Everyone seems to be coming together. Good work by lowjhg and bschaff1. You have truly outdone yourselves already!
Compared to most U.S. domestic airlines, nothing is too horrible. You need to come to the northern hemisphere more often.

I was looking all over the place for the 2014 post DO, and realized that with the Marriott/UA alliance, there will be an abundance of hotels for FTers to choose from. Phuket offers Marriott, SPG, PC, and Hilton plus the flights are cheap and plentiful. I may make a separate thread for the Post DO portion, but will link to that if I do.
Any advice where the bulk of the herd will stay in Phuket based on the last time? Also which flight from SIN to HKT to book. The hotels look a bit scattered.

Thanks.

Bookings are not being accepted for that HR yet. I asked when reservations would open and they did not know.

Never done a DO. Mrs CRP and I were actually looking at SIN (or CDG) for a short vacay in January to begin with so put me +1 in the interested column. Won't confirm flights until ~ 24 hrs prior so as much as I'd like to check out Singapore Airlines from just inside the outside, I won't be able to do that. Neither of us has been to SIN so food/drinks a couple times may be fun in addition to normal touristy stuff. No HKT for us either: Mrs CRP is khon Thai and we're heading to BKK/CNX in April already...

Scouring for good hotels ...

Please add me to the confirmed 'Yes' list! So excited! Just booked my award ticket today and it's a beaut!

Will probably not be able to squeeze Phuket in (as much as I'd like to) so definitely hoping for the SQ tour since it's my first SIN Do! I was in Singapore last year but for various and sundry health reasons, didn't think I could keep up with a Do crowd. Now that I'm 'back', can't wait for the SIN Do just to fly these airlines - EVA, Thai, and ANA - meet some new friends, and see some of the old!

I'm excited. I just booked my ticket to the main DO. I'm stopping in HKG for a few days on the way over and arriving on CX flight around 8PM on 1/16. I'm keeping a watch out to see if 1/15 opens up. I'm trying to get in F on the CX 747 before it gets phased out (cant remember if its the whole plane or just the cabin).
