7/6 - SIN-CAN
7/6 - CAN-LAX (again on A380)
120,000 Skypesos + a moderately offensive $375 taxes/fees each
Was (of course) unable to find any low availability for myself from either DAY, CVG, or LEX to LAX. None for SO either from BDL, JFK, LGA, EWR or PVD... So will have to either pay for that ticket or use another airline to get out to LAX.
LEX-LAX has seats via DTW (low economy) available on 22 June.

Which KE flight? If you have ExpertFlyer, look at what they're selling for revenue seats on the flight. If it shows J class, it's flat beds in 2-3-2 arrangement on the 772. If it shows C class, it's angled flat (2-3-2). The flat seats are great, but the angled not so much.

I'd call CZ and ask them for your record locator with your ticket number, flight, name, etc. I don't know if they can assign a seat for you, but I know you won't get it through DL and getting a partner PNR from a DL agent is such a crap shoot that I generally won't even try any more.
