Singapore Airlines has launched its monthly Spontaneous Escapes promotion for January 2025, offering discounts of 30% on Economy, Premium Economy, and Business Class award bookings to and from a selection of destinations across its network.

As usual, to take advantage of these savings you’ll need to secure your tickets within the next two weeks, though the sooner the better is a good plan, since discounted award seats are available on a first come, first served basis.

If any of the destinations on this month’s list catch your eye and you’re able to make firm travel plans, it’s definitely worth seizing the opportunity to book one of these seats at the discounted rate.

Some of the best deals worth considering this month are:

• Singapore to or from Brussels for 72,450 miles in Business Class or 29,400 miles in Economy Class
• Singapore to Shanghai (one-way) for 30,100 miles in Business Class or 15,050 miles in Economy Class
• Singapore to or from Malé for 30,100 miles in Business Class or 14,000 miles in Economy Class
• Singapore to or from London for 29,400 miles in Economy Class
• Singapore to or from San Francisco for 29,400 miles in Economy Class
• Singapore to or from Hong Kong for 23,800 miles in Business Class or 11,550 miles in Economy Class
• Singapore to Bangkok (one-way) for 16,800 miles in Business Class
• Singapore to or from Ho Chi Minh for 16,800 miles in Business Class
• Singapore to or from Bali or Jakarta for 14,700 miles in Business Class or 5,950 miles in Economy Class
• Singapore to Taipei (one-way) for 11,550 miles in Economy Class
• Singapore to or from Phuket for 9,450 miles in Economy Class

Some routes are affected by a range of blackout dates, which we clearly show in our detailed tables below.

If you do find a route of interest, you’ll need to book these ‘Promo’ awards over the next two weeks – between 17th December 2024 and 31st December 2024 – for travel in January 2025, 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.

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).

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.

This also opens up the possibility of securing discounted bookings for larger groups.

For example, if three of you are traveling but only two Promo (Spontaneous Escapes) award seats are available for your desired flight, you can potentially redeem the two available Promo seats and then one Saver seat on a separate booking.

This way, you can still effectively enjoy a 20% overall mileage discount across your group, compared to booking three Saver awards.

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 January 2025, for those who can make short-term travel plans.

Offers this month in Business Class include Singapore to or from Brussels for 72,450 miles, Bali for 14,700 miles, Malé for 30,100 miles and Hong Kong for 23,800 miles.

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).
