What is the Singapore Airlines student discount?
Singapore Airlines (SQ) rewards verified students with a dedicated fare family that strips 10% off the base price and bundles flexibility and extra baggage, an attractive combination for GCC/MENA and South-Asian students who often face long-haul relocations for study. The offer spans Economy, selected Premium Economy, and (on certain routes) Business Class, and is valid on SQ-operated flights issued on an SQ (618-) ticket stock.
Eligibility & verification
- Join KrisFlyer (free).
- Verify your status via SheerID with up to three documents (student ID, acceptance or enrolment letter, transcript dated within six months). Approval usually lands within 48 hours.
- Book through the Student Privileges portal while logged in, look for the graduation-cap icon next to eligible fares.
Tip: If your institution isn’t on SheerID’s list, you can still purchase student tickets at a local SQ office by presenting hard-copy proof.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How do I verify my student status, and how long does it last?
Sign up for KrisFlyer, upload up to three enrolment documents on SQ’s student portal, and wait ~24–72 hours. Verification usually stays valid for 12 months, after which you re-verify.
What exactly is the discount, and how flexible is it?
It’s typically 10% off Economy and selected Premium Economy fares (and sometimes Business). You get one complimentary change; if the new flight costs more, you just pay the fare difference.
How much baggage do I get?
Economy/Premium Economy: 3×23 kg to the US/Canada or 40 kg elsewhere. Business: 3×32 kg to the US/Canada or 50 kg elsewhere. Usual oversized rules still apply – pack smart.
My university isn’t recognized – am I stuck?
No. Contact SQ via the portal help link or visit a local office with proof (ID, enrolment letter, transcript). They can manually validate and issue the student fare.
Do student fares still earn miles and perks?
Yes. Miles post based on the booking class, and standard KrisFlyer perks (like inflight Wi‑Fi for members) still apply.
