ImmanuelEvery month Singapore Airlines releases a list of discounted saver award destinations called “Spontaneous Escapes”. The awards on offer are being discounted by 30% compared to their normal “saver” pricing, which makes for a fantastic bargain.
Spontaneous Escape awards need to be booked before the end of the month prior to the month of travel so when the new list is released you have until the end of the month.
Some blackout dates apply to the list of discounted awards so keep that in mind when you’re booking. It’s also important to note that Spontaneous Escape tickets are non-changeable and cannot be cancelled. This is unlike regular award tickets which allow you a refund or date change for a small fee. It’s just a small detail to keep in mind when you’re feeling… spontaneous!
Another caution for the Spontaneous Escape discount tickets is that if you decide to join the waitlist during the sale month and if your flight doesn’t clear before the end of the month, you will be charged at the regular price.
