With Singapore Airlines and KrisFlyer’s family-geared programs, travelling with your family is now with such ease
More than just a holiday; travelling with family is an opportunity to create memories that last a lifetime. Whether it’s exploring new cultures, discovering breathtaking landscapes, or simply enjoying uninterrupted time together, these trips can strengthen bonds and bring a sense of adventure to every moment. With Singapore Airlines and the KrisFlyer program, these experiences become even more seamless and rewarding.
When it comes to choosing the perfect getaway, finding destinations that cater to the whole family is key. Stephanie Zubiri, a lifestyle journalist, host and mother, has been a long-time KrisFlyer member. She frequently takes her boys on trips to Cape Town with Singapore Airlines, which she considers the best route out of Manila. According to Zubiri, she enjoys the seamless convenience the airline offers passengers when planning flights. “It’s all so efficient. If I book an award ticket and purchase others, they’re able to put it all together. I’ve never had a problem booking tickets that we want on the dates we want, in the class we want. I also love that parents get to accumulate their children’s miles because we can use them on our trips,” Zubiri says.

Singapore Airlines ensures that the entire travel experience, from departure to arrival, is enjoyable for the whole group. With thoughtful services like in-flight entertainment for the young ones, spacious seating, and an attentive cabin crew, the journey itself becomes part of the adventure. It’s the little details that make flying with Singapore Airlines the preferred choice for families on the go.

Travelling with children requires a bit of extra planning, but with the right approach, trips can be smooth and hassle-free. One of the biggest advantages for KrisFlyer members, subject to membership tier and class of travel, is the access to Singapore Airlines' SilverKris Lounges. These provide a comfortable space to relax before boarding, with refreshments and quieter areas to keep the kids entertained.

Also, for a tip; “know when you’re going to fly out and take advantage of sales. I don't buy tickets that are not on sale. Buying tickets nine months or a year in advance also saves you a lot of money and headache,” she advises.
One of the standout benefits of being a KrisFlyer member is the wealth of rewards that families can enjoy. Accumulating miles through every flight opens up opportunities for seat upgrades, faster boarding, and in-flight services that add an extra level of comfort.
“Travel is about deep human connections and having these soulful experiences that are unique to a time, place, culture, and people,” she muses. For families looking to explore the world together, Singapore Airlines and KrisFlyer offer a gateway to extraordinary experiences. From beach escapes to city explorations, KrisFlyer provides families with benefits that elevate their journeys, allowing them to focus on what matters—making memories with the ones they love.
