Thank you all so much for replying and for your suggestions. We have almost 1.5M miles so I think that should be enough for 2 x adults and 1 x infant (actually he will be 18 months by then) who we are thinking of taking on an infant ticket.
I like the sound of the Virgin business class as it is more direct. Do you have any airline recommendations or other re taking our 18 month old? Is taking him on our lap ridiculous?
thanks again.
1.5M, then you might consider paying for standard award with SQ and fly directly into JFK in business. That would cost you 612,000 miles. If you take Virgin you are looking at close to 500K after the conversion plus another 50K+ for LAX-JFK. When you land in LAX you would have to clear custom then walk over to the US domestic terminal. With SQ you are on the same plane from SIN-JFK with a short stop in FRK. And with that much miles, you might be able to downgrade to saver if that opens up closer to departure. Checking recent availability, that chance is pretty high.
