Gadzooks.

Is it just a summer pricing blip or what? I have a business trip to EWR coming up in early September and was thinking to fly out of home base in SIN instead of PEK; potentially pay the difference in pricing between PEK-EWR and SIN-EWR. If that's what an economy ticket costs I may not have to worry about SQ SIN-EWR being much more expensive than UA/CO PEK-EWR....

As for your question, after a year in The Jing, always the willingness to pay. Always.
