Glutton Sq
 
Looks like all of you will be able to check out Glutton Sq given its recent extension till Feb. It's open till 3am or 4am (on weekends), so perfect for SIN run overnighters ^

exactly. Unless one of the hotels comes out with some really low rates I will just burn my free SPG Cat1-4 nights.

Sign me up as a maybe on this one. I should have a couple of those free SPG weekend nights available and could use a weekend with several other nutty FTer's. I should be able to confirm as a positive sometime in OCT or NOV.

UA NRT-SIN and v.v is now B777 !
 
What do I have to do to sit on the UD of a 747? I checked my seat assignments today and UA has switched from a 747 to 777 NRT-SIN. :td:

UA 837 NRT-SIN & UA 838 SIN-NRT, Jan.14 & 17.

I just called UA who told me there had been "no flight change". He was unsympathetic when I explained that this was a 747 flight when I booked it. I asked him about changing from SFO-NRT-SIN to SFO-HKG-SIN which is (still) a 747. He said this would involve paying the current (higher) fare plus a $100 change fee. Not a happy camper. Perhaps I should feel happy I wasn't downgraded to coach!

BTW my seat assignment du jour is: UA 837 NRT-SIN 9J & UA838 SIN-NRT 9B.

This is after re-reading 777 Business Seats - Row 9 Experiences?

Thanks!!

They stuck me in 11B when they switched the equipment for SIN-NRT ... No thanks!! I'm now across the aisle from you in 9D ... thanks for the heads up on the change.

Anyone else coming back via NRT may want to check your new seat assignments for this leg. @:-)

Looks like I've been bumped into 9A for the time being :) Given that there's still 5 months to go, I wonder if we'll be scrambling to get seats back upstairs if this changes back to a 747. BTW, this is the 777XI/XC version at the moment.

IIRC any Int'l ticket 'reticket to a higher fare' PAYS NO $100 fee. If the fare difference is only a bit, you can have your upper deck :D

(Unless the schedules have changed, NRT-HKG-SIN would involve an overnight in HKG tho)

For SIN-NRT, I'm now in 9F.... Thanks for the heads up!!!!

SanDiego1K Aug 8, 2004 3:20 pm

SIN-NRT: FTers in the tiny biz cabin

9A kluau88
9B RestlessinRNO
9D GoingAway
9E unknown
9F cawhite
9H SanDiego1K
9J wireless

mjm, what lucky person is seated next to you?

mjm Aug 8, 2004 5:58 pm

I knew I forgot something Carol :D

Have to go book a ticket soon I think. Actually, as prices are pretty stable I may wait until after the 5th when the current credit card dedcution from my account takes place. As for lucky, hmmmmm.... with my new iPod and NR phones, I may be a less than conversational seatmate. ;)

P.S. to michswiss, maybe status noted and soon to be added to page. C'mon girl. They sell fine whiskey anjd play golf in SIN too. :)

The days are ticking by towards Crab Fest '05...............

If you haven't flown with them yet, you guys are going to love the difference with the Headphones. Enjoy them!!
