CGK: your friend at the bank may be able to get better rates considering she was able to quote you a good rate for RC SIN?

IIRC, xpacific stayed at the RC SIN at EDB rate of S$215+++

CGK, did u get a better rate?

After our sunset rendevous at the RC Bali, I couldn't care less about SPG points now... I might just give up with hotel elite requalification and book whichever hotel there is out there.

My friend at the bank in Jakarta has the SGD190+++ for RC, Raffles at the Plaza as well as the Fullerton. It's the basic room but inclusive buffet breakfast which definitely is very very impressive.
I am not so sure whether the bank has the contract rate for the Club.
Let me know if you are interested...

Definitely, I will check with her around Jan 2006 for the rates.

Yes. I saw them. But thanks anyways. Quite suprisingly many of these creatures are kept as household pets to a certain age before being sent to a sanctuary.

That information looks a bit familiar... (FYI, last year's rates IIRC were around SGD170)

I am so pleased to hear this. ^
I checked the schedule, looks like this:

Friday SQ 246 BNE-23:55 SIN-05:35*
Saturday SQ 142 SIN-09:35 DPS-12:05

Otherwise, if you want to go early Saturday morning, connection in SYD to GA. Hope QF will reinstate the flight to DPS.

Its far too early to be sure but current schedules have bad timings and connections.
