KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes deals for June 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 June 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.

If there’s a destination on the list you’re looking for, and you can make firm travel plans, it’s always worth considering snapping up one of these seats while this discount is available.

With the peak June Singapore school holidays running for most of the month, it’s slim pickings this time round, as you might imagine.

Deals this month include Singapore to Mumbai in Business Class for 30,100 miles, Singapore to Manila in Business Class for 16,800 miles, Singapore to Sydney in Premium Economy for 35,700 miles and Singapore to Sydney in Economy Class for 21,350 miles.

Singapore to and from Beijing or Shanghai is also available in Economy Class for 15,050 miles each way, but you still (probably) need a visa to fly to most Chinese cities.

Hong Kong has sadly dropped off the list for the first time in six months, with demand to and from the city clearly now much higher, following full border reopening there, and flight frequencies still far below pre-COVID levels.

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

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 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.

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.

The regular monthly Spontaneous Escapes deal is back for travel in June 2023 for those who can make short-term travel plans, but this month it’s slim pickings due to the peak Singapore school holiday period.

Most popular destinations like Hong Kong, Bali, Phuket and Bangkok are unfortunately missing from the list for this very reason.

Check out the full deal here, and do refer to our seat types summary for Business Class in the tables above to pick the aircraft with the best cabin product for your routing.

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).
