Singapore Airlines Spontaneous Escapes: 30% Off Award Flights for March 2026

Singapore Airlines has just dropped its latest KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes promotion for March 2026, and there are some genuinely excellent deals this month — including London to Singapore in economy for just 30,800 KrisFlyer miles one-way. If you've been sitting on Amex Membership Rewards points and wondering when to pull the trigger on a transfer, this could be your moment.

Every month, Singapore Airlines releases a list of discounted award flights through their KrisFlyer programme, offering 30% off Saver award rates across selected routes in economy, premium economy, and business class. It's their way of filling seats on flights with spare capacity, and for those of us who can be flexible with travel dates, it's one of the best recurring deals in the points and miles world.

The catch? These are non-refundable and non-changeable once booked, so you'll need to be certain about your travel plans before committing. Travel insurance that covers miles and points bookings is strongly recommended.

Here's what you need to know at a glance:

Discount: 30% off KrisFlyer Saver award rates Booking window: 13th February – 28th February 2026 Travel period: 1st – 31st March 2026 Booking channels: singaporeair.com or SingaporeAir mobile app only Flexibility: None — non-refundable and non-changeable Blackout dates: Vary by route (check the full list carefully)

Seats are released on a first-come, first-served basis, so if something catches your eye, don't hang about.

Let's cut straight to what matters most for those of us based in the UK.

This is the headline deal for UK-based collectors. London Heathrow to Singapore is available in economy for 30,800 KrisFlyer miles one-way (down from the standard 44,000 miles). Singapore Airlines operates multiple daily flights from Heathrow on their A380, 777-300ER, and A350 fleet, so you've got a solid choice of aircraft. The blackout dates cut in from 18th March onwards, so aim for early-to-mid March travel if you can.

Even in economy, Singapore Airlines is a step above most carriers — decent food, good entertainment, and a generally pleasant experience. If you're planning a trip to Southeast Asia or Australia, this could serve as a fantastic positioning flight.

If London doesn't work for your dates, several other European cities also feature in economy at the same 30,800 miles rate, including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Milan, Munich, Paris, Rome, and Zurich. Some of these also appear in premium economy at 52,150 miles — notably Brussels, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Munich, and Zurich. Handy if you're already planning a European hop with Avios before connecting onto Singapore.

Unfortunately, London doesn't feature in business class this month (it rarely does during popular travel periods, since Singapore Airlines uses Spontaneous Escapes to fill underperforming routes). However, there are still some cracking business class deals from Singapore onward if you're building a multi-stop itinerary:

Singapore to Bali (Denpasar): 15,400 miles — An absolute steal. Singapore Airlines' regional business class on the 787-10 or A350 is a lovely experience for a short hop to Bali. At this price, it's a no-brainer. Singapore to Bangkok: 17,500 miles — Another brilliant deal for a short-haul business class experience on the 787-10. Singapore to Brisbane or Cairns: 50,400 miles — If you fancy continuing to Australia, this represents solid value for a medium-haul business class flight. Singapore to Darwin: 29,750 miles — A lesser-known route that offers great value in business class on the 737 MAX. Singapore to Delhi: 31,500 miles — Operated on the A380 with the excellent 2017 business class product. This is one of the standout deals if availability lines up.

Some of the best economy deals from Singapore are ideal for extending a trip after arriving from the UK:

Singapore to Bali: 5,600 miles — Yes, you read that right. A one-way flight to Bali for fewer than 6,000 miles is exceptional value. Singapore to Bangkok or Phuket: 9,100 miles — Thailand on the cheap with Singapore Airlines. Singapore to Sydney: 20,300 miles — On the A380, no less. Subject to blackout dates, but worth checking. Singapore to Johannesburg: 22,400 miles — An interesting option for those eyeing a South Africa trip. Singapore to Dubai: 22,400 miles — Useful for a stopover en route back to the UK.

