Nice find! Looks like this fare is available in November too. Looks like DL has a similar fare at $987 r/t. AA isn't bad at $1,150 r/t.

I like it but also there has been some decent fares to HKG floating around. AC has a sale at something like 15% off so I picked up IAH-YYZ-HKG for 820. at 18k miles I think it is a similar value and personally much prefer HKG to SIN.

Sigh, yet another fare that doesn't work in reverse, can't seem to get anywhere near $900+ for SIN-EWR-IAH-SFO-SIN or SIN-SFO-IAH-EWR-SIN.

This doesn't appear to work for a quick MR. If the stay is < 2 days the fare seems to hike up to $6k

International fares rarely if ever "work" in reverse.

You can also get it for $504 if you know how to trick it. See the other thread on that.

The moxie? Pretty sure they cancel your remaining legs if you don't fly the first leg on the ticket...
