It’s the time of the month when Singapore Airlines announces its monthly Spontaneous Escape promotion! With this promotion, you can save 30% on your award redemptions with Singapore Airlines.
What is the Spontaneous Escapes?
Spontaneous Escapes is a promotion by Singapore Airlines that offers award redemption rates of 30% off the standard Saver award tickets to selected destinations. The flights must be flown the following month, and therefore spontaneous!
This is usually the best opportunity to make your hard-earned KrisFlyer miles go even further. You can often find amazing deals, assuming you can take off on a moment’s notice (or a month).
For the spontaneous escapes promotion this month, you must book your ticket by 30th April 2025 and fly between 1st May 2025 and 31st May 2025.
Good Deals for April 2024
These are some of our top picks for the month. We’ll generally try to go for longer business-class flights as compared to short economy-class flights when redeeming our miles to fully maximise their value.
After the special edition of Spontaneous Escapes last month, the selections for this month are relatively muted.
In business class, we get the regular selections of Southeast Asia, South Asia and China. An interesting option this month is the inclusion of Male, Maldives. This is likely because it’s the start of the Monsoon season, which marks a low season in the island country.
For premium economy, we got Tokyo, which is very rare for Spontaneous Escapes, especially since Japan is so popular right now. However, given the high number of blackout dates, you might need a lot of flexibility to take advantage of this.
When it comes to the economy class, there’s a more generous selection for further locations like Europe and North America. However, given the long duration of the flights and the lower cash value, we don’t think it’s especially worth the miles even with the 30% discount.
These are some of the routes that caught our attention.
| Route | Class | Miles (one-way) |
|---|---|---|
| Singapore to Hong Kong | Business | 23,800 |
| Hong Kong to Singapore | Business | 23,800 |
| Singapore to Tokyo | Premium Economy | 26,250 |
| Tokyo to Singapore | Premium Economy | 26,250 |
| Singapore to Male | Business | 30,100 |
| Male to Singapore | Business | 30,100 |
You can check out the full list of routes at KrisFlyer’s official page.

What Card to Use For Fees?
When redeeming award flights, you’ll usually have to pay a small fee for taxes and tariffs. Although these typically do not go for more than S$100 for Singapore Airlines, it’ll still be good if we can optimise our spending here.
Below are some of our favourite credit cards to use to pay for taxes and fees when redeeming award flights on Singapore Airlines.

 | UOB Lady’s / UOB Lady’s Solitaire (travel category selected) | 4 | Review | Apply |
