I'm booked on TG departing SIN at 12:25 pm so will definitely miss the lunch. However, this segment is part of an award ticket and is in J on an A350-900 so how could I refuse?😁

I'll be in attendance this year. I'll be arriving on Friday on UA29 and will most likely stay at the Grand Hyatt.

Long time lurker, frequent flyer and unicorn poster... I'm in for the HKG / SIN Do! (not BKK)

I arrive into HKG on the afternoon of 1/15 departing on the 10:55 am Scoot flight to SIN on 1/18. Staying in SIN 1/18 - 1/20. Sorting out accommodations now... Count me in for all events.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

This is my issue- I could do Scoot in whY, or burn some Avios for J on CX on the A350. Was hoping to lounge hop a bit, but uncertain about the capabilities to get to other OW lounges (not that it would be worth it- as QF doesn't open until later in the day).

Slowly finalizing flights... sad CX isn't opening over the pond.

Thanks to all the updates to the wiki. Helps when deciding what I'm going to do/stay.

Another update. I had padded a few extra days into my schedule so when the Cathay Vietnam mistake fare came up, I jumped on it. So into SIN 1/18-20, then pop-up to DAD for a DAD-HKG-JFK-HKG out and back, grab another flight over to Japan and pickup my original return from NRT on 1/24! Nothing wrong with living on Cathay First Class/HKG Lounges for a couple days.

If everyone can PM me the following info, I'll combine it into a spreadsheet...
-KUL DO Attendance: (Y or N)
-KUL Hotel
-SIN Arrival Flight
-SIN Arrival Date
-SIN Hotel
-BKK Post DO Attendance: (Y or N)

I'll just start with this data and will collect event attendance details later this week.

Additionally, I will post a venue for Friday night drinks later this week.
