The small print

As with any promotion, there are certain eligibility conditions that must be met. Tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis, and must be booked via Singapore Airlines’ website or mobile app. The deals are available only on certain flights on the specified routes, and blackout dates also apply, with key holiday dates usually unavailable.

Taxes and fees are not included and must be paid separately by the passenger, and in a difference to the usual ticket conditions when booking with KrisFlyer miles, Spontaneous Escapes tickets cannot be changed or canceled. Full details of the terms and conditions can be found on the carrier’s website.

The most recent Spontaneous Escapes promotion was valid for selected flights on certain dates in April, and bookings had to be made by March 31st, 2024, at the latest. Although that promotion has now ended, it will not be long before the next batch of destinations and flights becomes available, so it is worthwhile keeping an eye out for some fantastic savings in the future.

How to earn KrisFlyer miles

Flights purchased as part of the Spontaneous Escapes promotion must be done so using KrisFlyer miles, which members of Singapore Airlines’ loyalty program, KrisFlyer, can accumulate through a variety of means.

One of the quickest ways to rack up KrisFlyer miles is by booking flights on Singapore Airlines. Passengers can also earn miles when traveling on eligible fares with other member airlines of Star Alliance, including United Airlines, Turkish Airlines, and TAP Air Portugal. Singapore Airlines has been a member of the world’s largest airline alliance since April 2000, and many of its fellow member carriers also offer status matches for KrisFlyer members.

Hotel stays and ground transportation booked through eligible providers is another way of earning miles, and Singapore Airlines has also teamed up with several credit card partners, each offering KrisFlyer members the chance to accumulate miles through everyday spending. These include Amex Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Citi ThankYou.

From Singapore to the world

Singapore Airlines is today widely regarded as one of the world’s best airlines, and has won countless awards testifying as such. From its hub at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), the carrier serves more than 80 destinations around the world, including some of commercial aviation’s longest flights and a handful of unusual fifth-freedom routes, such as Manchester (MAN) to Houston (IAH) and Frankfurt (FRA) to New York (JFK).

As mentioned above, some of these routes have also been included in the Spontaneous Escapes promotion from time to time. Singapore Airlines’ newest destination, Brussels (BRU), has made an appearance in the list too – the carrier launched four weekly flights in April 2024, marking its return to the Belgian city after more than 20 years. Flights are operated by the Airbus A350-900, which seats a total of 253 passengers in a three-class configuration – 42 in business class, 24 in premium economy, and 187 in economy class.

Data from ch-aviation shows that Singapore Airlines’ fleet is currently made up of 159 aircraft. With 56 Airbus A350-900s, the carrier is the largest operator of the type, and was also the launch customer of both the Boeing 787-10 in 2018 and the Airbus A380 in 2007. Today, Singapore Airlines operates the most 787-10s of any airline worldwide.

Spontaneous Escapes promotions offer a wide variety of great value deals for those with some flexibility in their travel plans. It also enables Singapore Airlines to fill up cabins on what are presumably high-availability dates and routes. But with the promotion running monthly, if your favorite destination is not available in one particular month, keep an eye out for more Spontaneous Escapes the following month to bag yourself a bargain.
