From September 2023, KrisFlyer members will earn 500 KrisFlyer miles per qualifying stay at more than 60 properties across TFE’s global network including A by Adina hotels, Adina Apartment Hotels, Vibe Hotels and The Savoy Hotel on Little Collins Melbourne, among others. Members can also redeem points on flights for Singapore Airlines and the Star Alliance network – which comprises some 25 partner carriers – dining, shopping and other experiences.

“We are always seeking new ways to provide members with enhanced benefits. 

“The ability to earn miles for stays across TFE Hotels’ vast network of properties across Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, will provide customers with an additional way to reach their redemption goals sooner.”

Meanwhile, TFE Hotels global marketing officer, Katia Giurtalis said the Sydney-based hotel group was excited to launch the partnership as travel continued its international comeback.

“This strategic global partnership not only gives TFE Hotels exposure to more than six million KrisFlyer members globally but rewards them for staying with us,” she stated.

Giurtalis also flagged Singapore Airlines’ growing Aussie network, which allows Australian travellers to connect through Changi onwards to Southeast Asia, North Asia, India, and Europe.

“We look forward to seeing the world open up with more international routes coming online for Aussie travellers and to KrisFlyer members earning air miles a little quicker with overnight stays with TFE in some of the world’s great gateway cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Munich and Frankfurt,” she said.
