Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer program offers monthly “Spontaneous Escapes” deals, where they constantly have a list of flights that can be booked at a discount when redeeming miles.
Presumably they’re primarily discounting flights that they don’t anticipate being full, and where there’s a lot of award availability. This can be a really useful promotion.
KrisFlyer has just published their latest Spontaneous Escapes list, which has dozens of destinations on it, between the Singapore Airlines and SilkAir route networks.
This is valid for bookings through August 31, 2019, and for travel between September 1 and September 30, 2019.
This time around we’re seeing all kinds of discounted awards within Asia, as well as to Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and the Middle East.
For example, you can save 30% on KrisFlyer business class awards from Singapore to Johannesburg, bringing the cost down to an incredible 34,300 miles one-way.
Similarly, you can save 30% on KrisFlyer business class awards from Singapore to Brisbane, Canberra, and Christchurch, bringing the cost down to 43,400 miles one-way.
There are many other city pairs, so take a look at the full list for all the details.
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.
With the new list, there are discounted awards in business class, premium economy, and economy. The discounts vary by route, and in some cases offer up to 50% off.
Singapore Airlines business class
If you’re interested in booking one of these flights but don’t have KrisFlyer miles, the good news is that KrisFlyer is transfer partners with Amex Membership Rewards, Capital One, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Citi ThankYou, so there are lots of easy ways to earn points that can be redeemed for these flights.
Singapore Airlines makes much premium cabin award space available exclusively to members of their own KrisFlyer program, so many of these are flights that you couldn’t book with partner airline miles.
Are there any KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes awards that you plan to take advantage of?
@theluxurytraveller It’s a real shame that Debit got banned and we end up with a troll that’s not even funny but inoffensive enough to stick around. Are you trying to outdo fake Endre or something? Tiresome.
I’ve flown multiple segments in SQ J, and have always found it (and Qatar) to be rather overrated. These prices are great, of course, but I’ve never really gotten the hype.
@theluxurytraveler – Which flights offer vintage champagne in business class on these sale flights? I want to make sure I get the right one! Also, isn’t Krom the god that Conan the Barbarian prays to in the movies?
Not sure if I’m doing it wrong, but all i get is 124,000 miles for BNE-SG one way? travel betwene 1st sept -24th sept
I think EVA has Dom 2003 in their flagship J. MH offered some vintage limited time too.
For me, I’m perfectly happy with Charles Heidsieck.
