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 31th May 2025 and fly between 1st June 2025 and 30th June 2025.
Good Deals for May 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.
For this month, there are expectedly few stand-out routes given that it’s going to be the upcoming June holidays. Demand for flights is typically high during this period of time.
Despite that, we’ll still see the usual routes on Business Class to South East Asia, China and South Asia. Some of the better redemption options would be Johannesburg, Male, Darwin, Cairns and Kathmandu.
There are more options when it comes to Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, where there are discounts to popular cities in Europe and North America. However, given their longer distances and general revenue prices, these would not be the best value redemptions as compared to Business Class redemptions.
These are some of the routes that caught our attention.
| Route | Class | Miles (one-way) |
|---|---|---|
| Singapore to Darwin | Business Class | 28,350 |
| Darwin to Singapore | Business Class | 28,350 |
| Singapore to Male | Business Class | 30,100 |
| Male to Singapore | Business Class | 30,100 |
| Singapore to Johannesburg | Business Class | 39,550 |
| Cairns to Singapore | Business Class | 47,950 |
| Brussels to Singapore | Premium Economy | 49,700 |
| Paris to Singapore | Premium Economy | 49,700 |
| Singapore to San Francisco | Premium Economy | 52,500 |
You can check out the full list of routes at KrisFlyer’s official page.
