Just for kicks...Jan 12-16 SFO-SIN via HKG/NRT $1055 / Q-fares.

Wow over 50 names already. How many do we need to take over the restaurant? ;)

Yes, I've been watching this closely too. RNO-SFO-SIN is $1138, fare=Q. I'm thinking fondly of last January's trip, which only cost $846 from RNO. This fare was available for a 2 week window only, a year ago. Will we see it again? Since NC availability still showing I9, I will continue to procrastinate. Fortunately I note both UA891 & 895 are now B747. :)

If you make your stay in SIN a few days longer, say the 19th, then the price out of SFO will drop to $904.80/V-fare.

hmmm...tempting.
I am a strong maybe. I have made inquiries to various award travel desks and am getting a lot of nos. :( I will watch for the fares to go down on UA so I can use up some voucher $$. Upgrades? that's another problem :)

sf4dfish,

I have your details added to the page now. Welcome aboard!

See you all in SIN,

Mike

UA SWUs expire at the end of January. In January of 2005, folks were being generous in Coupon Connection. It's something for you to keep in mind, even though it means you'd only be able to request upgrades close to travel dates.

IIRC that fare was actually an error, and it was only available for a few days. Although long enough for several of us to swoop in and ticket :)

Ex-ORD on UA with anything less than a 6+ is still pricing at $1300+ on a Q fare

Yep it was a mistake. I know it's not the mistake people think of but the terms were wrong. The fare rules were loaded wrong. 6 day fare rules/pricing was attached to the <6 day fares.

My itinerary/flight schedule on the SIN DO Website is totally wrong, as are many others I guess, strange dates and not everyone is flying UA ;)!

I have not yet booked a hotel, but will likely stay at The Oriental Singapore.

My flights so far scheduled are:

JAN 10 LH 778 FRA-BKK
JAN 13 SQ 67 BKK-SIN
JAN 15 SQ 26 (preferred) (or SQ 326 SIN-FRA)

FB - I may join you BKK-SIN (not sure yet).

If anyone is in BKK before the SIN DO, there I will be at The Oriental, the real and original Oriental Hotel. :)

Well, an interesting thought to be on SQ67 as well. :-: Closer to the dates I most probably will know for sure. And yes, to meet in Bangkok it will be fun as well. :D

flamboyant1,

Your details as posted here are now reflected on the website. There was and is no (save for typos or recent airline flight time adjustments) incorrect itinerary/flight info displayed. Granted, if one were to highlight the red area of a participant's itinerary/flight detail area they would see the place holder text which is there in the same font color as the background color and is therefore not "on" the website per se. This formatting method allows me to update the site with significantly greater rapidity at work when the details come out in the thread. Please advise when you know one way or the other if in fact you will be on the SQ 326 so I can ensure accuracy on the site. For the moment I will leave it as SQ 26 as that is your preferred flight.

All the best,

Mike

I don't know much about the best plans. I probably have the wackiest plan.
(SQ)CMB-SIN-BKK-(TG)PEK-(OZ)ICN-(SQ)SFO-(UA)LAX-SFO-(SQ)HKG-SIN(on the 14th)-CMB-SIN(on the 15th)-(UA)HKG-(SQ)SFO as part of an ad hoc RTW VNO-VNO with only one 24 hour stop. From the first SFO to the last SFO (over 21,000 miles), I have no hotel stops. :eek:

I'll earn 20 PPS sectors and untold FF miles split strategically among UA M+, LH M&M, and BD DC. It's all in C and F except VNO-CPH-FRA-CAI in Y (most likely to be upgraded to C) and the total cost is less than US$4000. :)

So, please count me in. If it's as good as the 2004 SIN-DO, it will be worth it. (I missed 2005.)
