As always, seat availability is on a first-come, first-served basis and Spontaneous Escapes is one of the ways, Singapore Airlines give back to their KrisFlyer members. Now you may already know this but Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members can now redeem their miles for award space (including Suites!) on Singapore Airlines and that has actually caused a number of KrisFlyer (and PPS Club) members to be upset.
