Singapore June School Holidays: Cheapest Economy/Business Class flights that you can still book with Cash or Miles

Just like that, Q1 2023 is almost over.

If you are travelling with kids, you probably should have booked your 2023 June Holidays trip by the end of last year. However, if you have not, there are still some good deals for you to consider!

Cheap PAID flights

Remember to check shopping portals like ShopBack or Top Cashback to see if you can receive any additional cashback for bookings on these airlines.

Economy Class

Take note that low-cost carriers charge additional fees for checked baggage (if required).

Business Class

Take note that ZIPAIR charges additional fees for checked baggage (if required).

Cheap AWARD flights

There are not many good award flight redemptions left during this period but a few gems are still available. Grab them while you still can!

As a refresher, here are the Frequent Flyer Programs that you can transfer miles to, with Singapore credit cards:

Economy Class

If the destinations or Frequent Flyer Programs below do not suit your preference, consider waiting for Singapore Airlines Krisflyer’s Spontaneous Escapes deal to be released around mid-May 2023. However, I wouldn’t expect to find any popular destinations to be included.

Business Class

There are limited award seats available during this peak period. If you find a preferred date/destination, I highly recommend that you book it ASAP!
