There are several ways to collect milesthis is:

Every time you fly, you can collect miles entering a number membership frequent flyers moment reservation flight ticket.

I already had time quote even if you can get miles from partner airlines.

For example in my case, because I have a Krisflyer account who is a member of the Star Alliance – when I fly with All Nippon Airlines (for example) – then so am I can claim miles on a Krisflyer account from this flight

It’s the same if I fly with KLM, miles I can credit my GarudaMiles account for the flight because both are SkyTeam members.

Tips: In order to accumulate miles quickly, it is better to communicate your membership number at the check-in counter before the flight, because if you use the partner airlines’ claim miles function via the app, it usually takes a long time: it takes 4-6 weeks to earn miles.

Singapore Airlines has an app called Chris+ which offers attractive promotions, and actually converts miles better than with a credit card.
