[Expired] Discounted Award Flights With Singapore Airlines Spontaneous Escapes [Book by Dec. 31]

It’s time again for Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer to update its Spontaneous Escapes promotion. This round features significant discounts on redemptions for travel in January.

The monthly offer from Singapore allows members to book select flights at a discount when redeeming KrisFlyer miles. Bookings must be made by December 31, 2024, for travel from January 1 to January 31, 2025 — hence, the spontaneous in “Spontaneous Escapes.”

Unfortunately, the route offerings this month are significantly reduced from what we normally see, and offers to the U.S. are very minimal.

Let’s take a look at which routes are available and how to book them before it’s too late.

New Discounted Singapore Award Flights

As with all Singapore Spontaneous Escape promotions, this is a “while supplies last” type of offer, so there’s a chance availability is snapped up before the end of the booking period.

With travel dates limited to the month of January, there are some blackout dates involved. However, they’re still worth considering for a last-minute getaway, especially if you want a significant discount.

The discounts apply to some U.S. routes for economy and premium economy seats, with the notable exception of business class, first class, and Singapore Airlines’ beloved Suites product.

Singapore details dozens of routes where the 30% discount applies, which you can find here.

There is also a considerable list of routes on sale if you’re flying within Asia. Note that for some of the routes, the discounts are only available in 1 direction. Finally, all KrisFlyer miles required are on a one-way basis.

Here are the economy flights to and from the U.S. eligible during the current version of this promotion:

Unfortunately, there aren’t any deals for premium economy or business class touching the U.S. for travel in January.

How To Book Singapore Airlines Flights With KrisFlyer Miles

First and foremost, you’ll need to be a member of the KrisFlyer frequent flyer program. If you’re not already a member, you can sign up for free in a few easy steps.

Even if your balance is zero, it’s relatively easy to earn KrisFlyer miles, as the program is a partner of many transferable rewards currencies, including Amex Membership Rewards, Brex Rewards, Capital One miles, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou Rewards, and Marriott Bonvoy.

Be sure to select the Redeem flights option when searching for availability, and you’re good to go. Promo award pricing will be clearly labeled on the results page, if available.

When selecting your discounted fare, make sure to note the restrictions. These discounted fares are non-refundable if you need to change or cancel.

Final Thoughts

No matter which cabin you fly, you’re in excellent hands with Singapore Airlines. If you’ve been searching for award space, now would be a great time to put your KrisFlyer miles to good use. Remember that you need to book by the end of this month for travel next month with these awards.
