Question (FARE GONE) Sq: Vie-zrh-sin-akl $4000 (first Class)

Hi all,
I have seen some times posts here and in SQtalk about the great SQ F fare Ex-Austria (Vie-zrh in Y, zrh-sin-akl in F, akl-sin-zrh in F, vie-zrh in Y all for about 4000$) - I have never tried to book it because of lack of time.
However, it seems that this fare disappears May 2008.
Are there other comparable fares Ex Europe in SQ?
Thanks

Is the fare disappearing because of the lack of F to AKL (maybe the lease on the MH 744 is ending and its back to 772 as planned?) Or is the fare being jacked up, like we saw happen with TPE-LAX and multiple other routes over the last few years?

SQ is putting the 77W equipment to AKL and probably that is the reason for the fare?

I VIRTUALLY tried through a travel agent but never actually ticketed it.

JonathanIT - Why is it not the right forum for such a fare?

While I agree with beaubo that this belongs in this forum, I can see where Jonathan comes from.
This isn't normally X CPM mileage run as it involves F fare which costs $4K.

I think it's a fantastic fare given it's for F!

I personally have no interest in flying longhaul in the back for fun anymore.

I'm just sad it's Star and not oneworld or I'd jump on it!

I also wanted to book this trip but when I go to the austrian sq homepage I always get a fare of about 12k euro. How can I book this?

Accourding to sqtalk it is a combination of a Y ticket to ZRH and a F ticket to SIN and a F ticket to AKL...???
