KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes

KrisFlyer is the loyalty program of Singapore Airlines, and every month they offer discounted award flights on a handful of routes. 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 specific flights. While these tickets are subject to a few restrictions, they generally represent fantastic value. It’s a great promotion to stretch the value of your KrisFlyer Miles, with many travellers eagerly awaiting the release of Spontaneous Escape routes.

The current Spontaneous Escapes offers are available on bookings made until 30 September 2025, for travel from 1 to 31 October 2025.

Discounted Singapore Airlines Awards With Spontaneous Escapes

The latest Spontaneous Escapes promotion is one of the worst we have seen in recent years. That's especially the case for premium Business Class rewards, with Singapore Airlines not discounting a single route to/from Europe or North America! Australia still offers a few routes, but again, it's nothing exciting.

This is unsurprising given the impending KrisFlyer devaluation from 1 November.

Below are some top Business Class picks for the month, departing from or arriving in Singapore;

  • Brisbane & Cairns for 47,950 miles
  • Darwin for 28,350 miles
  • Jakarta for 14,700 miles
  • Bangkok for 16,800 miles
  • Manila for 16,800 miles

For the full list of routes, including specific flight numbers and blackout dates, visit the KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes page.

Australian Spontaneous Escapes Offers

In terms of Australia, this month’s Spontaneous Escapes promotion is slightly better than we have seen in previous months, as the peak travel period begins to subside. Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin and Perth are discounted in Business Class, plus there is a large selection of routes in Economy. For the first time in a while, no Australian Premium Economy routes are discounted.

  • You must book the specified flight numbers.
  • Some blackout dates apply.

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.
