Singapore Airlines is celebrating Singaporeโs 60th birthday with a series of fare promotions and special offers that kick off this month.
Highlights include special SG60 fare deals for Singapore Airlines and Scoot flights, a 60% bonus on mileage accrual (but only for Scoot, sadly) additional discounts for KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes, and special meals on flights out of Singapore.
Thereโs a lot to cover here, so think of this post as a quick summary. Iโll be publishing dedicated articles for some of these promotions in the days to come, so stay tuned.

SG60 fare deals for SIA and Scoot
Singapore Airlines will be offering special SG60 fare deals from Singapore to 77 destinations worldwide, for bookings made through its website, mobile app and appointed travel agents.
- Booking period: 11-24 April 2025
- Travel period: 12 April to 19 November 2025
Customers who book tickets under this promotion stand a chance to win a pair of SIA Business Class round-trip tickets with hotel accommodation to Seoul, and S$600 worth of Pelago vouchers. Details of the draw will be published on SIAโs website on 11 April 2025.
Scoot will also be offering its own SG60 fare deals from Singapore to 60 destinations worldwide, for bookings made through its website, mobile app and appointed travel agents.
- Booking period: 8-17 April 2025
- Travel period: 14 April 25 October 2025
For the month of May, Scootโs Gotta Scoot Tuesday promotion will be extended to 60 hours (instead of the usual one day or so), and a 60-hour flash deal will also be offered in June 2025.
Upsized KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes
KrisFlyer members can look forward to additional discounts for the August 2025 edition of Spontaneous Escapes, which will run for 60 hours from 15 August 2025, 12 p.m to 17 August 2025, 11.59 p.m. This will cover travel from 1-30 September 2025.
We donโt know how generous the discount will be (is 60% too much to hope for?), but Iโd guess itโll be at least on par with the 40% we saw last month to celebrate KrisFlyerโs 10 millionth member.
Donโt get too excitedโ thereโs still a while to go before this happens!
60% bonus miles for Scoot flights
KrisFlyer members who book Scoot flights between 15 August 2025, 12 p.m to 17 August 2025, 11.59 p.m will enjoy a 60% bonus on mileage accrual.
Unfortunately, thereโs no equivalent offer for Singapore Airlines flightsโunlike the 50% bonus offered to both SIA and Scoot flyers during the KrisFlyer 10-million-member celebration.
As a reminder, Scoot customers can earn KrisFlyer miles on base fare (excluding fees and taxes) and add-ons like meals, seat selection and baggage. The regular accrual rate is 1 KrisFlyer mile per S$1 spent, but Singapore Airlines elite members enjoy a 25% accrual bonus.
Therefore, members can expect to earn 1.6 KrisFlyer miles per S$1 spent, before any elite bonuses. Itโs unclear whether there will be any cap, but if there is then 5,000 would be my guess.
SG60 vouchers for Pelago and Kris+

From 11-24 April 2025, Pelago will offer S$60 off selected attractions, tours and transport options worldwide for bookings made on pelago.com. A special promo code will be sent via SIAโs and KrisFlyerโs eDM from 11 April 2025 onwards.
From 1-31 August 2025, Kris+ will be offering SG60 vouchers valued at S$6 and S$60 for use at participating dining and retail partners.
Special lounge and inflight meals
Singapore Airlines will serve several classic Singapore hawker dishes on selected flights departing from Singapore.
| Cabin | Period |
| Suites, First and Business Class | 1 July to 30 September 2025 |
| Premium Economy and Economy Class | 1 August to 30 September 2025 |
Suites, First Class and Business Class passengers can look forward to fried carrot cake, roti prata, and dry bak chor mee, as well as a Singaporean dessert. Premium Economy and Economy Class passengers can choose a Singaporean main dish from the menu, and a Singaporean dessert.
The SilverKris Lounges at Changi Terminals 2 and 3 will also feature hawker dishes in August 2025.
I have fond memories of the Singapore Airlinesโ past hawker collaborations with names like Chew Kee Soya Sauce Chicken Noodle, Song Heng Bak Chor Mee and Kok Kee Wanton Mee. There was a period in 2023 where I ordered these items religiously โ never mind the keyboard warriors who derided these as โunworthyโ of First Class โ because I liked them so much.
However, after the tie-up ended, SATS took over with their own recipes and the quality really went downhill from there. The hawker items Iโve ordered in recent months have verged on inedible, and I wouldnโt recommend it now (is it any wonder that SIA is casting sideways glances at Accor for its lounges?).
Conclusion
Singapore Airlines and Scoot have announced a series of promotions to celebrate Singaporeโs 60th birthday, with the SG60 fare deals and upsized Spontaneous Escapes probably of greatest interest to most readers. Youโll need to wait a few more months for the Spontaneous Escapes deal, but the SG60 fare deals will launch imminently.
There will also be special hawker meals to look forward to in the lounges and onboard flights, with additional Singapore-centric programming in the KrisWorld inflight entertainment system.
If youโre interested in any of these deals, you might want to follow Singapore Airlines and KrisFlyer on social media so you can get updated once they go live.
Iโd be well upset to have a hawker meal in business or first!!
and iโd agree- if that were my only choice. but itโs one of several choices, so if you donโt like it, nothingโs stopping you from having lobster thermidor.
Itโd definitely be upsetting if the food served was inedible due to poor ingredients and prep. More so for hawker dishes where, presumably, the airline would have the budget to get it right.
When flying premium cabin on SQ, I enjoy the privilege of eating whatever I want from the BTC menu. I always opt for a hawker dish or satay as the main whenever it is available from the port of departure, because it is comfort food (especially on long-haul flights to European/US cities). Finer cuisine can be had on the ground.
The real delta in terms of flying premium cabin imo is the champagne.
I just like to be able to sleep comfortably and quick service for a hot snack or a cold drink. The meals on SQ arenโt that great anyway and we get much better food and drink on the ground, even if we have to pay for it. The real luxury is more comfort and privacy for time better-spent, in my case, resting.
I always skip meals on business, the real delta is the bed!
What are you guys talking about, the real delta is all of it!* ๐ โ the champagne, the bed, the hawker fare, the thermidor (honestly, i think lobsters on the ground tastes better)
*definitely not delta airlines
I turn 60 on the same day as Singapore! I wonder whether SQ would give me some extra special discounts? ๐ ๐ ๐
