If youโre a regular follower of KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes, you probably know the drill by now: deals are released on the 15th of each month (or the next working day), offering a 30% discount on selected Business, Premium Economy and Economy Saver awards for travel the following calendar month.
However, Singapore Airlines is teasing something different for this month. Members have been asked to mark their calendars for Friday, 7 March 2025 when an โupsizedโ Spontaneous Escapes offer will be revealed.
โ ๏ธ Story update: Singapore Airlines has instead launched a KrisFlyer Global Redemption Sale today, which offers 20% off all Economy Class and selected Premium Economy Class awards. Spontaneous Escapes will go live on 14 March 2025. |
Special edition of Spontaneous Escapes for March 2025
Earlier this week, Singapore Airlinesโ social media channels teased a special edition of Spontaneous Escapes coming this Friday, 7 March 2025.
The teaser mentions 4 p.m (SGT) as the time to watch, but if past editions of Spontaneous Escapes are anything to go by, award inventory will be loaded ahead of the official release. Therefore, itโs worth checking the website from the morning onwards to see if you can jump the gun.
An early launch of Spontaneous Escapes also gives you some extra time to block your leave arrangements, especially for those whose bosses donโt look too kindly on last-minute requests.
What might we see?
As for what we might see, your guess is as good as mine. However, there have been some special editions of Spontaneous Escapes in the past:
- February 2019: 50% off Economy Saver awards, and Business Saver awards at Economy Saver rates (45-60% off depending on route)
- January 2020: A blockbuster 51% off all awardsโฆthen COVID happened
- March 2022: After a two-year hiatus, Spontaneous Escapes made a return with the usual 30% discount, but an extended travel period for April and May 2022
- August 2023: The usual 30% discount, but with an additional 5% milesback for KrisFlyer UOB Credit and Debit Cardholders
- February 2024: KrisFlyer marked its 25th anniversary with the usual 30% discount, but an extended travel period for March and April 2024. KrisFlyer UOB Credit and Debit Cardholders got 5% milesback again
Iโm personally hoping weโll see discounts in the neighbourhood of 50%, and if Singapore Airlines is feeling particularly generous, an extended travel period covering the next two months.
I hate to be a party pooper, but Iโm just going to say that no, we wonโt be seeing Suites or First Class awards going on sale. These are hard enough to book at the Saver level as it is; your really think Singapore Airlines is going to open a promo category?
If youโre new to all this, or simply need a refresher on the basics, be sure to check out my detailed guide to Spontaneous Escapes. Also be sure to check out KrisFlyer SEAT, a nifty tool thatโs compiled every edition of Spontaneous Escapes to date- itโs useful when planning for future months!
Conclusion
Singapore Airlines will be launching their popular Spontaneous Escapes promotions early this month, with members asked to tune into the airlineโs official social media pages at 4 p.m on Friday, 7 March 2025.
The exact details have yet to be released, but Iโd expect the discount to be larger than the usual 30%, given the โupsizedโ teaser (unless thatโs talking about the number of destinations on offer, which I suppose is possible too).
Stay tuned, and hopefully this wonโt disappoint.
has this been released yet? I cant seem to find any updates
