Can I clock miles for my KrisFlyer account when i am flying via JAL?

Is it possible for me to clock KrisFlyer Miles while flying JAL? Or is it a completely different rewards system altogether?

JAL is part of Oneworld alliance while SQ is under star alliance so u cant clock KF miles while flying JAL.

if u wanna clock KF miles while flying to japan, try ANA which is part of star alliance.

No you cant clock Krisflyer miles while flying JAL. The airlines uses a different rewards system

U cant clock to krisflyer because they are not mile partner and not same alliance.
but u can consider clock to alaska air . alaska air mile can redeem SQ flight. but do check your booking fare class whether eligible earning mile or not, different airiline have different earning rate.

Hi Deqi,

You can't, as the airlines belong to different alliances. Across the same alliance, you are generally allowed to credit miles between them. I.e. You could clock the miles earned on JAL flights to either JAL's own programme, or any programme from a member alliance (In this case, OneWorld). Likewise, ANA flights can be clocked to SQ's Krisflyer, or vice versa.

There are basially 3 major airline alliances which allow you to clock miles across partners

Star Alliance consisting of

  • Aegean Airlines

  • Air China

  • Air India

  • Air New Zealand

  • All Nippon Airways

  • Asiana Airlines

  • Austrian Airlines

  • Avianca

  • Brussels Airlines

  • Copa Airlines

  • Croatia Airlines

  • EgyptAir

  • Ethiopian Airlines

  • EVA Air

  • LOT

  • Polish Airlines

  • Shenzhen Airlines

  • Singapore Airlines

  • South African Airways

  • Swiss International Air Lines

  • TAP Air Portugal

  • Turkish Airlines

OneWorld consisting of

  • American Airlines

  • British Airways

  • Cathay Pacific

  • Qantas

  • Finnair

  • Iberia

  • Japan Airlines

  • LATAM

  • Malaysia Airlines

  • Qatar Airways

  • Royal Jordanian

  • S7 Airlines

  • SriLankan Airlines

SkyTeam consisting of

  • Aeroméxico

  • Air France

  • Delta Air Lines

  • Korean Air

  • Aeroflot

  • Aerolíneas Argentinas

  • Air Europa

  • Alitalia

  • China Airlines

  • China Eastern Airlines

  • Czech Airlines

  • Garuda Indonesia

  • Kenya Airways

  • KLM

  • Middle East Airlines

  • Saudia

  • TAROM

  • Vietnam Airlines

  • XiamenAir

There are also special arrangements between some airlines which may not be part of an alliance, or even belonging to different alliances, but that's a little out of the scope of this topic.
