    Plan your last-minute June holidays with Singapore Airlines Spontaneous Escapes

    Singapore Airlines have unveiled its offerings for the June edition of Spontaneous Escapes.

    As again, the promotional mileage is 30% off the usual redemption rates applicable. Bookings must be made by 31 May 2019, for travel between 1 to 30 June 2019, barring blackout dates.

    Key offers

    Some of the more prominent call outs include:

    • Bali is back on the list, with business class redemptions available both ways
    • Surprising number of flights to Australia available for redemptions, including business class flights to and from Brisbane and Melbourne
    • Two fifth-freedom America routes are available for redemption, from Hong Kong to San Francisco (one-way) in economy and from Manchester to Houston (one-way) in business

  • Krisflyer Spontaneous Escapes: up to 50% off miles required for your March trips

    Krisflyer Spontaneous Escapes: up to 50% off miles required for your March trips

    So after running it intermittently last year, Singapore Airlines have officially launched the Spontaneous Escapes as a regular feature.

    What is KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes?

    Singapore Airlines releases a list of discounted KrisFlyer redemption Saver awards, in both Economy and Business, to select destinations every month, at 30% off the usual redemption rates.

    The deals are usually available for a very short time, and travel is also limited to the following month, making this perfect if you have unused leave or you are in need of a spontaneous holiday.

    Singapore Airlines regional A330 business class

    Offer destinations for February 2019

    For the launch, they have offered a very generous 50% off the usual economy class redemption rates, and business cabins at economy rates.

    Some interesting destinations and redemption rates include:

    • Shanghai, Beijing: 10,000 miles each way for Economy, 20,000 miles each way for Business
    • Auckland: 28,000 miles each way for Business
    • Rome, Zurich, London: 19,000 miles each way for Economy

    If you are looking at the non-stop flights to US, Los Angeles is also on offer – you can redeem for a Premium Economy seat at Economy rate of 38,000 miles each way. Not that great a deal if you ask me, nonetheless.

    Booking deadline

    Redeem your tickets from now till 28 February 2019, for travel between 1 to 31 March 2019 (except for Los Angeles, for travel up to 30 April 2019).

    Remember that the discount will only show up after selecting the flight, so do not worry if it looks like there’s no discount.

  • November 2018 KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes

    November 2018 KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes

    The November Spontaneous Escapes promotion list is now out!

    For the penultimate edition of the year, KrisFlyer is offering 30% off the usual mileage required for Economy & Business on SQ to destinations across Asia and Australia only, for travel in December 2018.

    For SilkAir, the destination list is slightly more generous, with 15 destinations as far as Hiroshima, Japan and Darwin, Australia.

    Also included in the promotion this month is January travel to USA. If you recall, Singapore Airlines came out to say earlier this month that the premium economy cabin is not selling like hot cakes on the non-stop services to USA, so I guess naturally these will come at a discount too. The price? 45,500 miles each way to Los Angeles and San Francisco, plus taxes, for travel between 1-13 January 2019.

    All redemptions must be made by 30 November 2018.

    You can find the full list on KrisFlyer’s website, but here’s what I think its most value for money:

    • Denpasar-Bali: 12,250 miles each way in Business – good to try the new B787-10 regional business class product
    • Sydney: 40,600 miles each way in Business – good to try the new A380 business product

    The list varies from month to month, sometimes including destinations as far as Düsseldorf, so be sure to check back each month!

    The August 2018 KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes list is out

    So it’s been twelve months since Singapore Airlines started a monthly redemption promotion called KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes, offering discounts on using your miles for select destinations.
