SIN RUN 2004 Do
SIN RUN 2004 sees FTers taking off from Newark, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Chicago and a variety of other locales to rendezvous in Singapore for a munch on the famous Chili Crabs, Pepper Crabs, and other assorted SE Asian delicacies to be had.
We fly in and out on a variety of days and airlines, but the main event is dinner on Saturday, January 17, 2004.
Last year many of us met up at the Conrad for pre-dinner drinks and then shared a van (same fare per person as a taxi) to and back from the restaurant. Same again this year I am sure. Some go directly from other hotels, shopping, or sightseeing expeditions and meet at the restaurant directly.
Later that night there is also a chance for a midnight snack at a local food court for late arrivals or for those who just need more of the good eats available.
There is a webpage set up for this event and it can be seen here:

Post here if you will join, or if you just have questions or comments.
Kick off the year with a big mileage boost and join us in SIN!

I'm in.
I'll offer a UA 15% off cert (Friends and Family, good thru May 15, 2004), to the first who can find a SAN-SIN fare sub $700 on UA that doesn't require a 6 day minimum stay. I just did a quick and dirty fare check, and came up with $1093. I believe that it was November last year before UA came out with better fares.

Mike,
I was just pricing out this itn. Prices from New York are still on the high side.
I'm PSP bound unless 'keithguy' or someone else can figure out a way to bring down the cost. Departure from JFK, with a 24 hour stop at LAX.
I certainly would love to attend the 2nd annual SIN run party.
Sean, Kenji, Ron, SweetWillie???
Note to SanDiego1K, better watch out for that guy in 16A.

I will be a SIN person from afar, as I'll be in New Zealand (using the dolphin cert mjm gifted me) on a 10-day trip. Cheers all, and have a fab time!

Alright guys and gal. Your names are all displayed on the page by status (i.e. confirmed or waitlisted)
I think we are going to get a fair few new names in November if fares drop then as predicted.
Keep us posted on your travel status and the page shall be updated accordingly.
This trip is perfect for both Sweet Spots and SWUs as it is early enough in the year.
See you there.

I was interested in the HKG Housewarming event posted by GK, but when I looked at the dates, I thought to myself that Chinese New Year usually falls around this date. After checking the date the event falls a few weeks after Chinese New Year. Well just a heads up to anyone that plans to go to SIN that Chinese New Year is on January 22, 2004 so this might affect the price of tickets to the area

Excellent.
The gentlemen from, or soon to be anyway, Hong Kong are now on the list. Definitely hope you can make it with it being just a hop away.
**Edited to add, if you do end up working, send your proxy anyway and we will send a take away home with him.

Mike, count me in! I've already been upgraded on CO/NW & have reserved the Sheraton, Ritz Millenium & Hyatt for my 3 nights. Nice way for me to start off my miles & stays for the year + getting my fill of chilli / pepper crabs --not to mention meeting up with old & new FT friends.

For now I'm a no, but if I feel comfortable w/my responsibilities by that time, I may shoot out early this time instead of the 6 hour turnaround.
