What the KrisFlyer Year in Review Reveals
As 2025 winds down, many frequent flyers are turning to their KrisFlyer year-in-review reports to gauge progress. Singapore Airlines sent wrapped-up summaries to KrisFlyer members, highlighting how miles were earned and redeemed over the past 12 months. Whether you’re a casual traveler or a loyal executive member, understanding these insights can help you set smarter goals for the coming year.
Where to Find Your Personal Report
The report typically arrives via email with a subject like “Your KrisFlyer Story This Year.” If you’re unsure where to look, search your inbox for a KrisFlyer message with the year-earlier template. For some, the insights appear in the KrisFlyer dashboard under “Year in Review” or “Your KrisFlyer Story.” If the email misses your inbox, check spam or promotions folders and ensure your KrisFlyer profile has up-to-date contact details to avoid future misses.
What the Report Includes
Most year-in-review summaries cover:
- Total miles earned in 2025, including everyday flights, partners, and promotions
- Miles burned to upgrade, book premium cabins, or redeem partner awards
- Elite and tier progress, including any status boosts or changes
- Key redemptions and travel patterns, such as popular routes or destinations
These elements help you understand not just your activity, but where you optimized value and where you may have left miles on the table.
What Your Numbers Say About Your Travel Habits
A year-end snapshot can illuminate patterns: a spike in regional trips, a preference for partner awards, or a push toward premium-cabin experiences. If you noticed substantial mileage earned from promotions, you’re likely responsive to limited-time offers. If most redemptions were domestic or short-haul, you may want to diversify your route choices to maximize long-haul redemptions in the future.
Elite tier progress is another crucial reading. If you climbed to a higher tier or kept your status, reflect on the travel footprint that got you there. Even modest gains—like maintaining mid-tier status through careful booking—can compound value through lounge access, priority check-in, or bonus miles.
Strategies to Boost KrisFlyer Status in 2026
Armed with your 2025 data, you can craft a practical plan for 2026:
- Target high-value redemptions: Look for redemptions that preserve miles for future trips and maximize cabin experience.
- Mix earning channels: Combine flights with KrisFlyer partners, credit-card bonuses, and promotions to accelerate mile growth.
- Plan long-haul trips: Long-haul itineraries often yield more miles per journey and better redemption value for premium cabins.
- Watch expiration windows: Stay aware of mileage expiry rules and set reminders to book before expiry dates.
- Consolidate accounts if applicable: If you hold multiple KrisFlyer accounts (family or corporate), consider how transfers or pooling could optimize benefits.
Finally, keep an eye on airline program updates. 2025 brought shifts in routes, partners, and redemption economics; 2026 could introduce new earn-and-burn opportunities or changes to partner awards. Staying informed helps you adapt your plan quickly.
Practical Next Steps
Take these steps to turn insights into action:
- Open your KrisFlyer Year in Review and note the top earning and burning categories.
- Identify one or two high-impact changes, such as booking a premium-cabin redemption on a longer-haul route.
- Set quarterly mile goals for 2026 and align them with upcoming travel plans.
- Review partner options—airlines, hotels, and car rentals—to widen earning opportunities beyond Singapore Airlines flights.
Bottom Line
The KrisFlyer 2025 year-in-review isn’t just a recap; it’s a blueprint. By understanding where your miles came from and how they were spent, you can optimize value in the year ahead. The smart traveler uses these insights to diversify earning streams, pursue strategic redemptions, and keep status progression within reach for 2026.
