Krisflyer Saver: Cost you lesser miles but availability is limited. Definitely will tio waitlist if the route is popular. Your travel plans have to be very flexible. May not necessary get the dates you want

Advantage: Cost more but almost certainly have availability for the dates you want.

To summarise, Advantage is paying more to secure the seat early and for the dates you want and have peace of mind. Saver is paying less and half of the time, pray hard you will get the seat you want at your desired dates.

Hi there!

If you redeem flight tickets, you will often find that there are two rates to compare. For example a recent flight slection I made:

You can see that the Advantage price is almost 2x more than the Saver rates.

Business Saver or Advantage:
These are the 2 rates for redeeming flights via miles on the Krisflyer website.

As the name suggests, Saver flights cost less in miles, but they're limited in availability. You can refer to this whole chart which gets updated occasionally.
If you want more options, you'll need to spend almost double the miles for Advantage.
All the information is readily available on the KrisFlyer redemption charts.

More details:

• A round-trip award ticket requires twice the number of KrisFlyer miles shown on this award chart.

• SilkAir redemptions are only available at Saver award levels.
