hmm Maxwell Road...there is one good teochew restaurant around the next block on a strip of restaurants near the food court. Good suggestion! ^

Also, I am sure there will be local FTers who will be in Singapore early than the runners. I myself will be there earlier, and could be as early as Jan 10th/11th. I am willing to offer my services as a tour guide :)

I'll be joining the skeptics and wait until post-Labor Day for East Coast-SIN fares. ;) My telepathetic powers insist on EWR-SIN fare wars later this year.
:D

Any interest in going to Maxwell Road first, then walking over to Chinatown Complex Food Court Block 335 Smith Street where there are hundreds of stalls.

Note that these FC's do not have air conditioning.

If I had to recommend just one, it would be the Chinatown Complex FC.

This area can be reached easily, by cab maybe 6 minutes from the Conrad down South Bridge Road, Maxwell Road FC by the East-West Blue MRT to Tanjong Pagar (W1) and walk up Maxwell Road and the Chinatown Complex FC by the Northeast Purple MRT to Chinatown (NE4) down Pagoda St, right on Trennganu.

Don't even think about doing this online! For $10 savings, you lose your upgrades and your seat assignments.

And 15A went away in the 30 seconds i was pushing the buttons - definately not worth it for $10

It sounds like some of us got lucky over the weekend and yesterday with the V fares as I've been told those are supposed to be 6-day min stay. ORD fares for the 13-17th are now $10xx.xx for a Q fare

SanDiego1K Jun 30, 2004 10:03 am

^ Thank you, RestlessinReno!
 
Kudos to RestlessinReno for alerting us to the fare. Who knew it would turn out to be such a short window? I've bought, I've upgraded, no stress waiting at the gate for my upgrade - thank you, Mr. RReno!!

On that routing, the only place to look for you is in 15H, since I "know" that 15A will be taken!!!!

:cool:

Best wishes, Dave

GK Jun 30, 2004 12:45 pm

ticketed !?! already ...
 
ok... i understand why. as for me and sean, well the HKG-SIN fare war is on, now that Valuair are here, but let'd just wait a while and see what else comes along, we may be doing a complex routing via KUL or BKK to save even a few more pennies.. :p

So, Dave - have you ticketed? The no minimum V fare is gone now - I hope you bought while the buying was good.

By the way, Thaipusam is Feb 5, 2005. We won't see the penitents on the street this trip.

Yeah I saw it coming. I probably should have kept my mouth (eh keyboard) quiet on this one :o

In short V fares which we got were supposed to be Q fares that cost $200 more. V fares = 6 day stay, Q fares = 4 day stay. Amazingly these were also available during peak times in December.


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 5:11 pm.
