KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes deals for March 2023 announced

Redeem Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes deals with 30% off saver awards for travel in March 2023.
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 March 2023, with 30% off the usual Saver miles redemption rates when you lock in Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class awards to and from selected cities on the network over the next two weeks.

This month there are deals for Bali in Economy (5,950 miles) and Business Class (14,700 miles), plus some long-haul flights like Singapore – Brisbane in Business Class (47,950 miles) and Amsterdam – Singapore in Business Class (74,900 miles, which strangely isn’t a 30% discount!).

Update: Singapore Airlines has now corrected the discounted award rates for AMS-SIN (J) to 72,450 miles and for MUC-SIN (PY) to 49,700 miles. These were initially incorrect, both in the offer table and when searching / booking.

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.

If you do find a route of interest, you’ll need to book these ‘Promo’ awards over the next two weeks – between 15th February 2023 and 28th February 2023 – for travel in March 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.

March 2023 offer

  • A 30% discount on saver award redemptions for travel to and/or from selected destinations in March 2023.
  • Redeem online at singaporeair.com between 15th February 2023 and 28th February 2023.
  • Flights are non-refundable and non-changeable.
  • Blackout dates apply on some routes (see the full list below for details).
  • Book one-way legs if the discount only applies on one of the two (or more) flights you need. You cannot book one-way Promo (Spontaneous Escapes) and one-way Saver awards in the same booking.
  • Travel must be completed by 31st March 2023.
  • Book as many redemptions as you like at Spontaneous Escapes rates – it’s not capped.
  • You cannot waitlist for Promo (Spontaneous Escapes) redemptions.
  • For any flights cancelled by SIA, or if an SQ-operated flight was removed from a Spontaneous Escapes booking due to COVID-19 and governmental regulatory changes, the miles redeemed in the unused portion of the ticket will be refunded, with no additional fees charged.
  • Requests to change any booking details, or to retain the ticket for future use, will not be granted.

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 the 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 the pre-pandemic system.

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

ADVERTISEMENT

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.



 


 

Summary

Spontaneous Escapes is becoming a slightly more expansive selection as we head further into 2023 and capacity progressively increases, with peak holiday periods behind us.

Check out the current deal for travel in March 2023, which includes Bali flights in both cabins at a competitive rate, plus some long-haul options like Amsterdam – Singapore in Business Class for 74,900 miles (a peculiar 28% discount).

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 March 2023? Let us know in the comments section below.
