Advice Please: IAH-CGK, best airline
Correction: I am traveling IAH (Houston) -CGK (Jakarta) in July and have several alternatives. I'd appreciate feedback from more experienced travelers.
What is there to do/see in Dubai or Singapore in less than 24 hours?
Which is the best airline for business class?

Aiambak Airport (AIH) - Papua New Guinea
Probably a better idea to use the city/airport names.
Not entirely sure of the difference between "least expensive" and "cheapest", but I'd take Singapore every time. Understandable, tourist friendly and easy to get around: good hotels are expensive, but they really are good. And SQ's miles are useful, the middle-east airlines' generally aren't. And that final hop to Jakarta is an easy hour or so from SINcity.

International Airport Dulles IAD
You should be thankful that you are not a Canadian flyer.
Back to our regular schedule programming:
Between EK and SQ I would flip a coin. Personally I favour a long layover in SIN
vs DBX, but to each their own.
