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, including for travel to and from North America. 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 January 31, 2025, and for travel between February 1 and February 28, 2025.
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, Jakarta, and Kuala Lumpur, is available for 14,700 miles in business class
- Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City and Manila is available for 16,800 miles in business class
- Singapore to Guangzhou and Hong Kong is available for 23,800 miles in business class
- Singapore to Perth is available for 28,350 miles in business class
- Singapore to Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Beijing, Chennai, Dhaka, Hyderabad, Male, Mumbai, and Shanghai, is available for 30,100 miles in business class
- Singapore to Cairns and Melbourne is available for 47,950 miles in business class
- Singapore to Brussels and Frankfurt is available for 72,450 miles in business class
- Frankfurt to New York is available for 56,700 miles in business class
- Frankfurt to New York is available for 36,400 miles in premium economy
- Singapore to San Francisco is available for 52,500 miles in premium economy
- Singapore to New York is available for 56,350 miles in premium economy
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, including for business class and premium economy on flights to the United States (both from Asia and Europe).
Are there any KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes awards that you plan to take advantage of?
Where did you get the list from in this article? It does not seem to match up to the table on Singapore's website. E.g. you list Singapore to Melbourne, but only MEL-SIN is available on the website. Cairns seems to be the only Australian city that is available in both directions. Would love to know if I am missing something!
I think Ben always quotes the routes involved in one direction (from Singapore in these cases) regardless of whether one or both directions are available in the sale. It's not unusual for the promo prices SQ offers to be available in only one direction on some routes, or for the number of flight numbers to which they apply, and blackout dates to vary between directions of travel. Is he being precisely accurate, no; is it...

Gotcha thank you for the information. Was hoping I was missing some secret extra table, but that is understandable.
