Singapore - BKK-SIN Cost in Business

What is a good fare between BKK-SIN in business during March & what carrier would you recommend? Thank you.

I know it's not helping much, but you just missed a great TG J oneway fare for BKK-SIN, which was available until some days ago. It was ~5000 Baht for a fully flexible ticket. There is a thread somewhere at miles&points section.

That would have been nice!

TG does run fare sales from time to time. CX also has decent fares, though in my experience you only get a deal if you buy roundtrip. For example, I've seen one-ways at around $500 BKK-SIN in J, but throw in the return SIN-BKK and the fare only goes up to about $630. CX runs both ways around mid-day, the middle segment of overlapping triangle routes HKG-SIN-BKK-HKG and HKG-BKK-SIN-HKG.

A couple of years ago, CX was even cheaper. You might get good deals still through travel agents in BKK.

Unfortunately, some of the carriers that kept J fares low on this route have withdrawn from service. For example, three years ago, you could get BKK-SIN-vv on Swiss for under $400. Alas, Swiss has dropped the route.

There were many EU airline whole fly to SE Asia and due to the load, flying to BKK and SIN using the same equipment made sense.

The cheap BKK/SIN fare was probably not making their local alliance members happy.

Oh yeah, that one was brilliant. I think it was 2007 or 2008 when I grabbed BKK-SIN segment one-way in LX C for about US$300. Nice plane and great food/service on that route. I cried when it got dropped. :(

here are some one-way fares to give you an idea

Thanks for all the responses. I am going to leave Singapore out of my trip and go to Hong Kong instead.

For the record try RJ.
