It’s the middle of the month and that means that Singapore Airlines has published its latest set of KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes deals.

- Travel between 1 July and 31 July 2023 (blackout dates may apply)
- Get a 30% discount on select award bookings

The deals
In the good old days this would be the point at which I would remind readers that what they’ll see below are just examples of the deals that are being offered and that more deals may be available. Sadly, that disclaimer hasn’t been needed for a while and that continues to be the case with this latest set of Spontaneous Escapes.
Once again, there are so few deals being offered this month that I have published the full list, and if you’re hoping for premium cabin deals between Asia and the US, you can end those hopes here and move on because there isn’t a single Asia/North America Business Class or Premium Economy deal to be seen.
Note: The costs you’ll see indicated below are for one-way travel excluding taxes and fees.

Bottom line
If you happen to need to travel to or from one of the destinations that are listed in this month’s Spontaneous Escapes, a 30% discount on award travel is probably going to seem like a nice deal to be offered.
If, however, you’ve been waiting for KrisFlyer to offer up some decent Business Class discounts for travel to/from the United States, Africa, the Middle East and/or Europe, you’re in for a big disappointment.
