stuff. 

That means less stress at the check-in counter and more room for what matters (yes, even durians). 😄

🔁 One Free Flight Change

Plans change? Good coffee, better weather, or a last-minute internship offer.

With this student perk, you can choose one free date/flight change without rebooking fees, with any fare difference still payable.

You still pay any fare difference, but that extra flexibility is a lifesaver during busy university schedules. 

The Added Bonus: KrisFlyer Miles

Signing up as a KrisFlyer member for student perks also means you earn miles on your flights. Those miles can be used towards future flights, seat upgrades, and more. It’s like getting rewarded for exploring the world.

Miles earned don’t just vanish — you build them up and can redeem them down the road. So that trip home during CNY or a mini getaway after exams? You might just snag it with points.

Simple Steps to Get Singapore Airlines Student Discount

1. Join KrisFlyer: Create your free membership on the Singapore Airlines website. 
2. Verify Your Student Status: Use their verification system (usually via SheerID) to confirm you’re enrolled in a higher-education institution.
3. Browse Student Fares: Log in with your verified profile and always start your flight search from the student fares page.

That’s it — plug in your destination and go! 🌏
