We regularly cover Singapore Airlines’ monthly ‘Spontaneous Escapes’ promotions. Essentially, these are time limited promos that knock big chunks off the number of miles required for a variety of Singapore Airlines award redemptions, which can lead to some fantastic bargains!

It is very similar to other award discounts like Flying Blue Promo Awards and ‘Miles and More’ Mileage Bargains.

The current offer is for selected Singapore Airlines and SilkAir flights booked by 31st December 2019. Choose from any of the flights listed here and travel between 1st-31st January 2020 (though watch out for ‘blackout dates’ on some routes).

What’s available?

This list is pretty good again this time, particularly Business Class between Dusseldorf and Singapore for 64,400 miles each way:

 

There are also some potentially interesting options in Economy to/from Europe:

Premium Economy between London and Singapore might appeal too:

 

In addition, there is the usual large range of discounted Business Class options within Asia, including Singapore to various destinations in India for 27,300 miles one way.

Finally, Adelaide to Singapore in Business Class for 43,400 miles might also be useful for some readers.

To find the discounted rates, just log into 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.

There are no ‘surcharges’ when redeeming KrisFlyer Miles on Singapore or SilkAir flights, so the taxes/fees are relatively 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 a 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.
