Singapore Airlines’ ‘KrisFlyer’ loyalty programme has just announced a new promotion called ‘Spontaneous Escapes’, that knocks 30% off the number of Miles required for a large range of redemptions.

In essence, it’s very similar to other award discounts like Flying Blue Promo Awards and ‘Miles and More’ Mileage Bargains. You get a 30% KrisFlyer miles redemption discount when you use your KrisFlyer Miles online for selected Singapore Airlines or SilkAir flights on singaporeair.com, from now till 31 October 2017. Choose from any of the flights listed here and travel from 1 to 30 November 2017 (inclusive).

There are lots of options, but for most readers it’s the discounted European routes that will be of most interest (note that the dates to the right are blackout dates where the 30% discount is not available on that route):

Economy:

Business Class:

There are some excellent options between Singapore and India and Australia/NZ too, which you can check out here. Business Class to/from India is just 24,500 KrisFlyer Miles!

To find the discounted rates, just login to your your KrisFlyer account and search for award flights like normal. You’ll actually see the standard pricing to begin with when searching:

the discount only shows up when you select a flight:

I should also point out that following the changes Krisflyer made earlier this year, there are no longer any ‘surcharges’ when redeeming KrisFlyer Miles on Singapore or SilkAir flights, so the taxes/fees are pretty reasonable.

How to get KrisFlyer Miles

By far the easiest and best value way to accumulate KrisFlyer Miles in the UK is to transfer over American Express Membership Rewards Points at 1:1 rate. Note that KrisFlyer Miles expire after 3 years regardless of account activity, so do bear that in mind when considering whether to start collecting them.

Bottom line

It’s always great to see innovations like this and I hope KrisFlyer stick with Spontaneous Escapes. I can definitely see myself taking advantage of this at some point if they do!
