KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes for July 2019 announced

Book selected awards at 30% off for travel in July 2019.

KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes for July 2019 have been announced, with 30% off selected Singapore Airlines and SilkAir flights.

This month’s Escapes have come out a bit later than usual, giving you ~12 days to lock in your awards. All Spontaneous Escape awards must be booked and ticketed by 30 June 2019 and are for travel between 1-31 July 2019 (both dates inclusive, blackout dates apply).

Ground Rules of Spontaneous Escapes

  • Tickets cannot be changed or cancelled. Be sure about your travel plans or buy a travel insurance policy that covers miles bookings
  • Tickets must be booked online; no phone bookings are permitted
  • Cannot be used in conjunction with the $100 stopover trick 
  • Discounts may apply in one direction only e.g. SIN-BKK may be on discount but BKK-SIN may not. Be sure to read the offers carefully 
  • You must ticket your award during the promotion period. If your waitlist clears after the promotion period ends, you’ll pay the regular price
  • Blackout dates apply. If you’re not seeing discounts, this may be why
  • Your travel must be completed within the Spontaneous Escapes promotion period to qualify. For example, if you fly on the last day of the month but land on the first day of the following month, no discount applies
  • Remember that the discount will only appear once you’ve clicked on the selected award

42 destinations on offer for July 2019

Average does not include Feb-19, which featured 3 US destinations announced in Dec-18’s Spontaneous Escapes

July 2019 features 42 destinations in total (I count Tokyo Haneda and Tokyo Narita as 2 separate destinations), which is slightly above average compared to previous months.

What’s good this month?

Business Class awards to Dusseldorf make a return to Spontaneous Escapes after a prolonged absence of one year. That’s great because Dusseldorf is a mere 1-2 hour flight away from major cities like London, Paris, Barcelona and Rome. Award space is usually wide open, meaning that you can use it as a springboard to the rest of Europe should awards on direct flights not be available.

SIA flies their A350s to Dusseldorf, which means a very comfortable 2013 Business Class seat. Unfortunately, the discount this month is to Dusseldorf only- on the way back you’ll need to pay full price.

If Europe’s too far (or too hot) for a vacation in July, most of SQ’s Japan destinations are discounted for travel in July, and all (except Hiroshima) are available in Business class, and Tokyo in particular is a great pick at 32.9K miles one-way.

Closer to home, Bangkok is available once more, and you’ll get to try the 2018 Regional Business Class on not one, not two but three daily flights (SQ970, SQ978, SQ982). It’s an excellent product for such a short flight, as I reviewed recently. I generally don’t recommend redeeming miles for short haul premium cabins, but if you want to treat yourself, you could do worse with 15.05K miles one-way.

If you’ve been eyeing Singapore Airline’s latest A380 cabin products, the only destination that has them this month is Shanghai (SQ830/833). 27.3K miles for a 5.5 hour flight may not be the best deal in the world, but when the seat is this good it’s hard to argue.

Dubai and Johannesburg are once more on sale- they’re already a sweet spot at the regular price of 49K miles for Business Class, and the discounted price of 34.3K miles is just the icing on the cake. That said, I don’t think too many would like to brave July weather in Dubai…

I know it’s the dead of winter in Australia right now, but temperatures are somewhat milder in Brisbane, and 7.5 hours of Business Class comfort in Singapore Airlines’s 2013 Business Class product for 43.4K miles isn’t too bad. Do note that the discount only applies from Brisbane to Singapore; you’ll pay full price on the outbound leg.

It’s not a good idea to use your miles for Premium Economy redemptions, and Spontaneous Escapes don’t do anything to change that. You’re better off saving up a little bit more for a Business Class Spontaneous Escape, given the big gap in comfort and small gap in miles.

Conclusion

Spontaneous Escapes are a great way of stretching your miles, especially if you’re traveling with your family. Remember to ticket your awards before 30 June!
