I'm sure once certain others get this e-mail there will be another world is ending thread in the forum.

Here's what it looks like:

Well this is certainly not "Tens of Dollars" as other report!

Any thoughts on how worn out/tired/in need of another vacation one might be after doing the following itinerary in coach (likely on Star Alliance carriers) over a two week period:

YYC-YVR-HKG-SIN-FRA-YYC

With the idea being to spend about 2 days in HKG, 3 or 4 in SIN, and 3 or 4 in the FRA area?

I know it isn't some huge mileage run or anything, but I am looking for a vacation, not an endurance test.

If you stick to AC and SQ, that'll be about the best you could hope for in whY. With some sleep aids, you should be okay, if you generally cope well with short trips to Europe (or any other jet-lag inducing destination).

Opps. Even for us who only fly 2X a year?

Besides, my signature area is usually reserved solely for SPG. Can I have an indulgence for that reason?

ETA: I can't even begin to abide by #20 as well. Can I be forgiven if I am a died in the wool Orangeblood?

ETA2: Looks like I might be saved by rule #21.

Yes, you have to haz one. You don't have to link it in your signature... just posting a link to it in Teh Box will suffice. It will become part of your permanent record.

Thanks. I suspect that I'll try to stick with AC and SQ and, given the routing, it shouldn't be too hard to do so.

The Star Alliance RTW fares can be only nominally more expensive than a simple round trip from YYC to SIN, so it seems to make sense to me to get in some German action if I've got the time.
