I'd love to join you, but need a little help.
So far, the best I can do from JFK is $782.
That would be:
Jan 16 UA 3 JFK/SFO 5:30 arrive 8:57pm
Jan 17 UA837/881 SFO/NRT/SIN
Jan 20 UA 882 SIN/NRT/LAX
spend the day in LA
Jan 21 UA 8 LAX/JFK 7:00am
Can the mileage guru's help me to get a lower price?
I have some flexibility timewise, but of course would prefer to travel SIN/LAX with SanDiego1K.
Thanks. You can e mail me if you'd like.

The website is now updated to include sunil, Sweet Willie, and SanDiego1K.
Dan, keyboard poised and ready to add your name too. ;-)
As we now have two and maybe three arriving near midnight on the 18th I will also add to the webpage (Dinner Plans section), in the next week or so, a rendezvous point for and list of people interested in hitting Lau Pa Sat (24 hour local food court) for some late night noodle slurping.

NW has just lowered its PDX-SIN fares in "K" from $632 to $601-$604. Save three bucks by overnighting at LAX. Or one could turn it into a 20,000 mile extravaganva by forcing layovers in HNL in both directions and as a bonus have 7 hours in Narita. BKK is now $730 in "K", an open jaw PDX-SEA-NRT-BKK land
SIN-NRT-SEA-PDX is $676. Yesterday cheapest BKK was $1700 as a Y26.
Anyone going to be in BKK on January 16 or in SIN the evening of January 27? Happy to get together if anyone is around. Tentative plans call for above routing which is booked with the land portion probably being:
BKK-Chiang Mai - BKK - Hat Yen - HKT - KUL - JHB (Expedia has it for $298). Does anyone know if it can be done for less by booking in BKK? And, if so please provide suggestions as how to get it done.

mjm - Many thanks for a very fine website!!
(I wish I had the techno know-how to do that sort of stuff!!)
In any event, my hotel(s) will be: Sheraton for the short "overnite" on Friday, transferring to the Swisshotel Stamford for Sat/Sun/Mon....that is, unless something better comes available!
I also see that several of the runners will be on UA 881 from NRT to SIN on the 17th. Since I've not had the pleasure of meeting any of those folks.....Just wanted to point out that I'm expecting to sit in 17A....Perhaps someone will be in 17B
Best wishes. AND: NRT RCC it is!!!!

Had my travel agent look into hotel prices for the night of the 18th.
Hilton $93US
Conrad $90US
Sheraton $104US
Her rates were lower than I could get online.
Even though my focus is on *wood properties for next year, seeing as there is negative treatment of plats at the Sheraton that I've read about in the *wood forum AND THE CONRAD IS ONLY $90 makes my decision very easy.
I'll be at the Conrad on the 18th!!!

Well we are going to miss the party, but I thought I would post our itinerary in case anyone is still in SIN or HKG when we are there. We will probably see some of you in NRT on your way home. We will be staying at the Honolulu Hyatt, Grand Hyatt Singapore and Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. Like Mauld we need to use up some Hyatt FFNs. Kudos to mjm, great job on the we site.

The Website is now updated to show Sweet Willie's flights and hotel, as well as bseller's hotels.
Sweet Willie, I have made the assumption on the itineraries page that you are on the UA flight out of SIN for HKG. If that is the case you will likely be leaving the hotel at about 4:30am. If, after you get in at midnight, we head out for some local grub at Lau Pa Sat it is likely you will not get back to the room before 3:00. At this point you might have enough time for a shower and to grab your bag. If you or any of the others who might join this little tour and who have only a few hours in SIN need a place to dump suitcases while we eat and grab a shower before heading to the airport, you are welcome to use my suite at the Inter-Continental and thereby save yourself a few bucks. If your flights are other than I have guessed and you are going to have time to snooze, then in the very best Latella-esque voice, ...."Nevermind".
I have also noted both IK in Seattle's exit from and techgirl's addition to the "Maybe" list.
On both the outbound and inbound parts of this run, there are going to people who will cross paths in the NRT RCC. As promised, I shall add a NRT RCC meeting time and list to the website in the next few days.
Punki, c'est la vie, but I shall hoist one to you in the direction of LAS whilst at 35,000 feet.
bseller, On that flight on the 17th, the gentleman in 15H will be me. Stop by for a coffee or chat.

Now I'm kicking myself for choosing the HKG-SIN route on the outbound. Looks like I'm the only one doing the outbound on the 17th on that route.... oh well.
Anyway gang this is my first time to meet up with other FT members, looking forward to meeting all of you , folks like SanDiego1K !
One important note, Singapore is home for me ,so no hotel required !

sunil,
Will be great to have a local to advise and intrigue with local bits of info. First FT events are fun. I assume you will be a bit hungry by the time you roll in on Saturday evening so shall I add your name to the Lau Pa Sat stop? You could help us pick the good stuff, la.
