AA finally extended their sale fares for NRT into January ($617 plus tax from SFO--a little higher than the $549 fare running until December, but a lot less than the $1000 that was the fare yesterday), so I booked that today to go along with my award ticket NRT-SIN-NRT. I'll be spending four nights in Tokyo, two before the SIN DO, and two after. Upgrades cleared one way, and I'm waitlisted on the return.

Thank you, 9V-JKL, for bringing this to my attention. 200 SGD is much more reasonable. So I've decided to book the Conrad again.

I am still here and with any luck at all the next 72 hours will provide a bit of time to update pages.

See you all soon,

Well, sorry to say this but while you're doing that update go ahead and pull me off the list. It doesn't look like I'll be making it to SIN in January this year, possibly February but January isn't going to happen. Have fun everyone.

As long as you're updating the list, here's my itinerary:

1/12 YYZ-HKG AC15
1/13 HKG-SIN SQ865
1/16 SIN-HGK SQ860
1/17 HKG-YYZ AC16

And I'll be travelling with a soon-to-be-newly-minted FTer. Um.... Gas Bag! Yeah, that's the ticket. I'll be travelling with Gas Bag.
