It’s the middle of the month and that means that another set of KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes deals has been published by Singapore Airlines, but this month the usual discount of 30% is replaced by a 40% discount to celebrate the KrisFlyer program reaching 10 million members worldwide.
The boosted discount aside, however, there’s not much good news in this this set of deals. Yes, Johannesburg finally makes a reappearance in both the Business Class and Premium Economy deals and some of the other Premium Economy deals continue to look interesting as well, but there are no Business Class deals for North America or Europe this month and some of the blackout date restrictions are, again, laughable, so keep your expectations low as you read on.
Headline terms & conditions
- Book by 31 March 2025 (23:59 hrs Local Time).
- Travel between 1 and 30 April 2025 (blackout dates may apply).
- Get a 40% discount on select award bookings.
- One-way and round-trip awards are permissible.
- Taxes and fees will be charged.
Full terms and conditions have been reproduced at the end of this post.
Keep in mind
The Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer program is a transfer partner for all four major transferable currencies (from Chase, Citi, Amex, and Capital One), so if any of the deals that you see below would work well for you but you don’t have a healthy KrisFlyer balance, you should be able to top up your KrisFlyer account from one or more sources.
Note: The costs you’ll see indicated below are for one-way travel excluding taxes and fees.
Business Class deals
Southeast Asia Routes:
In this set of Spontaneous Escapes, there are eight Business Class deals on offer for travel within Southeast Asia and they’re they’re for the same eight routes that had deals last month, that’s good news. Unfortunately, once again, a few of these routes seem to have a ridiculous number of blackout dates. The deals include:
Singapore to or from …
- Bali – (on select flights) – 12,600 miles*
- Bangkok – (on select flights) – 14,400 miles*
- Ho Chi Minh City – (on select flights) – 14,400 miles*

*Blackout dates apply
North Asia Routes:
In this set of Spontaneous Escapes, there are, essentially just three Business Class deals on offer for travel within North Asia (the same as last month and this month two of the deals are for one-way travel only).
Beijing appears as a destination twice because Singapore Airlines operates to/from to both of the city’s major airports, but that’s still just one deal to our minds.
Singapore to or from …
- Beijing (PKX) (on select flights) – 25,800 miles*
- Hong Kong (on select flights) – 20,400 miles*
Also, Singapore to Beijing (PEK) and Singapore to Shanghai are available for 25,800 miles* and
*Blackout dates apply
West Asia & Africa Routes:
In this set of Spontaneous Escapes, there are seven Business Class deals on offer for travel to/from this region (up from four last time around) but 5 of the 7 deals are for one-way travel only. Also, Johannesburg appears as a Spontaneous Escapes deal for the first time in some time.
Singapore to or from …

- Johannesburg (on select flights) – 33,900 miles*
Also, Singapore to Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and New Delhi are all available for 25,800 miles*
*Blackout dates apply
Southwest Pacific Routes:
In this set of Spontaneous Escapes there is just one Business Class deal on offer for travel to or from the Southwest Pacific (three fewer than last month) and to make matters worse, it’s for one way travel only.
Singapore to Cairns is available for 41,100 miles*
*Blackout dates apply
European Routes:
There are no Business Class Spontaneous Escapes deals that touch Europe this month.
USA & Canada Routes:
There are no Business Class Spontaneous Escapes deals that touch the United States or Canada this month.
Premium Economy deals
North Asia Routes:
There are four Premium Economy Class deals for travel within this region (the same as last month), but this month one os for one-way travel only.
Singapore to or from…

- Hong Kong (on select flights) – 15,900 miles*
- Shanghai (on select flights) – 20,700 miles*
Also, Singapore to Tokyo (NRT) is available for 22,500 miles*

West Asia & Africa Routes:
There are four Premium Economy Class deals for travel within this region (one more then last month) and Johannesburg and Dubai appear as Spontaneous Escapes routes for the first time in months.
Singapore to/from …
- Johannesburg – (on select flights) – 25,800 miles*

Also available are Singapore to Mumbai and Singapore to New Delhi, for 20,700 miles*.
*Blackout dates apply
Southwest Pacific Routes:
There is just one Premium Economy Class deal for travel within this region this month and not only is it a one-way deal only, but it’s also a route on which 14 out of 30 days are blacked out.
Singapore to Sydney is available for 30,600 miles*
*Blackout dates apply
European Routes:
There are just four Premium Economy Class deals for travel to or from Europe this month (five fewer than last month) and only three of these is for round trip travel.
Singapore to or from…
- Frankfurt (on select flights) – 42,600 miles*
Also, Brussels, Copenhagen and Munich to Singapore are available for 42,600 miles (select flights)*
*Blackout dates may apply
USA & Canada Routes:
There are just two US routes on which a Premium Economy deal is currently bookable and both are only valid for one-way travel.
San Francisco to Singapore and Seattle to Singapore are both available for 45,000 miles* … but there are a lot of blackout dates.
*Blackout dates may apply
Bottom line
As usual, how these deals are viewed will vary from person to person (depending on people’s travel plans) and while there really isn’t all that much to get excited about here (partly because some of the routes aren’t all that exciting and partly because some of the blackout date restrictions are ridiculous), there are one or two deals available that may be of interest to TFM readers.
Sure, the number of deals for round trip travel to/from destinations outside of Asia continues to be disappointing, but if you’re happy to travel in Premium Economy the deals we’ve seen so far this year are an improvement on what we saw through most of 2024.
