Heads up, Marriott Bonvoy loyalists! There's a cool opportunity to leverage your hotel status for some serious airline perks. You can now status match your Marriott elite status to Singapore Airlines' KrisFlyer program. Why is this a big deal? KrisFlyer unlocks Star Alliance Gold status. Star Alliance Gold is the sweet spot in airline alliances. It grants you perks like lounge access, priority check-in, extra baggage allowance, and priority boarding when flying on any Star Alliance carrier (think United, Lufthansa, Air Canada, and many more). The best part? After matching your Marriott status, you only need to take four eligible Singapore Airlines or Scoot flights within six months to lock in KrisFlyer Elite Gold (Star Alliance Gold) status. It's a shortcut to airline elite status that could significantly enhance your travel experience, especially if you frequently fly Star Alliance.
