Spontaneous Escapes: Ground Rules

Singapore Airlines shows Spontaneous Escapes awards under a special Promo category. This is the one you should select when making your booking (and if it doesn’t appear, that means there’s no availability remaining- though that doesn’t preclude it from reappearing later, so check back often).ย
Prior to COVID, Spontaneous Escapes were a subset of Saver awards. This created a problem, namely that if you wanted to book a regular Saver award (because it comes with a cancellation option, unlike Spontaneous Escapes awards), you couldn’t actually do it!
Now that Spontaneous Escapes are a separate category unto themselves, you have the freedom to choose to pay regular Saver prices if you so wish (thereby enjoying additional flexibility).
To understand the differences between the three award types, refer to the article below.
KrisFlyer Promo, Saver and Advantage awards: What’s the difference?
Spontaneous Escapes awards are strictly non-cancellable and non-changeable.ย Since no concession is made for travellers who cannot fly due to COVID-19, the onus is on you to purchase travel insurance that covers miles & points bookings.
What if you have an existing award?
If you’ve already holding on to a confirmed award on a flight that is now under Spontaneous Escapes, you will need to:
- Book the Spontaneous Escapes rate
- Cancel the existing booking and pay the redeposit fee (US$75 for Saver, US$50 for Advantage)
I strongly recommend doing it in this order, in case the Spontaneous Escapes award space disappears in the meantime. It does mean you’ll need sufficient miles on hand, of course.ย
Depending on your luck, miles may be recredited immediately to your account, but can take up to 4-6 weeks. If you need them urgently, the CSO can put in a request to expedite the process, but YMMV.
Conclusion
Singapore Airlines Spontaneous Escapes for December 2024 are out, and if you manage to find something you like, be sure to ticket your awards by 30 November 2024ย to enjoy the discounts.
What will you be booking for Spontaneous Escapes?ย
Learnt the hard way to make redemptions per way instead of return. Per way results in 2 booking references, allowing you to cancel one in favor of an available spontaneous escapes opportunity. A returns redemption results in only 1 booking reference. Cancellation will be onerous as you have to secure spontaneous escape bookings on both legs of the journey!
Doesn’t it work both works, meaning if there is SE for both legs, then u only pay 1 cancellation fee instead of 2? Of course if SE only avail on 1, then 2 x 1 way is better. So it is a matter of luck.
