No more changes, PLEASE!!
 

You'll find me in my favorite "mini-cabin" seat, 8J, unless and UNTIL they make another change of gauge on this flight.....perhaps to a 319?? ;)

Best wishes, Dave

I think "at the moment" is the operative phrase... I held off from my favorite 8A/8J for the possibility of the XI/XC getting changed to an XP. Looks like 8 DEF are still available as is 9E...so who wants to be the lucky person sitting between GoingAway & me? :)

hotel opinions?
 

I'm looking at Hotel 1929 as possible accomodation. Read a few reviews and the only thing that is somewhat distracting is the possibly dodgy neighborhood. It seems really close to Chinatown but is that going to be a problem in terms of noise and/or safety?

Ah so thats why I was able to get 15A:)

Jan 17 06:45 AM depart SIN
Jan 17 10:20 AM arrival HKG Cabin: Upgraded business class
Seat: 15A

Yah flights are now booked.

Arriving from NRT Sat 15th 4pm which should give me enough time to dump bags at hotel before meeting up for drinkies.

Leaving for AKL Sun 16th evening.

Welcome to the party! ^

Not wanting to fly with the rest of us???

sean and i are staying until morning of jan 18.. if anyone want's to play on monday we are thinking of zoo or sentosa..

I don't have a ticket booked yet but I wanted to visit Sentosa the last time and if I make it to SIN DO 2005 I would like to hit Sentosa

Booked flights in a airport lounge - guess I screwed up :( ( then again - that leaves all the champagne for me :D )

Nah, you were possibly one of the SGN victims... When they changed the flight numbers (the first Chinese Fire Drill) some of us who were connecting HKG-SIN-NRT got changed to HKG-SIN-HKG involuntarily. Thanks to one of my buddies for clueing me in so I was able to get the 1K desk to change it back to the original routing without much whining.

Nice choice of hotel. Unique compared to the usual chain most of us here stay at.
It's actually IN Chinatown albeit on the far end. Just a few blocks to walk to the heart. Where its located; Keong Saik Street; used to be very much a red-light district but its been rather much cleaned up now. There are some nice eating places along that street. As its getting close to Chinese New Year, it can be a bit noisy but should be OK. I'm quite sure it'll be safe.....take it from a local.

welcome to SIN :)

Hi..

Thanks for the comments - I'll definitely consider that hotel next time I visit Singapore.. for now, the Le Meridien has a very nice rate of 150 SGD/nt which is comparable to the rates at that Hotel 1929.

The designs are very inspiring, however!

Whilst in the airport the other day, I had our e-tickets re-issued to reflect the flight changes, and can confirm we are in seats 17G and H on the HKG - SIN leg of UA895.

How many does that make now ?

I'm a maybe for Sunday too. Someone please remind me not to eat too much on my SQ flights over.
