My itinerary is now set too. Looks like we may need to grab that conference room at the RCC again. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Details now added to the webpage for:

SanDiego1K, jan_az, and mjm

Getting more and more real by the day.

Mike

I'm checking fares regularly...

Count me in.

Anyway, greetings from Auckland, NZ. Will be here for at least a week.

kokonutz,

Cool. You are now on the waitlist on the webpage. Let us know when your status changes and I will update the page. The cheap V fares (for use with SWU and Sweet Spots) are out now from various points but upgrade availability on the way back for the SIN-NRT leg may be challenging. Good luck.

ws8n,

You are now officially upgraded to confirmed on the webpage. Drop a note with flight details when you have them and I shall add those also.

Mike

Just a brief side note regarding the entry procedures to Malaysia: they don't care if you have Israeli stamps in your passport. My previous passport had over a dozen of them, I've been in Malaysia more times than I can count, and Immigration never even batted an eye.

Violist, who has just gotten over the shock
of realizing that he needs 3 (three) one-day
mileage runs at the end of this year, is going
to avoid that necessity for '04 and will be there.
The aroma of chilli crab in his mind's nose
has absolutely nothing to do with it. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
The lure of sharing a meal with SD1K again
(not to mention other friends new or old)
has absolutely nothing to do with it. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
Unfortunately, he's had his sweet spots
spoken for (having a girlfriend accompanying
him frequently these days does tend to eat
up those certs), so he will be sitting 22884
miles in coach - but don't cry for him, because
he has exit and/or bulkhead on all segments.

See you all at the RCC if not before!

Cheers,
Michael
who, with work being slow in the first couple
months of the year, has booked 49594 miles in
the first 6 weeks of 2004 and who doubted the
guy whom he sat next to a couple weeks ago when
he said he flew a million miles a year, but,
you know what, it really does seem possible.

violist,

Fantastic to have you aboard. The website is now current with your info as well. See you in SIN and look forwad to reading the review http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Note to all SIN RUN '04 attendees:

I have amended the pre-dinner meeting details on the website today. Currently we are planning on meeting for drinks at the Conrad Hilton Club Lounge prior to grabbing a shared taxi/van to the restaurant and this shall be confirmed closer to the time with details posted on the website and in this thread on FT.

FT SIN RUN 2004 (2nd Annual Mileage Run For Chili Crabs)

Just bought my SIN ticket using a 15% off cert. To get the dates I wanted, I booked going to/from ONT instead of LAX. Since I have relatives that live close to ONT, no worries. (and an extra 1K status miles to boot!). My itinerary on UA is as follows:

UA 6347 ONT-LAX 0935A 1005A 1/15 4B
UA 891 LAX-NRT 1115A 0355P 1/15 15A
UA 801 NRT-SIN 0530P 1155P 1/16 Waitlist
UA 800 SIN-NRT 0720A 0250P 1/19 13B
UA 890 NRT-LAX 0425P 0855A 1/19 15A
UA 6348 LAX-ONT 1045A 1119A 1/19 4B

Priced at $617.43 after 15% discount. ($711.43 before discount). What was interesting was I couldn't get the 1/15/04 outbound from LAX but from ONT going through LAX it was available. All jet sectors upgraded except NRT-SIN.

Put me down as confirmed & am looking forward to meeting everyone in SIN. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

FT SIN RUN 2004 (2nd Annual Mileage Run For Chili Crabs)

Ok after one party flight to LHR, my cousin is interested in the SIN Run. mjm, can you put us on the maybe list. Need to find a way how to explain to non-ft-family members why we might need to miss dinner for Chinese New Year http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Just for the fun of it, I did a search for fares and came up with a fare of $762 on United. I have never flown United and am really unfamiliar with the program. The fare is V class. Is this upgradeable with miles? How many miles/points would it take? I have SPG, Hilton, and AMEX points. What are my options other than 24 hours in coach? I have CO Plat but nothing on United.

Rachel, V fares on UA aren't upgradable with miles http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif However, maybe some other UAer will be nice enough to gift you some SWU's should you go ahead with this.

prncess, sorry, even the run-of-the-mill
SWUs won't fix a V fare. You may have some
luck finding Sweet Spots, those extra-special
SWUs that upgrade virtually anything; I've
had all of mine spoken for, as my girlfriend
has unfortunately gotten the taste for flying
up front (we had a schedule change on our
Christmas trip and she was fussing at me that
we were riding in C on one leg); on the outbound
I'm going in coach but downgraded myself on
a Europe trip so I can return in style.

A side note to kluau - remember that the Lunar
New Year doesn't begin until the next week!

back to the drawing board then on how to get to SIN. Thanks for the UAL advice.

Rachel