Singapore Airlines operates a unique fifth freedom route between Frankfurt and New York JFK (flights SQ25/SQ26 on a 777-300ER). This month, it's available in both economy at 19,250 miles and premium economy at 39,900 miles. It's a fantastic way to cross the Atlantic on a top-tier airline at discounted rates, and you can even combine it with a cheap Avios flight from London to Frankfurt to make it work from the UK. Use our Avios flight cost tool to check how many Avios you'd need for the London to Frankfurt leg.

Here's the practical bit for UK-based points collectors. Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer is a transfer partner of American Express UK Membership Rewards at a ratio of 3 Membership Rewards points to 2 KrisFlyer miles (effectively 1,000 MR = 667 KrisFlyer miles). It's not the most generous ratio, but for deals like these, the maths can still work out well.

To illustrate: the London to Singapore economy deal at 30,800 KrisFlyer miles would require approximately 46,200 Amex MR points. If you're holding the Amex Gold or Amex Platinum, that's very achievable, especially if you've recently earned a welcome bonus. Check out our best Amex card guide if you're not sure which card suits you.

Another option is transferring Marriott Bonvoy points to KrisFlyer at a ratio of 3:1 (with a bonus of 5,000 miles when you transfer 60,000 Bonvoy points in a single transaction). This can be useful if you're sitting on a large Bonvoy balance, though it's generally not the most efficient use of hotel points.

I've been keeping an eye on Spontaneous Escapes for a while now, and this month's list is decent — particularly the London inclusion in economy. We don't always see London on the list, so when it does appear, it's worth paying attention.

The real sweet spot for UK travellers is combining a discounted London-Singapore flight with one of the cheap onward connections. Imagine flying London to Singapore for 30,800 miles, then hopping to Bali for just 5,600 miles. That's London to Bali for 36,400 KrisFlyer miles in economy on one of the world's best airlines. For context, a standard British Airways economy redemption to Bali using Avios would set you back 40,000+ Avios one-way (since BA doesn't fly there directly), and likely involve a less comfortable routing.

That said, the non-refundable/non-changeable restriction is the biggest drawback. If there's any chance your plans might shift, this isn't the deal for you. I've seen too many people book Spontaneous Escapes on a whim only to regret it when dates change. Make sure your plans are locked in before committing.

A few practical tips to help you secure the best deals:

Search for one person first — this maximises your chances of seeing Promo availability, as seats are limited and searching for two or more passengers requires that many Promo seats on the same flight. Book one-way tickets — if the discount only applies in one direction, book two separate one-way tickets. You'll get the 30% discount on one leg and pay the standard Saver rate on the other, which still saves you 15% overall. Use the award calendar — Singapore Airlines' booking interface lets you view a month at a glance, making it easy to spot dates with Promo availability. Look for the 'Promo' fare category — this sits alongside Saver, Advantage, and Access when you search. If it doesn't appear, that specific flight's Spontaneous Escapes allocation has sold out (though it can reappear later). Transfer miles before booking — allow time for Amex UK transfers to reach your KrisFlyer account. While Amex to KrisFlyer transfers are typically processed within a few days, don't leave it to the last minute.

If you've already booked a KrisFlyer award on a flight that's now featured in Spontaneous Escapes, you can potentially rebook at the lower rate. The trick is to book the new Promo fare first (you'll need enough miles in your account for a second booking), then cancel the original. Don't cancel first — the Promo space might vanish while you're waiting for the refund to process.

If you're planning a trip using these Spontaneous Escapes deals alongside Avios for connecting flights, here are some tools that might help:

Award Travel Finder — search for award availability across multiple airlines Smart Redemptions — see how many points flights cost alongside Google Flights results Great Circle Mapper — measure distances between airports (useful for understanding distance-based award pricing) Airport Lounge List — check lounge options for your Singapore layover

Singapore Airlines Spontaneous Escapes remain one of the best monthly promotions in the loyalty world, and this March edition has some genuinely strong deals for UK travellers. London to Singapore at 30,800 miles in economy is the headline, but the real value comes from stacking it with cheap onward connections to Southeast Asia, Australia, or even South Africa.

If you can travel in March and your dates are firm, head over to the Singapore Airlines Spontaneous Escapes page and see what's available. Remember, you have until 28th February to book, but the best availability won't last long.

Happy booking!
