Quick Thoughts

Spontaneous Escapes can sometimes represent very good value. Singapore offers these on routes where they don’t expect to otherwise sell out cabins, but that can sometimes work out really well if you have plans to travel on a particular route. I’ve occasionally booked Spontaneous Escapes to fill in the gaps on near-term trips.

Flights between the US and Asia for ~50K one-way in premium economy can be a good deal, given the excellent on-board experience you’re likely to have with Singapore. Particularly for a daytime flight, getting some extra legroom and decent in-flight entertainment for a modest premium over what many airlines charge in economy class could be very appealing.

That said, we’re not wildly excited about Spontaneous Escapes because of the inflexibility of these bookings. Unlike normal Krisflyer award bookings, you can’t change or cancel them, so you need to be sure that you’re going to take the trip. Since you have to book by the end of this month and travel next month, there’s probably less risk than normal of changing plans.

Despite all that, it can be worth a quick look if you’ll be traveling a route next month that is served by Singapore Airlines.
