KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes November 2019 offers

EXPIRED This article relates to an offer or promotion which has now expired.

Singapore Airlines is back with its regular monthly ‘Spontaneous Escapes’ deal, offering 30% off the usual miles rates for saver award tickets on a range of routes for travel in November 2019, provided you book by the end of October.

It’s an extensive lineup this month, as the airline tries to fill its seats on a range of routes which become a little less popular in November.

A return Business Class option to Europe is available with the Dusseldorf route on offer for 64,400 miles in both directions next month, a nice enhancement as we’ve typically seen only one-way discounts recently meaning you had to stump up the regular miles rate on the way home.

A good list of Australia routes are discounted in Business Class, while more close to home we see the return of Bali, Bangkok, Male and Hong Kong to the list, many of which include the latest Business Class seats.

There are 39 Singapore Airlines destinations on offer this month plus 16 for SilkAir, though 3 of the latter overlap with SIA for a true total of 52 destinations across the two carriers.

Best in Business

There’s a very good range of Singapore Airlines’ latest Business Class seats for 30% fewer miles in November 2019, so let’s start by summarising those before we move on to the main list of all available routes.

Hong Kong is back on the new A380s, adding to the regular Shanghai option for the new 2017 Business Class seats. Pick SQ856/861 to and from Hong Kong and SQ830/833 to and from Shanghai to take advantage of these for 27,300 miles each way.

There are still a few Japan options in November including Tokyo, Nagoya and Fukuoka.

Brisbane on the A350 with either the new Regional Business Class seats or the 2013 long-haul seats is a good deal, now available for a third consecutive month at 43,400 miles each way. Adelaide flights also make an appearance this month, with the new 2018 RJ seats.

Bangkok is back with all three daily Boeing 787-10 flights on the route available in Business Class for 15,050 miles. That’s a great way to try out these new seats if you haven’t flown them before, though you may be more tempted by either of the daily Bali flights on the same aircraft type for just 13,300 miles in Business.

Jakarta flights are also available again in both the 2013 J and 2018 RJ seats.

This should help you choose better on your preferred route, as there’s nothing worse than getting a great deal, then stepping on board only to find an average seat awaits. Here are the seat type abbreviations for reference:

You might even be swayed to choose your preferred route based on the aircraft or seat type, especially if you’re still looking to try one of the newer options for the first time.

You’ll pay 30% fewer miles than usual for a saver redemption if you can book by the end of October and travel during November.

No Premium Economy USA offers this month

Singapore Airlines often releases Spontaneous Escapes deals two months in advance for Premium Economy cabins on A350 ULR non-stop USA flights.

This probably isn’t necessary for them in the run up to the busy Christmas and New Year period, so there are no such offers this month (i.e. for December).

In any event these discounts usually represent poor value, since they are only ever on the list when the fares themselves are rock bottom (e.g. sub-S$1,500 return).

Fifth freedom routes

You may note from the tables above that there are discounts on some of SIA’s “fifth freedom” flights (which don’t operate to or from Singapore itself) this month, including the following in Business Class:

• Hong Kong – San Francisco (SQ2 – 62,300 miles)
• San Francisco – Hong Kong (SQ1, SQ3 – 62,300 miles)

With the following in Premium Economy:

• Frankfurt – New York (SQ26 – 32,900 miles)
• New York – Frankfurt (SQ25 – 32,900 miles)

And finally the following in Economy Class:

• Hong Kong – San Francisco (SQ2 – 23,100 miles)

Important booking tip

We say it every month, but we still get asked most months! “I searched the right flight but the rate is not showing as discounted!”

The Singapore Airlines website and app don’t make it obvious that the discounted miles rate is being applied. Don’t despair, just click the ‘Saver’ rate and then check the drop-down box, where the discounted rate will then be shown, provided your flight is applicable for the discount. Here’s how it looks:
