According to the KrisFlyer website, I need 76k miles to fly to Europe on economy class, is this a fixed rate?

Are there flight exclusions? All flights are 76k miles? Would I need to use more miles or pay more due to hidden fees?
Sorry for the noob questions, first timer here!

Hi Anon,

1) Are there flight exclusions?

No, it's on a first come first served for Economy Saver Award Ticket as there's limited quantity per flight. Once it has been fully redeemed, you will be put on a waiting list.

For Economy Advantage Award Ticket, it's a guaranteed ticket as though you bought the ticket via cash. So plan and redeem your ticket in advance, advice to book 5-6 months in advance, earlier if you intend to travel during peak season.

2) All flights are 76k miles?

Don't quite understand your question. But I would assume that you're referring if all flights to any countries is at 76K miles. If that's what you're asking, no. Different countries different miles requirements.

3) Would I need to use more miles or pay more due to hidden fees?

No need to use more miles for any other fees. The only fees you need to pay is taxes and airport surcharges, which vary by which country you land/depart.

You can call SQ Hotline at 6223 8888 to know the taxes you need to pay, you can even ask them how many tickets are available in Economy Saver Award Ticket before you book, in case you want to book multiple tickets or you want to check if the dates you're traveling has tickets left for you to redeem.

That's what I did for my recent redemption. I hope my post has helped!

Just on the piece about flight exclusions - do note that redemption flights are based on specific booking classes which are subject to inventory control (basically airline will release more if they can't sell seats otherwise) So don't expect easy to redeem a flight at peak time (eg around christmas) - it isn't an explict exclusion as generally airlines would at least release a couple of redemption seats but given demand, it won't be easy to grab.

With regards to your questions~

1) Are there flight exclusions? -- No. It depends on whether there...
