      Travel needs to be between 1-31 March 2019 (as stated in the title and description).

      March is not april.

      It is a new scheme from sing air for ladt minute or spontaneous redemption, so it will only be 2 weeks before the month.

    • PaperplaneXXX on 18/02/2019 - 20:55

      for March I mean

      • [Deactivated] on 18/02/2019 - 21:01

        You might need to play around with dates and flights. Some flights were showing the normal rate for me while others had the discount.

        You need to choose saver fares, and discount will be applied then.

  • zed264 on 18/02/2019 - 21:05

    Great deal, but hard to travel last minute like this. I usually plan travelling at least 6 months in advance :(.

      Still plenty of availability from what I can see. Make sure you're selecting your flight with the radio button under the Saver rates — the discount will then show under Booking Summary.

      • sw0rdy on 18/02/2019 - 21:16

          The radio button is clicked and is in orange. You'll see the discount is applied in the Booking Summary in the top right-hand corner.

    where can I earn KrisFlyer Miles?

    • RichardF89 on 18/02/2019 - 21:19

      can I transfer qantas points to KrisFlyer Miles?

      • z28 on 18/02/2019 - 22:01

        No. You can with Velocity (Virgin) points.

        • budgetman on 18/02/2019 - 22:15

          1.55 velocity to 1 Krisflyer

    • budgetman on 18/02/2019 - 22:21
      +2

      Amex, Platinum edge is best. 3 points per $1 spend at supermarkets, 2 points per $1 spend at major fuel outlets and 1 point for everything else with the exception of Telstra and gov agencies…..0.5

      Transfer from ascent rewards to Krisflyer.

      Currently when you transfer from ascent to KF it is 1 for 1

      Note that there is a devaluation in April, then the transfer rate is 2 to 1 KF

      • xrailgun on 19/02/2019 - 14:49

        It sounds like those who aren't in the system are kinda too late to really take advantage of this, then?

        How much will 3 points (soon ~1.5 points) with AMEX be worth in $? I want to compare it against 5% off gift cards.

  • jacktator on 18/02/2019 - 21:12

    Saw it Saturday night, requested leave and got approved in the morning, then immediately booked SYD-SIN return Biz Saver flights for 2 people, estimated to pay 112,000 points and 344 in taxes.

    Great way to use some points before Amex devalues in April. If successful, it will be my first biz class flight ever, and it could be redeem more than 8c per point!

    Note, for Krisflyer Redemption, you do not need any miles to make the booking. You can find the flight first, call them and have it booked over the phone (Confirm or Waitlist), wait out the waitlist, and only pay once all journeys are confirmed.

    I booked mine in the morning and paid nothing, account has 0 miles. Departing journey is on Waitlist but Returning is already Confirmed(but left unpaid).

    Now just waiting till the end of Feb (when booking period is ending), and only if all flights are confirmed, then I transfer from Amex to Krisflyer, and pay, risk-free. Otherwise, cancel all bookings for free, and wait for the next trip.

    • tunzafun001 on 18/02/2019 - 21:50

      Game changer! How long does the Amex kk transfer take?

      • jacktator on 18/02/2019 - 22:04

        Never done it yet personally, but heard it's about 1-2 biz days.

      • budgetman on 18/02/2019 - 22:14

        less than 24 hours although Amex says longer

    • UberIsCool on 18/02/2019 - 22:58

      When does the wait list become confirmed?

      • jacktator on 18/02/2019 - 23:04

        Was told, if no Confirmation SMS/Email was received 14 days before departure, it's likely you're not gonna get it.
        And you only need to pay after the confirmation. So just wait for it, but make sure to book before Feb ends.

        • UberIsCool on 18/02/2019 - 23:10

          So nothing is confirmed, sounds like airline staff travel, I want to travel March 1st so may not be able to do the transfer in time

          • jacktator on 18/02/2019 - 23:22

            @UberIsCool: If you have a fixed date you need to fly, then better buy and pay with cash, it's certain.

            We're going for holidays, and we don't mind going one day or two early or later, or not going at all. haha.

            Would be great it we made it though

    • klassicklaz on 19/02/2019 - 09:22

      I called them this morning and they classified a booking over the phone to be offline and said they would charge an extra $25USD. Did you incur this extra cost?

      • jacktator on 19/02/2019 - 10:02

        That's wired, no extra charge for me.

      • jacktator on 19/02/2019 - 13:01
        +6

        I called in again, they mentioned the fee as well. Here's the thing. You can reserve the seat first with 0 down payment, and only when you are ready to pay, then they charge you the $25 USD. And offline booking is not part of the promotion.

        I've found and reserved two available return seats, and now transferred Amex MR to Krisflyer. The offline reservation is to ensure I have seats, when I need them. You can make as many reservation as you want for free, and wait to see which one works out the best. It's like insurance, but free.

        Once miles arrives in KrisFlyer account, I'll cancel the offline reservation (via web page), those seats will be instantly released (tested), and I'll book it using points, online, using the promo.

    • jacktator on 19/02/2019 - 11:06

      Correction: Phone booking does not participate in the promotion! Online Booking only!

    • manja on 19/02/2019 - 18:12

      I just called to make the booking and after spending 20 minutes the guy said I have make online booking if I want to use "KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escape". The booking will attract full miles if I proceed with him. I am not sure if it is true or I got a lemon.

      • jayel on 19/02/2019 - 18:58

        True, but you can still reserve over phone and cancel online when you are ready to book

        • manja on 19/02/2019 - 20:44

          thank you so much.

    Is it me or do QFF flights charge way more in tax? Just tried SYD-SIN and it's 55k (return, economy)points + $340 tax.

    • nightelves on 18/02/2019 - 23:32

    • [Deactivated] on 18/02/2019 - 23:43

      Fuel surcharges are the likely reason. KrisFlyer eliminated them for redemptions on SQ flights back in 2017.

      Assuming you have AMEX Plat Edge, buy 5k AMEX MR points and transfer to Krisflyer at 1:1. Will cost you $125 (1000MR = $25)

      • Maxxjet on 19/02/2019 - 22:22

    So… does this promotion actually apply to travel dates outside of March? If I search dates in December etc, I seem to also see 50% off. Or am I doing it wrong..

      Example of route and date?

      • watwatwat on 23/02/2019 - 23:27

        Sorry, I was mistaken. I got confused by the booking process and I still am not sure of how this works.

        So if you choose a route and it shows 56k miles for each direction of a return flight, once you pick an outbound and inbound flight the total ends up being 56k? Why does it not add them together?

        • Sharp on 25/02/2019 - 09:30
