Not sure it will matter to those of you doing the 7 hour stay, but Monday May 2nd is a public holiday in Singapore (Labor Day). Part of a 3 day weekend as the official Labor Day falls on May 1st.

I still have to see about getting my return boarding pass while I'm in NRT, too. What have I gotten myself into? :)

Feorlen:
I'll be on your same flights heading back on 5/3. My travel is SIN-(NRT)-SFO-DEN-MSP. If you want in the RCC at NRT let me know. I'll be taking a shower there as it is so deliciously refreshing. Boom!

I wonder how much the taxi ride is to the Lau Pa Sat food court? I am also trying not to spend much money, but it would be fun to go into town and check out some things over the 7 hours. I found some more flyertalkers coming in...da1dan and 168. Maybe they can come with us to help with the costs.

168 checking in here. Rookie FT, just read Feorlen's post and found this Community post. I will be on your UA837 from NRT and 838 to SFO the next day. If holiday is not an issue, count me in if you do PremEx2000's suggestion.

Well then, I'll be sure to hurry up to get in the shower queue before you! (I'll be doing that if I don't manage to in SIN.) Thank you for the offer, but I'm ok there. I wouldn't have been nearly so quick to do this if I weren't getting that 100% mileage bonus... :)

Feorlen,

If I score an Op-Up, I will be the only passenger with his own 6 pack of diet Coke for the flight. Otherwise I will be sitting in 46A on UA837 to SIN. Pls let me know if you guys do go into town.

My taxi fare from the airport to Little India on Feb. 4th was S21.15. I would be glad to join your trip into town. I will be in the RCC at NRT between flights. The flight that 168 and I are on from SEA arrives at 2:55PM so we will be there a little before the rest of you. It looks like several of us will be on the same flights from NRT-SIN, and even more on SIN-NRT-SFO.

I guess you will be my neighbor as I will be sitting in 46C. :)

Just found this thread... I'll be at SIN airport on May 2nd from about 6-9pm... if anybody else is there and wants to meet, send me a PM.

Hey all, I'm in singapore now (trying to make the most of the run, I brought a server with me to install at a datacenter here, no duty for hand carried gear....). Found a nice late night theatre off Orchard Place with a 3:40 showing of "The interpreter", an all night outdoor cafe, and a tea leaf and coffee bean with the wireless on all night. Maxis is the local hotspot provider, but you can use t-mobile hotspot accounts here.

See you all at the airport tuesday morning 3/3.

Feorlen May 2, 2005 10:02 am

We never did arrange a place to meet...

I'm hanging out at the internet terminals, by the info desk before immigration in terminal 1

btw, fat chick, blue dress. I'll be wandering around.

yogi May 2, 2005 12:57 pm

After I check in I will be heading for the new SATS lounge to snap some pix....

I will look for you. ANyone else on 838?

Well I flubbed the whole dinner meetup thing, but the rest of the trip was cool. Maybe if I had thought to post my seat assignment, somebody might have recognized the unconscious lump. I was having fun hanging out with all the Northwest folks so I was rather late to board and I needed to sleep NRT-SIN as it was. By the time I woke up, we were well into approach.

Now I have to go gripe about my ticketing screw-up over on the United board, but the rest of the trip was a blast. Although I was a little puzzled about why were met at the aircraft in SFO for an impromptu passport check. Too many short-turn flyers? The crew knew who some of us were, as it was the same group we came out with Sunday. :)

So did any of you make it into the city for a hawker stand or other stop?

I did. I was on the NW run, spending only 5 hours in SIN. Joined three other FTers for a quick jaunt to Newton Circus food court. Very glad I did - the black pepper crab and Satay were awesome!
