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.
This month, there’s even a special offer, to celebrate Singapore’s 60th birthday. There are several opportunities to save miles on tickets in economy, premium economy, and business class, including some options 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 August 31, 2025, and for travel between September 1 and September 30, 2025.
While Spontaneous Escapes ordinarily offers a 30% discount on awards, for a very limited time, you can save 40%. If you book between August 15 and August 17, you save 40%, while if you book between August 18 and August 31, you save 30%.
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, and in some cases the sale only works in one direction of travel):
- Singapore to Bali, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Medan, and Surabaya, is available for 12,600-14,700 miles in business class
- Singapore to Bangkok, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Manila, and Phnom Penh, is available for 14,400-16,800 miles in business class
- Singapore to Hong Kong is available for 20,400-23,800 miles in business class
- Singapore to Perth is available for 24,300-28,350 miles in business class
- Singapore to Ahmedabad, Colombo, Dhaka, and Kathmandu, is available for 25,800-30,100 miles in business class
- New York to Frankfurt is available for 31,200-36,400 miles in premium economy
- Los Angeles to Tokyo is available for 43,800-51,100 miles in premium economy
- San Francisco to Singapore is available for 45,000-52,500 miles in premium economy
- New York and Newark to Singapore is available for 48,300-56,350 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, and in particular, there’s a big incentive to book in the first couple of days, so that you can unlock the 40% discount, rather than 30% discount.
Are there any KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes awards that you plan to take advantage of?
