what happen if i am on the waitlist now?

when i get clear the waitlist, do i get the ticket at the discounted price?

how long does waitlist take to clear?

Wait list need to be clear by 28/2 in order to enjoy the discount rate .
Waitlist might or might not clear. And now waitlist are remove 14 days before the flight date.

Is that "Spontaneous Escapes" a monthly thing now, or does it only happen occasionally?

If it comes back on a monthly basis I might wait till April to plan a getaway in May assuming some interesting destination will be available.

Sorry, first time trying to redeem Krisflyer miles. Can check what are the chances of redeem 2 way return business flight for a family of 4 e.g to London or New York? Currently, having 630K of miles to be used. Thanks.

Very tough you need to book way ahead for those routes. I booked my London business class 11 months ahead. I checked a few days later it was all on waitlist already (but how many waitlist they clear eventually I’ve no idea). Can imagine NYC is the same, perhaps can try premium economy for the direct NYC route

You meant after selecting the flight options, proceed to the next screen then error ?

I get the same issue with partner airline redemption, I just give KF Hotline a ring, get it done through the phone.

Based on current new krisflyer miles devaluation, I think the value per 1k miles in my opinion is $15
