Dear Mr MAN Flyer
Revision of Redemption Award and Upgrade Award Charts, including Extension of Saver Award for First and Business Class to More Flights
Thank you for your continued support for Singapore Airlines. In our regular review to improve the KrisFlyer programme, we will be making revisions to the Singapore Airlines and SilkAir Award and Upgrade Award charts. We will also be extending Saver Award for First and Business Class to more flights as part of this upcoming revision.
The changes to the Singapore Airlines and SilkAir Award and Upgrade Award charts will include adjustments to Saver, Standard and Full Award levels in selected cabin classes. Some destinations will be re-designated to different zones. These changes will be effective for redemption bookings from 1 March 2012 for flights departing 1 April 2012 onwards.
For more details, please refer to the Revised Singapore Airlines and SilkAir Award and Upgrade Award Chart and Revised Star Alliance Award and Upgrade Award Charts.
We appreciate your invaluable feedback and are pleased to announce that we will also be enhancing our seat award redemption offerings. Currently Saver Award is only available for selected First and Business Class flights. With this improvement, you will be able to redeem Saver Award for First and Business Class on most flights, including First and Business Class on our B777-300ER flights; and Business Class on our A380 and A340-500 flights. This will be available for redemption bookings from 8 March 2012, for flights departing 1 April 2012 onwards.
To find out more, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions below.
We hope that you will continue to enjoy the benefits of the KrisFlyer programme. I would like to thank you once again for your support for Singapore Airlines and we look forward to welcoming you onboard our flight again soon.
Yours Sincerely,
Shirlene Teo

They pushed the *A saver awards radically up (by as much as a third in some destinations) to match SQ awards for saver. So now those of us who are KF are penalized for taking non-SQ flights. One can say that KF members are "incentivised" to spend our KF miles with SQ.
THIS IS SO BAD.

Why bad? Just use *A to book on SQ.
I just booked:
MXP-SIN-HKG
with BMI Miles Plus Cash.
18,750 miles and 600 SGD for cash and taxes.
Business Class. Stop-Over in SIN.
LIKE :-)
PS: No First inventory open yet... Might only happen in April...

As an example, it used to cost 120K to London on LH (which has an ok J), it will now cost 160K. As you correctly stated, it is cheaper on SQ metal, but I still need to spend 136K (after 15% discount) on saver (assuming they have seats!). That's 16K more miles, equivalent to more than 1 return trip to London.
To me it's like 10-15 years ago, when Malaysia increased their import duty on foreign cars to promote Proton. ( Sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone here, but I can't find another better example).
I stand corrected.

You can purchase BMI miles for about 0.02 SGD per mile - where is your problem?
I have a question for you - when you use BMI miles for redemption, how much do you have to pay in addition for fuel and airport taxes? How do they compare with SQ's?
