Singapore Airlines offers discounted award flights on selected routes every month. It’s called KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes, with redemptions slashed by 30% in economy, premium economy and business class.
Spontaneous Escapes are essentially sale fares for KrisFlyer redemptions and are limited to last-minute bookings on a handful of specific flights, which change monthly. Presumably, Singapore Airlines uses this as a way of increasing passenger numbers on underperforming flights. Tickets are subject to a few restrictions, but generally, will represent fantastic value.
The current Spontaneous Escapes offers are available for booking until 30 April 2024, for travel from 1 to 31 May 2024.

How To Earn KrisFlyer Miles In Australia?
In Australia, the easiest and best way to earn KrisFlyer miles is to sign up to an American Express card that earns Membership Rewards. As well as being easy to earn, transfers to Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer are typically instant, which is useful for deals such as this. The American Express Platinum (currently with 150,000 bonus points) is your best bet for a premium Card, but the American Express Explorer (currently with 50,000 bonus points) is also a solid option with a lower fee.
