SIN yet again?
As of today, United has brought back inexpensive VXSP17/VWSP17 fares from the US to SIN/BKK/TPE. Naturally, this has sparked much discussion of another SIN run/do over in the UA forum. AA appears to be matching fares in at least the BOS/NYC/WAS markets, so it seemed appropriate to begin a thread in Community to include that larger group.
Who would be up for a 7hr turn in SIN/BKK/TPE sometime in November? Probably weekend of Nov 1-3, Nov 8-10 or Nov 15-17.
My currently booked tickets already have me requalifying for 1K and EXP by the end of October, but I'd be up for it just for the fun of it (because what could be more fun than spending 40+ hours on a plane and 7 hours in SIN with a bunch of FTers?!?
)Anyone? Bueller?

I'm interested because of an expiring UA ticket (although AA is interesting too). I'm not sure about the 7hr turn part but I'll think about it.
I suggest 15th or the 8th (if the BOS get together falls through)

Already booked two BKK runs/fun before this new pricing. Still got a good price for the first and happy with the second considering the dates. Since I didn't originally book them to be pure runs, I'm o.k. with the prices I got. Anyway, would be interested to see if any FT's are on my flights.

I'm going to SIN on 11/1-11/3...first timer.
How long is 'enough' time to actually leave the airport in SIN and NRT? I have a little less than 6 hrs in SIN and only 3h40m in NRT...is that enough time to venture into NRT city?
This is on CO/NW BTW...

I want to cry Wah wah wheres the wahambulance. All my new buddies are going again and I won't/can't. I am so booked up until next year already, but next year watch me goooooooooooo. I think it's also my turn to host the mini-bar clean out, so keep that in mind, but I guess with a 7 hour turn thats not an issue. As I said next year. Happy travels

November 15 means I miss out on part of my triple miles since the mileage buffet ENDS 11/15.
