    The Phantom Zone was used by Kryptonians to send many criminals to their imprisonment.  Unfortunately, their banishment saved them once Krypton was destroyed.  I'm wondering why at least a few Kryptonians didn't take advantage of the Phantom Zone to avoid death?  If the choice was between hanging out with criminals or death, I'd take the criminals.

    The Phantom Zone was used that way in Smallville.

    This. Also Kryptonians didn't believe was doomed, that's why they didn't do any preparations to save themselves.

    Yeah for an advanced civilization they sure did pick a whole bouquet of oopsy daisys. I mean we are primitive in our evolution and we know about a comet that's going to hit earth like 14,000 years from now, we're just not worried atm. 
     
    Maybe they did know, but they forgot.

    Were there any comic stories with non-criminals escaping to the Phantom Zone to avoid death?  That'd potentially be a good story.

    Non and Jor-El tried to warn them but the Council wasn't listening to them. They captured Non and stripped him of his intelligence and and let Jor-El since he said that he will stop researching even though he secretly continued. So they were unprepared when the destruction started except for Jor-El.
