What Are Singapore Escapes?
Singapore Airlines runs the KrisFlyer award program, and Spontaneous Escapes offer discounts on KrisFlyer award bookings. Each month, the discount is 30%. That means an award that would normally cost 50,000 miles now costs 35,000. Not all routes are covered, though. The Spontaneous Escapes promotion provides a specific list of which Singapore Airlines flights are included in the promotion.
The list includes eligible flight dates and a “book by” date. Typically, the list comes out with a “book by” date for the last day of that month. The travel dates are typically in the month following the booking dates.
No promo code is needed. Simply log into your KrisFlyer account and search for the date you want. The Singapore Spontaneous Escapes discount is automatically applied.

Singapore KrisFlyer Transfer Partners
If you don’t have enough KrisFlyer miles to book an award, you can transfer points from numerous different programs:
Except for Marriott and Brex, all point transfers are at a 1:1 ratio. Transfers from Marriott are at a 3:1 ratio, plus a 5,000-mile bonus for every 60,000 Bonvoy points transferred. We recommend only transferring the quantity needed since Singapore KrisFlyer miles expire after 36 months.
Worried that space might disappear while you're waiting on points to show up in your account? You can view typical Singapore KrisFlyer transfer times to see which points will transfer the fastest. You also can use our Balance Watch feature to get notified as soon as the miles hit your KrisFlyer account. Then, you can snag the Singapore Spontaneous Escapes award that you want as quickly as possible.
And when it's time to pay, make sure to use your best credit card for travel purchases. That way, you'll get a great return on your spending.
Our Take
It's great to see the continuation of Singapore Airlines' Spontaneous Escapes. If you've had your eye on any of the routes included on the list, you can book for 30% fewer miles than typically required.
Before booking, make sure you know what you're getting into. You need to book within a short window, and travel is within the next month and a half. You need to have some flexibility and be able to book for near-term travel. Lastly, you should be certain you'll take the flights since you can't change or cancel these promotional tickets later.
If you can make it work and are sure you're going to take the flight, Singapore KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes can be a great deal. Snag one if it fits into your travel plans.

I keep forgetting that Singapore does jfk fra. It’s nice to get this reminder. Do the spontaneous discounts come about a month before usually?
Yes, these discounts usually drop on the 15th of the month before the month of travel (e.g. January 15th for travel in February 2023). So, it requires some last-minute planning!
I wish that I had time off. I would love to use this to go to somewhere. There a few on the list I would love to take advantage of. I wonder how fast the space goes? I like that they include Prem Eco. Just wish biz would be included too.
It is a good offer, in may I’ll travel from New York to Singapore.
