Well the CMB - SAN - CMB is pricing out right now at around $1700 for "D" class and SAN - SIN - CMB is pricing out at around $900. So if you pay for both flights to and from, it would cost you around $2600 for airfare. If you shop around, I'm sure you can get it lower.
Many people do this with an award ticket getting them to and from the states with the "D" class in the middle.
But the idea of visiting SIN and ensuring I retain my 1k status again next year was well worth it for me. Now I'm looking into doing this again next year.
Stay tuned for the dates and times and maybe I'll be meeting someone again there.
