Singapore KrisFlyer First Class to Asia and Europe opens in December 2026
As of July 23, 2026, Singapore KrisFlyer had First Class award availability from both US coasts to Tokyo, Singapore, and Frankfurt in December, with redemptions ranging from 344,000 to 503,000 miles.
Singapore KrisFlyer's First Class redemptions to Asia and Europe opened across multiple gateways for December 2026 travel. The airline's flagship 777 First Class product, with its onboard bar and shower spa, priced efficiently on select routes.
The snapshot
| Route | Date | Points | Taxes & fees | Est. cash | cpp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JFK-SIN | 2026-12-18 | 503,000 | not reported | $12,000 | 2.4 |
| LAX-NRT | 2026-12-18 | 449,000 | not reported | $14,000 | 3.1 |
| JFK-FRA | 2026-12-19 | 344,000 | not reported | $8,000 | 2.3 |
These rates align with Singapore KrisFlyer's First Class award chart for long-haul routings, with the LAX-NRT redemption delivering 3.1 cents per mile against its estimated cash value.
Why it's worth it
The LAX-NRT redemption at 449,000 miles and 3.1 cpp stands out as the cluster's strongest value proposition, especially for West Coast travelers seeking Singapore's 777 First Class experience on a shorter-haul Asia leg. The Frankfurt redemption from New York at 344,000 miles offers the lowest entry point to Singapore's First Class cabin, making it accessible to transferring partners with moderate balance sheets. First Class inventory on these routes typically clears within days of opening; the presence of two seats per date across all three routings suggests a meaningful allocation window.
How to book
Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, Citi ThankYou Points, and Capital One Miles all transfer to Singapore KrisFlyer. Award bookings must be confirmed directly with Singapore Airlines by phone; the program does not allow online First Class redemption without agent assistance.
