Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer - 53 hour layover

Looking into flights and found a flight on Singapore that travels from NRT to China via Singapore and has a 53 hour layover. Don't suppose they would include overnight accommodations would they?;)

wow this is pretty crazy. is there another flight that goes from NRT to China? If there is, then there can be no accommodations. Is this an MR? Who travels from NRT to China via Singapore? It's like flying from Boston to New York with a stopover in Atlanta.

I have seen cheap deals on Emirates which fly you from SIN to DXB to BOM which is a crazy way to go from SIN to BOM. I guess the OP's itinerary is similar

I'd say this is a dream come true!!

Usually lots of cheap hotel options of every price range in this city. You're gonna have a great time!!

I think SIN-DXB-BOM is still quite ok compare NRT-SIN-PEK

SIN-BOM is 2436 mi
SIN-DXB-BOM is 4831 mi

NRT-PEK is 1330 mi
NRT-SIN-PEK is 6104 mi

I was looking for either a less expensive way to get to my destination. Otherwise the long way would give me a few more miles.

I was just surprised to see a layover in their hub of that length. I'd be willing to go that way and check it out if I could ascertain the cost getting to/from airport and find inexpensive accommodations.

I would be the only one. What do all those people do with that kind of layover??? Is this the kind of thing price line does when people look for super cheap fares?

Plenty of time to take the ferry hit the casinos and shows in Macau!:cool:

I do not know where you are going when you mentioned China. I assume it is either PEK or PVG.

There are 2 flight of NRT - SIN
SQ637 NRT 11:10 SIN 17:20
SQ12 NRT 20:50 SIN 02:55+1 Day

There are 4 flights for SIN-PEK
SQ800 SIN 00:55 PEK 07:05
SQ802 SIN 08:45 PEK 14:55
SQ806 SIN 16:50 PEK 23:00
SQ810 SIN 18:00 PEK 00:10+1 Day

And there are 5 flights for SIN-PVG
SQ826 SIN 01:15 PVG 06:35
SQ828 SIN 08:05 PVG 13:25
SQ830 SIN 10:10 PVG 15:30
SQ832 SIN 12:45 PVG 18:05
SQ836 SIN 17:25 PVG 22:45

Looking at the schedule, you do not have to do 53 hours layover in SIN. I think it is more on the seat availability rather than schedule

Plenty of time to take the ferry hit the casinos and shows in Macau!:cool:

Macau :confused: that goona be some very long boat ride. The OP is talking about NRT-SIN-china not HKG where Macau would be

I guess they could fly to HKG durung their 53 hr layover

Ok for me it was a MR but Ive done LAX-EWR-MSP-EWR-LAX on PMCO a few yrs ago it was $158ai

I'd say this is a dream come true!!

BTW, loved Burma myself.

Any advice on what to see in Singapore for a day?

4. Visit Chinatown / or Singapore Zoo

5. Shop at Orchard Road ( ION Orchard )

6. Eat at any hawker center ( except Newton Tourist Trap ) :)

Thread is going completely OT.

There are no flights that route from NRT to "China" - (where in China btw?) Almost every single SQ destination has daily flights and there would be few with that long of a layover. And if its anything longer than 24 hours, its considered a stopover. Otherwise it's considered a connection. Would OP care to clarify which destinations she's asking for before this thread closes?

Is this "layover" a stopover or connection? I don't really care. My original remark had nothing to do with destination rather a comment about accommodations included.

Forgive my directness but this a ridiculous question. Why on earth would any airline provide assistance to a passenger who deliberately chooses to take the most convoluted route they can think of?

This is a MI flight to Xiamen and it may very well be the "shortest possible" connection using SQ/MI metal. How much sense the itinerary makes is not really the question I would argue.

Either way though, SQ will not provide you with any accommodation for free. You could likely use the SQ Boarding pass privileges program to get a discounted room rate to explore Singapore during your "stopover" as this won't be treated as a connection.

Looking at this , I'd say no accommodation provided. However if you got the website to give you such a routing, you might be able to wrangle something after you have booked it. No guarantees.

The website has been horrible to book anything on since May last year. There is another system upgrade from July 8th when SQ migrates to Amadeus. Things might improve after this. So will be interesting to see if this fare/routing is offered after next week.
