KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes deals for January 2023 announced

Singapore Airlines has released the first Spontaneous Escapes offer for travel in 2023, though once again its slim pickings compared to many pre-pandemic months, given ongoing high demand and the impact of the Chinese New Year holiday, which falls in late January.

As usual, there’s 30% off the usual Saver miles redemption rates on offer when you lock in Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class awards to and from selected cities on the network next month.

If there’s a destination on the list you’re looking for, and you can make firm travel plans and book over the next two weeks, it’s still worth considering snapping up one of these seats.

Some awards worth considering include Business Class to or from Hong Kong (now with relaxed entry requirements) at 23,800 miles one-way, or Bali in Economy Class for 5,950 miles one-way.

Adelaide to Singapore in Business Class is also on the list, at 47,950 miles (with 2013 J seats if you pick the right flight), as is Singapore to Seoul in Economy Class for 18,900 miles, but only in one direction in both cases.

If you do find a route of interest, you’ll need to book these ‘Promo’ awards over the next two weeks – between 15th December 2022 and 31st December 2022 – for travel in January 2023, but remember there’s no flexibility and in most cases no refunds are allowed.

Redemption continues to only be available online at singaporeair.com, not via the mobile app, according to Singapore Airlines, though I am having no problems accessing the deal via the iOS app, so this issue may have been resolved, or perhaps only affects Android users.

Here are the terms and conditions for the Spontaneous Escapes promotion.
