All booked. Into KUL on 16th, out of SIN on 21st. Long haul is NH First plus managed to mix in TG First with time for BKK Royal First Lounge and CX First with time for HKG Wing and Pier.
Open to hotel suggestions for KUL and SIN. Leaning towards KUL Ritz as stayed there before and enjoyed it.

If you have Hilton points, the Doubletree is a great deal at 10,000 points/night
For SIN, most people stay at the Grand Hyatt or the Conrad. Both are very nice.

I am definitely in, partial flights booked, but will be arriving Friday afternoon, departing early Monday. Hotel still in the air ... Fairmont is a maybe (still have certs and gift cards to redeem, but loss of lounge access hurts), or possibly Marriott group. We'll see.

I'll be there. Wasn't sure of dates. Booked wrong flight dates in order to maximize time in SE Asia. Looking for new flights - but I will be there for SIN and BKK. Maybe not KUL though.

Yay - Singapore!
I'm in for 2019! Flights are booked for the main 'Do! Not sure about hotels -- either the Marriott or my beloved Keong Saik Hotel in Chinatown!
