Looking at the activities/schedule I'll just miss out making any of them.

Arriving SIN late on the Friday and departing early Saturday.
Back through SIN on Monday if anyone wants to meet up.

Ladies and Gentlemen, start up your engines!


* Should anyone wants to help out to plan this DO, please send me or bschaff1 a PM. Cheers.

Wow! its great. I haven't plan yet but i suggest to my friends

I got in the HX deal, and will be travelling in and out of BKK Jan 9-25.
I will have to arrange my business meetings so that I get into SIN for the right dates, and should also be good for the BKK post-do.
Looking forward to being there for some of the festivities.

edit - just booked my flights - I'll be arriving around 10:00 PM on the 18th, so will miss the festivities that day.
I can join you for brekkie on the 19th.

We have started rolling out a new computer system with the first location going live Nov. 5. It's not going well and I am being told I should probably be around from January through March. This puts a terrible crimp in my travel plans. So, put me down as not likely, but I am not cancelling my tickets, just in case something changes.

Hope you can make it. Now that I'm retired, the only thing that gets in the way of my travel plans is other travel plans.

Didn’t have the SIN Do on my list for 2019, but things changed and a reasonable J fare from Italy popped up with perfect flight times.

I couldn’t resist and I’m happy seeing so many known users again (and also new ones) in Singapore during the Do.

I will only make it to the SIN portion, arriving 18th afternoon, leaving 20th very late evening.
Probably staying at the Intercontinental in intension for using my ambassador free weekend voucher.

See you in two months.....

Please put me down as "probable" for the SIN-DO this year.
I grabbed the HK Airlines deal; after 3 missed tries think I will make SIN this year.

I'm planning to do a solo 3-day post-DO visit to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN).

Debating what to do for a return now... have CX F across the water for 1 pax, but I'm stranding someone else in SIN so may end up in J on JL JL would allow a day in BKK too (Tues return).

Haven't got it officially cleared, but things are looking good.

If anyone is still looking for airfare. SFO/LAX-SIN on CX premium economy is just under $1K with the black Friday sale.

Just use google flights, subtract $500 and use promo /coupon code HOLIDAY on CX website

SQ has flights as low as $988 in premium economy from LAX though its R fare so no Alaska points but does credit to UA for example

https://goo.gl/flights/WUX6x

SFO-SIN is as low as $917 in Premium Economy P if you don't mind SIN-HKG in regular economy. Credits to AS & UA for example. AS is 75% earning on portion in E class & 100% for the rest

I was out of the country when the email went out. Marked my calendar that the last day to book was the 28th - but it was the 27th - arghhhh.... hate that I missed those fares. The only consolation is that CX has fare sales fairly regularly.

At any rate flying over on CX F - arriving SIN on the 16th. At this point, booked to leave BKK on the 27th, but may change that ticket to a later date. Having to cut my trip a little shorter than usual because of sick pup.
