Singapore Airlines Mastercard promotion, ends 23 July 2018

Singapore Airlines is now running a Mastercard promotion to almost all its destinations. Promo fares are available across all classes – Economy, Premium Economy and Business.

The sale period though is a little confusing. Business and Premium Economy sale ends 23 July 2018, while Economy class fares are available through 13 July 2018.

For those who want to splurge a little, the business class fares seem rather reasonable. Fares begin from S$648 (two to go, Kuala Lumpur), and the most expensive being S$7,188 (New York JFK).

Return fares below:

Destinations Economy  (S$) Premium Economy (S$) Business (S$)
Bangkok 248

One call out though: for those planning a trip to New York City later this year, two-to-go Premium Economy fares start at S$1,988. Good deal if you ask me. You will get 20,492 miles, plus if you charge that to DBS Altitude you will get 5,955 miles, for a total of 26,447. That’s enough miles for a return trip to Bangkok.

If you have got some money to burn to pamper yourself, I personally think that the Hong Kong deal is the best: two-to-go fares at S$1,588 per pax, and plus you get 3,970 miles on KrisFlyer for the trip. Charge that amount to your DBS Altitude card and you will get another 4,754 miles, for a total of 8,724 miles.

Not too shabby, if you have that kind of money. Book now at Singaporeair.com.

The good news is that the lucky draw is open to customers who booked through any booking channel, whether they do on Cathay Pacific’s website, mobile app or through a travel agent. And also, looking at the T&Cs there doesn’t seem to be a restriction on the travel dates.

Don’t forget to check out Cathay Pacific’s lounges in Hong Kong!

The top prize of 300,000 miles is good for a round trip first class ticket to US or Canada, or six round trip tickets in business class to Hong Kong. That’s enough Hong Kong trips to get you sick and tired of wanton noodles and dim sum.
