If you're Joe-off-the-street, your price is about double that for the same seat.

The question is - how many Joe-off-the-streets were on your flight?

I work for one of the worlds largest telecom companies and SQ is one of our perferred airlines. For that I paid $7,500 LAX-SIN-EWR and my flight in April I paid $7,000 for EWR-SIN-EWR. Of course I could get the ticket alittle cheaper but I leave on premium days. I would love to see PE on this route but I don't see is as from what I have seen SQ is doing fine with all C.

Having SQ as a preferred airline doesn't give access to these special fares - it's a direct arrangement between the carrier and the company, often to specific routes or flights...I set up a few of these for companies when I worked at Eastern.

I have a TA friend who has been working his network to try and get access to some of these special EWR/LAX-SIN fares, but so far he's been shut out.
