Singapore KrisFlyer First Class LAX-SIN opens at 471.5K miles in October
As of May 20, 2026, three first class seats appeared on Singapore Airlines' flagship 777 service from Los Angeles to Singapore for October 15, priced at 471,500 KrisFlyer miles each.
On May 20, 2026, seats.aero observed three first class seats on Singapore Airlines flight SQ 011 departing Los Angeles (LAX) on October 15, 2026, available for 471,500 Singapore KrisFlyer miles per person. The estimated cash equivalent of this redemption is approximately $12,000 per seat, yielding a value of 2.5 cents per mile on a premium-cabin redemption to one of Asia's busiest hubs.
This price point matters for first class redemptions to Asia. Singapore Airlines' official award chart lists first class awards from North America to Singapore and Southeast Asia at the top tier: typically 110,000 miles for saver-level one-way in first, or higher in peak periods. A 471,500-mile redemption reflects a multi-leg or complex routing that delivers first class across the entire journey, likely with a stopover or connection through Singapore to another Asian gateway. At 2.5 cents per mile, this sits in the sweet spot for business and first class transfers when compared to the cash fares airlines publish for long-haul premium cabins.
First class availability on the Singapore Airlines 777 between the US West Coast and Singapore is sporadic. The aircraft itself is configured with 12 first class suites, making each departure's inventory tight. October 2026 places this redemption six months forward, which means award seats on this route may firm up or vanish as the date approaches and closer-in availability opens.
