That seems really high to me -- anyone have any thoughts on how to get the cost down -- or will it come down as we get closer to the dates?
I have found this in general, I think from EWR part of the problem is the first leg is often booked up. I was looking for 11/25 departure to SIN right after Thanksgiving, on UA was not finding anything below $12k, and that was mostly on ANA as well, since I already made 1K I was able to book on SQ for $6.5k, I still can't get my head around having to fly SQ because UA is to expensive... I will earn less RDM, but I will get to fly SQ, vs non Polaris seat UA, so I am very happy. My coworkers all fly ME airlines for this reason.
