Hello all,
Long-time lurker, first-time poster. You guys probably get that a lot :(
Anyway here is my problem:
I am attempting to book a one-way ticket from BLR to LAX on the singaporeairlines website. Once I click the flight I want (there are two to chose from) and click next, it leads me to the page that get's the timeout:
https://www.singaporeair.com/bookingExternal-flow.form?execution=e3s1
Obviously it will look different to you, but this is the URL I see, with a blank page and a heading "select flight - Singapore airlines)
I have been up for the last 3 hours using every browser known to man and nothing works. I am assuming this isn't a problem because of the Indian site as I have yet to enter in my credit card information. A lot of Indian travel sites have this nasty habit of rejecting my US credit cards.
Any help before the fare goes up would be appreciated.
A little bit about me:
I figured I would also add a quick introduction about me. I have been reading flyertalk since I was a teenager and for the last decade or so I would travel to India + another foreign destination every year. I was involved in a car accident 2 years ago that left me with 2 pinched nerves and an old man's body, ever since I haven't been able to sit in that Economy seat, especially for that many hours. I am going back to India this year and the cheapest ticket I found in business class was around 6,600 so I decided to book multiple one-way ticket's and found myself registering on flyertalk.com. I plan to make a very extensive trip report with pictures on my adventures coming up beginning March 19. I wanted to really get a taste for all the different carriers. I have been a life-long devotee of Singapore airlines but turned away from them after being denied miles on my cheap consolidator fare tickets. With that long introduction out of the way, let me tell you about the trip report I will be writing up:
March 20: LAX - Inchon - Hong Kong: Asiana Business Class
.... I will also be writing about my adventures from Hong Kong to Macau and possibly the mainland :)
March 28: Hong Kong - Kuala Lumpur - BLR: Malaysia Airlines Business Class
April 22: BLR - SIN - NRT - LAX: Singapore Airlines Business Class.
I used to read books about the A380 when it was being built and promised myself one day when I have enough money I would enjoy it the way it was meant to be ended. I also wanted my trip to end on the highest note possible, and I know SQ is the carrier to have my faith in, at least I hope it is after all these years. I am spending an extra $1,300 to fly SQ on this route alone.
Had I chosen to go with Cathay back to India my entire trip would have cost $5,500; this is the number I will be pretending I spent on my trip. The additional costs to fly on the SQ A380 after all the money I have spent I think will definitely be worth the additional funds.
Please help me book the last segment of my trip, and let me know if there is anything particular you want me to focus on for my trip reports. My main focus is to compare the long-haul offerings of all 3 providers: Asiana, Malaysia, and Singapore. I have scheduled my trips so at least 1 segment has each carrier's newest most premium product to keep the comparison safe.
Sorry for the long post, but I have been dying to join the community for years :)
