Pelago has reduced its discount for Singapore Airlines passengers from 10% to 7%, effective 29 April to 31 December 2026. The maximum discount remains capped at S$50, meaning customers now need to spend up to S$714 (previously S$500) to fully utilise the cap. This change slightly lowers the value of bookings, especially for those stacking discounts with bonus miles via Kris+.

All other terms remain unchanged. The discount can still be used up to three times per Passenger Name Record (PNR), applies to both award and paid tickets, and must be used before the last flight in the booking (though the activity itself can occur later). It is also limited to activities in the destination or layover countries listed in the PNR, despite some ambiguity in updated terms. The discount only works for confirmed bookings and excludes certain items.

Pelago offers a wide range of travel-related products, including tours, attractions, transport, and experiences. To redeem the discount, users must input their six-character PNR and last name at checkout under the airline promo section.

Historically, the Pelago-SIA partnership has seen declining benefits. The discount started at 30% (capped at S$35) in 2023, before being reduced to a S$10 cap and later adjusted to 10% with a S$50 cap in 2024. The latest cut to 7% continues this downward trend.

There is no change for Scoot passengers, who still receive a 20% discount capped at S$15, usable once per PNR.

Despite the reduction, Pelago’s PNR discount remains the only promo code compatible with Kris+, making it essential for travellers seeking to stack savings with mileage rewards.
