Currently it's possible that SQ is one of the airlines that joined the boycott of Russian airspace. If that's the case, this flight can no longer go over the North Pole.
It's no longer a polar flight. It flies further south on the eastbound journey now than a flight to London. Westbound it flies south of Alaska to avoid Russian airspace.
For me, in the Southeastern US, it costs less and takes less time to get to Atlanta than JFK.
This fare is also available from Miami, except the price is quite steep at $3696 roundtrip!
Or you can fly out of Seattle - $1917 roundtrip
San Francisco - $1917 roundtrip
Las Vegas - $1917 roundtrip
