The question is - how many Joe-off-the-streets were on your flight?
I work for one of the worlds largest telecom companies and SQ is one of our perferred airlines. For that I paid $7,500 LAX-SIN-EWR and my flight in April I paid $7,000 for EWR-SIN-EWR. Of course I could get the ticket alittle cheaper but I leave on premium days. I would love to see PE on this route but I don't see is as from what I have seen SQ is doing fine with all C.
