I suppose that starting ex-CGK would give me regional F at least (DPS is C only?).

Maybe I should try to get a SIN-Europe 77W flight in F (how much is the upgrade from FRWSTAR?).

Ok. And since there is no F to R paid upgrades I might as well skip the A380 altogether (or try NRT-SIN in A380 C).

LX BKK-SIN reportedly has poor service.
Ok. ICN-HKG is listed as F in the Star Alliance F flight list but it might be old.

Seems you will only have a couple of longhaul (non-regional) F flights.
Surface sector in NYC is fine - I might go to the Striphouse for a "classic Chateaubriand" and a night at the Millenium Hilton.

Deciding between shorthaul (trying most carriers, many lounges, many flights) and longhaul (full F experience) is difficult and you guys now this stuff better than me.
