Singapore Airlines has released its monthly Spontaneous Escapes offer for travel in November 2023, with 30% off the regular 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.
The deal is coming a little later than usual this month as we predicted, following a one-week Global Redemption Sale for Economy and Premium Economy Class travel over the first seven months of 2024, which ended yesterday.
That means there’s just over one week to book your November discounted awards, instead of the usual 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.
Good deals this month include Singapore to and from Bali in Business Class for 14,700 miles one-way, with both 2018 RJ and MAX RJ seats included.
There’s also Singapore to and from Shanghai (now visa-free and test-free for Singaporeans) for 30,100 miles each way, while some selected Singapore to Sydney and Melbourne to Singapore discounts are up for grabs at 47,950 miles one-way, including the A380’s 2017 Business Class seats.
Economy Class to and from Bali for 5,950 miles is also a good deal, while last-minute fares on this route have been remaining quite high lately.
If you do find a route of interest, you’ll need to book these ‘Promo’ awards over the next week – between 23rd October 2023 and 31st October 2023 – for travel in November 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.
November 2023 offer
- A 30% discount on saver award redemptions for travel to and/or from selected destinations in November 2023.
- Redeem online at singaporeair.com or via the SingaporeAir mobile app between 23rd October 2023 and 31st October 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 / Advantage awards in the same booking.
- Travel must be completed by 30th November 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 a 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 – with COVID-19 travel restrictions firmly behind us – 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.
SIA’s full list
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
The regular monthly Spontaneous Escapes deal is back for travel in November 2023 for those who can make short-term trip plans.
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).
Will you be locking in any of the Spontaneous Escapes offers for November 2023? Let us know in the comments section below.
