Spontaneous Escapes
Spontaneous Escapes are a regular feature of the KrisFlyer program. Every month, Singapore Airlines offers a 30% or more discount off the usual KrisFlyer miles required. While the main limitation is that it is for last-minute award travel, you can book across the Singapore Airlines network. Under the offer, you can book Saver awards in both Economy and Business class, for travel during the following month.
Keep in mind that these are discounted redemptions. As a result, they have additional restrictions over normal Award bookings.
Firstly, discounts are on offer for flights to and from Singapore. This doesn’t stop you from connecting in Singapore, however, if you do, the points you require will be either the sum of the two individual flights or the regular price – whichever works out lower.
If you need to change the flights, you will be a bit out of luck. You cannot cancel or make changes to a Spontaneous Escapes award booking.
You will need to ensure that all flights are taken during the promotional period. If any flights fall outside the promotion period, they will all be priced at the regular Award prices.
Finally, You need to book on the Singapore Airlines website to access the discount.
