Singapore Airlines has historically offered its KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes promo, whereby you can get significant savings on award tickets in select regions. During the pandemic this promotion has largely been paused, but it has recently been brought back. This is getting especially useful, with Singapore having largely eased travel restrictions for vaccinated visitors.
There are all kinds of opportunities to save miles on tickets in economy, premium economy, and business class, so let’s go over those details.
In this post:
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, 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 fair number of destinations on it, all for travel on Singapore Airlines. This is valid for bookings through June 30, 2022, and for travel between July 1 and July 31, 2022. Not surprisingly this isn’t the most exciting list, given that July is a very busy month for travel.
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 Da Nang, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City is available for 15,050 miles in business class
- Singapore to New York and Newark is available for 51,100 miles in premium economy
- Singapore to Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, and New Delhi is available for 27,300 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.

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 the options to & from North America are fairly limited this time around, with the exception of premium economy on the world’s longest flights.
Are there any KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes awards that you plan to take advantage of?
Hmmmm....
