Coming to SFO for a few days thanks to a very generous fare on BA. Shame that the pound's dropped 15% since I booked the flights

05 Oct - FR 603 MME-DUB
05 Oct - EI 186 DUB-LHR
06 Oct - BA 287 LHR-SFO

12 Oct - BA 284 SFO-LHR

If any of the locals fancy a drink, I'm buying.

Christmas-New Year's Trip

Here's my Christmas-New Year's trip that I've been planning for all year long.

San Francisco for Evening of Friends, Sights, and Sushi
Dec. 13, 1:30 pm - 4:12 pm, ATL-SFO, DL 1049 F

Singapore for Day of Shopping
Dec. 14-15, 12:05 am - 11:50 am +1, SFO-(HKG)-SIN, SQ 001 F

Bangkok for a Week of Shopping, Food, Relaxation, and Food
Dec. 15, 6:00 pm - 7:25 pm, SIN-BKK, SQ 978 Y (waitlist F)
The Peninsula Bangkok
Back with Mr. Megatop at our Favorite Hotel in the World

Singapore for Overnight Stop
Dec. 19, 4:20 pm - 7:45 pm, BKK-SIN, LX 182 J
The Ritz-Carlton Millennia Singapore

Borobudor for Pure Relaxation
Dec. 20, 9:15 am - 11:00 am, SIN-SOC, MI 212 Y
amanjiwo
Our first aman resort. Christmas at the largest Buddhist temple complex in the world in the heart of the most populous Muslim country in the world.

Singapore for Shopping, Szechuan, and Fusion Cuisine
Dec. 27, 12:00 pm - 1:45 pm, SOC-SIN, MI 213 Y
The Ritz-Carlton Millennia Singapore

Bangkok for New Year's
Dec. 29, 9:20 pm - 10:45 pm, SIN-BKK, LX 183 J
The Peninsula Bangkok
Where else?

The Long Way Home
Jan. 3, 7:05 pm - 10:30 pm, BKK-SIN, SQ 981 Y (waitlist F)
Hotel SKL F
Jan. 4, 9:50 am - 11:25 pm, SIN-(NRT)-LAX, SQ 012 F
Jan. 4, 2:05 pm - 9:15 pm, LAX-ATL, DL 946 F
SQ 12 might be my last ride on a Megatop, and a sad one too after saying good-bye to Mr. Megatop at Suvarnabhumi.

While in Java, I'll have three nested tickets: MI nested inside LX nested inside DL/SQ. Not the most complicated, but noteworthy for me.

mondo: We'll be in Singapore at the same time twice. Your overnight on Dec. 27th coincides with me and Mr. Megatop coming back to SIN from Java, and a week later, Jan. 3-4, you'll be in Singapore again while I'm overnighting in transit on the way home. Perhaps you and yours and me and Mr. Megatop should meet up on Dec. 27th.

briantoronto: looks like you'll be in Singapore on Dec. 27th too! That's at least three gay FTers plus two SO's. Perhaps we should all get together for a drinky drink at one of the GGG pubs/clubs around Chinatown.

And after that, we'll be in Bangkok for several days together around New Year's, taking the LX flight to BKK just one day after you. Seems like there are always gay FTers in Bangkok over New Year's. For New Year's 2005, there were ten of us, eight at the same hotel.

Sounds like that could work! I have never been to Singapore beyond the airport (same with Bangkok actually), so I will leave it up to you to suggest a place to meet.

Classic TG: Change and change back

Nov. 30, DL 946 LAX-ATL 1:55 pm - 9:08 pm (Y)
This started off as a ride on the New York Express JFK-BKK nonstop. Then TG scrapped the JFK route and grounded its A345's, converting LAX to a one-stop 772 via KIX. Then TG realized it couldn't sell the thirsty birds, and the price of oil fell, so now the LAX flight is nonstop again. Irritated that I had to pay a change fee to DL, but at least I got confirmed upgrades.

Nov. 25, DL 125 ATL-LAX 4:10 pm - 5:59 pm (J) seat 7F on 767-400 ^
Nov. 25, TG 795 LAX-BKK 9:30 pm - 6:30 am +2 (J)
The Peninsula Bangkok
Nov. 30, TG 794 BKK-LAX 7:30 pm - 6:20 pm (J)
Nov. 30, DL 9714 LAX-ATL 10:15 pm - 5:21 am +1 (F)

Works for us. Similar to briantoronto we seem to just pit stop in Singapore - taxi, eat,sleep, taxi - usually with outbound connections at funny times.
