managed to snag BKK-SIN-EWR one-way in Feb for 45,950 THB ($1280.97 USD).
Was not able to book on the website with any credit card, and the paypal link kept returning a "this merchant does not accept this form of payment" error message. I downloaded the Singapore Airlines app, tried it from scratch on there, and the booking went through (with cc) on the first try! Irritating process, but it all worked in the end.
Looking forward to my first time on SQ.
