KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes deals for February 2023 announced

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

Singapore Airlines has released its regular Spontaneous Escapes offer for travel in February 2023, 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, especially since the selection has started to improve following the peak Christmas and Chinese New Year holiday periods.

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

Adelaide and Melbourne to Singapore (northbound direction only) in Business Class are also on the list, at 47,950 miles, as are both Darwin and Perth to Singapore (northbound direction only) for 28,350 miles.

Non-stop USA Premium Economy discounts have also made a comeback, with 56,350 miles needed for selected Newark and JFK flights.

If you do find a route of interest, you’ll need to book these ‘Promo’ awards over the next two weeks – between 15th January 2023 and 31st January 2023 – for travel in February 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.

Terms and conditions

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

In a nutshell – be sure to have firm travel plans if you’re locking in a Spontaneous Escapes deal.

Book the ‘Promo’ award category

Singapore Airlines offers its Spontaneous Escapes deals under its “Promo” award category, which you’ll see alongside the usual Saver and Advantage award rates on applicable flights.

If the Promo award rate is not shown for your preferred flight, even though it is listed as part of the offer, that unfortunately means there is no availability remaining at the Spontaneous Escapes rate (but do check back later, like Saver and Advantage award space – it can come and go).

Remember, you cannot waitlist for Promo awards – it’s either available for immediate redemption, or it’s not.

The “Promo” award category also means Spontaneous Escapes award capacity can be loaded as a subset of the Saver award space. This allows you to continue to book at Saver rates (if you prefer the flexibility, for example), or allows the airline to stop offering Spontaneous Escapes rates on a particular flight, while not necessarily having to remove the Saver rate at the same time, like they did under a former system.

It also allows you to book at a discount for larger groups, for example if there are three of you travelling but only two Promo (Spontaneous Escapes) award seats are loaded for the flight you want to travel on, you can potentially redeem the two remaining Promo seats and one Saver seat on a separate booking, and still effectively achieve a 20% overall miles discount between you.

What if you already booked?

If you have already redeemed your miles on a flight that has now become eligible for the Spontaneous Escapes offer, unfortunately there’s no simple way to change it and pay the reduced miles rate.

You will have to book again at the Spontaneous Escapes rate, then cancel the existing booking and pay the miles redeposit fee (don’t do it the other way round, in case the Spontaneous Escapes Promo space disappears in the meantime!).

This will require you to have sufficient miles in your account to immediately lock in the Spontaneous Escapes rate.

If you need the miles from the original booking in order to make the Spontaneous Escapes one due to an insufficient balance, be very careful!

Since you will first have to cancel the original booking, you are now at the mercy of the Spontaneous Escapes space remaining available on the flight, and it can sometimes take a few days for the miles from your original cancelled booking to be re-credited to your account.

Full details

For full details of this month’s Spontaneous Escapes offer, including terms and conditions (but sadly not including the aircraft type and seat type details we have provided above!), head over to the KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes promo page.

Spontaneous Escapes is becoming a slightly more expansive selection this month, with peak holiday periods behind us, and now includes Europe flights in Economy Class, like Singapore to London.

Check out the current deal for travel in February 2023, with some Economy Class discounts to and from Bali in the mix, plus A380 Business Class seats to and from Hong Kong and A350 Long-Haul Business Class from Adelaide to Singapore.

Remember if you’re unable to secure a return flight at the discounted rates, book two one-way tickets instead. You’ll pay the ‘Promo’ rate one-way and the usual ‘Saver’ rate for the non-discounted sector, but at least the whole itinerary will not be at the usual rate (and a 15% saving is still welcome).

Will you be locking in any of the Spontaneous Escapes offers for February 2023? Let us know in the comments section below.
