Whatever happened with your trip?

Had them put in a leg from INC-SIN. There's a 22 hour layover which blows but I'm closer to Kuching. UA basically told me they wouldn't unfilter the LAX-BKK nonstop TG flight and as long as TG showeed it open it was up to UA to fix.

I'm going to check inventory on 1/2 and see if anything opens up on SQ or UA. I'm now working on finding F tiks to burb through the points.

I'll have to eat the Air Asia non-refundables from BKK-KUL and KUL-KCH. $350. I'm always amazed UA thinks they're going to fill up F and C with revs 4 weeks out on what looks like 50% loads in those classes.
