Singapore Airlines offers its KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes promo, whereby you can get significant savings on award tickets in select regions. This is a fantastic opportunity to save on award flights on one of the world’s best airlines.
There are several opportunities to save miles on tickets in economy, premium economy, and business class. Unfortunately for this list, there are no premium cabin options to or from North America, but there are still deals to be had in other regions. Let’s go over the details.

Book discounted Singapore Airlines awards
Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer program offers monthly “Spontaneous Escapes” deals, where there’s a list of flights that can be booked at a discount when redeeming miles.
Presumably Singapore Airlines is primarily discounting flights that aren’t anticipated to be full, and where there’s a lot of award availability. This can be a really useful promotion. One major restriction to note is that Spontaneous Escapes awards can’t be changed or canceled once booked (they don’t follow standard KrisFlyer policies), so you’ll only want to ticket these if you’re positive you’re traveling.
KrisFlyer has just published its latest Spontaneous Escapes list, which has a good number of destinations on it, all for travel on Singapore Airlines. This is valid for bookings through December 31, 2024, and for travel between January 1 and January 31, 2024.
I’d recommend checking out the full list, but just to give you a sense of some of the discounted awards that are available (pricing is one-way):
- Singapore to Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Surabaya, is available for 14,700 miles in business class
- Singapore to Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City is available for 16,800 miles in business class
- Singapore to Chengdu, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong, is available for 23,800 miles in business class
- Singapore to Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Beijing, Chennai, Colombo, Dhaka, Hyderabad, Male, and Shanghai, is available for 30,100 miles in business class
- Singapore to Cairns is available for 47,950 miles in business class
- Singapore to Brussels is available for 72,450 miles in business class
The restrictions for taking advantage of the offers vary by destination. Some destinations are restricted to specific flight numbers, and others are restricted to specific dates, but there’s great value to be had across the board.

Singapore Airlines makes most premium cabin award space available exclusively to members of its own KrisFlyer program, so many of these are flights that you couldn’t book with partner airline miles. However, some partners, including Air Canada Aeroplan, do increasingly have access to some long haul Singapore Airlines premium award space.
Bottom line
Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer has published its latest Spontaneous Escapes promotion. With this new list, you can save on business class, premium economy, and economy award redemptions. There are some good deals to be had, though unfortunately there are no premium cabin options to the United States.
Are there any KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes awards that you plan to take advantage of?
