It’s the time of the month when Singapore Airlines announces its monthly Spontaneous Escape promotion! With this promotion, you can save 30% off your award redemptions with Singapore Airlines.
This comes hot off the heels of the recent Global Redemption Sale. As the global redemption sale ends on 23rd September 2024, there’s a short overlap between the 2 promotions.
What is the Spontaneous Escapes?
Spontaneous Escapes is a promotion by Singapore Airlines where they offer award redemption rates at 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 September 2024 and fly between 1st October 2024 and 31st October 2024.
Good Deals for September 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.
This list of cities for the month is relatively short, with most good redemptions revolving around our neighbours down south. Most of these routes are also available 1-way on the inbound, so it might be hard to plan for a full trip with just Spontaneous Escapes redemptions alone.
| Route | Class | Miles (one-way) |
|---|---|---|
| Auckland to Singapore (1-way only) | Economy | 21,350 |
| Auckland to Singapore (1-way only) | Premium Economy | 35,700 |
| Christchurch to Singapore (1-way only) | Premium Economy | 35,700 |
| Singapore to Los Angeles (1-way only) | Premium Economy | 52,500 |
| Singapore to Hong Kong | Business | 23,800 |
| Singapore to Male | Business | 30,100 |
| Perth to Singapore (1-way only) | Business | 28,350 |
| Sydney to Singapore (1-way only) | Business | 47,950 |
| Melbourne to Singapore (1-way only) | Business | 47,950 |
| Cairns to Singapore (1-way only) | Business | 47,950 |

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.
| Card | Miles Per Dollar (mpd) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | UOB Lady’s / UOB Lady’s Solitaire (travel category selected) | 4 | Review | Apply |
