Thanks Mike,
It was the placeholder (UA segments) that is strange to me. Now I understand, many thanks, leave it as SQ 26,

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.)

I noticed today, again, SQ64 with SpaceBeds.

We have just now been able to change our return to add a four day stopover in HKG.
This of course presumes that by January, Asiana and its pilots have straightened out their little squabble that has now involved the government.
Details will be sent to Mike under separate cover as soon as we decide when and how to get to HKG from SIN (since all the nonstops are *A, we have lots of choices).

Ms. prncess674,
You are now on the maybe list. Hope to see you in SIN again.
All,
Fares for less than 6 days should come out eventually.
And for those of you needing a plan for a side trip, HKG is a great one as is Tokyo.
I know a guy who will be here after SIN Run '06 and who is usually quite keen on a bite to eat and a few bevvies afterwards.

However the difference in fares is not that great:UA RNO-SFO-SIN Jan.12-16 $1158 Q fare
....................... Jan.12-18 $1038 V fare.
Of course last year I paid only $846 for this. (OK, this was a special fare.) However I've noticed fares to ALL UA destinations that I fly to have increased in price $100 or so in the last year.

Hoping for some cheaper fares. JFK-SIN is pricing out at $1300 right now.
