Still a Student? Here’s How to Get Student Discounts on Singapore Airlines Tickets!
For students who want to fly on one of the best carriers in the world, Singapore Airlines (SIA), one NUS student shared over TikTok how she was able to get a sizable discount, as well as an additional baggage allowance.
“Reply to @eeeeeeknnn thanku for the tip!! 🥺 i also decided to fly to sf then to vancouver cos its much cheaper 😩 #tiktoksg #flightticket #exchange,” wrote @lingdingdOng in the caption of a June 2 TikTok that went viral.
Almost 200,000 people have now seen the video.
“So SQ student price really worked… I got a much cheaper price and extra baggage,” she wrote.
The video showed her rejoicing, as well as a pan of the screen that showed her flight ticket had been confirmed.
The flight tickets had originally been priced at $1,172.80 but the TikToker was able to get them for $966.80, a discount of over $200.
In addition, she got 23 kg more of extra baggage for free due to the SQ student price.
And she graciously responded in another TikTok to a commenter who asked her how she did it.

First, she googled “Singapore airlines student price.”
When she saw a link that had “Student Privileges,” she clicked on it, and it showed all the perks of being a verified student on SQ.
These include savings on airfare, baggage allowance and complimentary booking change.
A student wishing to be verified should follow a three-step process:
1) Join KrisFlyer.
2) Verify their student status via clicking on the verification button on the page.

3) Make a booking (carefully, as she herself made a mistake.)
The verification process asks Singapore students to indicate what college or university they attend.
Students from the following countries may also avail of the discount: Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, South Korea, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Türkiye, United Kingdom and the United States of America.
After choosing their school, they are asked to log in.
Every student will be asked to get verified yearly. /TISG
