Spontaneous Escapes
Book by 30 Sep 2026. Travel only 1–31 Oct 2026. Selected Saver awards, about 30% off. Europe examples skip Geneva and Zurich.
Oct–Dec 2026 · Singapore → Lausanne
A shared brief for October through December. Geneva is the short train to campus. This month’s KrisFlyer miles cover London, Paris, and Milan — not Geneva or Zurich — so cash fares plus HSBCDEAL are the Switzerland play.
Propose only. Nothing on this page books a seat. Sample weeks are Google Flights in SGD, checked 29 Sep 2026 MYT. SIA promo floors were checked 29 Sep 2026, 21:31 MYT. Google Flights is a scout beside those floors. October is the cheapest best-cash week.
Geneva is the short train to EPFL. The blue arcs bow apart so Zurich stays visible too. They are a sketch, not flight tracks.
Book-by dates
The useful Switzerland discounts close in the first week of October. Miles close sooner, and they do not land you in Geneva or Zurich.

7 Oct
Book 29 Sep–7 Oct 2026. Outbound through 31 Mar 2027. About SGD 810 is the Germany board (Frankfurt and Munich), not Geneva or Zurich. Australia is about SGD 571. The SGD 198 graphic is not the United States.
What we’re optimizing for
Visit a friend at EPFL (Lausanne). Cash Google Flights plus the Singapore Airlines site. Miles Spontaneous Escapes this month cover London, Paris, Milan, and similar cities, but not Geneva or Zurich. Cash fares plus HSBCDEAL — S$60 off, and not for Southeast Asia — are the better bet for Switzerland.
On the ground
EPFL sits in Lausanne. The cheaper ticket is not always the shorter day. Zurich can win on fare and still cost half an afternoon on the train.
Often a one-stop on Turkish or Qatar. Singapore Airlines nonstop is less common here than into Zurich.
Singapore Airlines nonstop is more common to Zurich, and usually pricier than the cheapest one-stop.
