You guys convinced me to do the A340, assuming that the Xanax will get me a good night's sleep on the way there. Those birds won't be around much longer as SQ is dropping them and you may never see these super-long-haul flights again, so best to get them today. So, now if I can only get SQ's wacky web booking engine to work right....

Nicely written. Thanks!
