If only it was a week later. :( I could deduct the whole trip. ;)

Oops.. scratch that - I just checked.. Fashion Week is Jan 17-20 in HK.

Just to confirm that those wanting to stopover and see Sean in 'Sleeping Beauty' should aim to be in Hong Kong (in town for 7.30pm start) on either Thurs 12 or Fri 13, there won't be any shows in the days right after the do, but will be on the following Thurs/Fri/Sat.

Ticket orders through me as on-line not available for all shows held in Hk Gov't Theatres. Will post prices when know, but around the HK$200 mark.

I'm hoping for more reasonable fares to show up, but so far its pricing high that weekend. Hasn't it been awhile since fares with less than 6 day minimum have been offered though? :)

me as well, sure seems as if the <6 day min has not been offered in awhile.

Welp, since I'm now officially moving to Singapore, I suppose I should put myself down as a "yes" on this one. :D
(and it's the perfect weekend, right before classes start, too!)

Booked the Hilton 5 Jan to 8 Jan 230 SGD.

Conrad was more than double.

I think you have the wrong dates booked. SIN DO is the following weekend.

Falco Peregrinus Oct 1, 2005 3:57 am

I will be there! Award tickets! :p

Please count me down as a maybe. :)

I'm Confirmed.
 
Jan. 12 UA 6451 RNO-SFO
.......... UA 837 SFO-NRT
Jan. 13 UA 891 NRT-SIN

Jan.16 UA 890 SIN-NRT-LAX
......... UA 857 LAX-SFO
......... UA 6438 SFO-RNO.

mjm - I'm looking forward to meeting you at the NRT RCC again. :) Thank you for organizing this again.

I've been watching these UA fares for 6 months, hoping they might fall. Instead they have been gradually rising. So I finally decided to "bite the bullet" and ticket. Fortunately I was still able to upgrade to business (NC) on above routing. The prospect of 18 hours in coach is a sobering one (which I have indeed done once). There is currently no NC seating available on UA852 NRT-SFO Jan.16, for instance - however it is available on the later flight UA838 NRT-SFO.

I'm with you Sweet Willie, has anyone seen the < d day min in the last couple of months? I thought fares would come down a little instead of steadily climb.
All the best,

Not since the sale fares UA ran last summer for travel around late August. The current ex-ORD fares aren't much higher than what's been pricing out most of this year for Q fares (at least for what I've been seeing since February).
