SJU turn
Just on a 50 mins turn in SJU from ORD. Same crew as inbound flight. Getting some surprised looks... Was upgraded on way here but not back. Had 15 mins at lounge (priority pass or lounge club access).
Doing LGA-ORD-SJU-ORD-LGA same day on UA. 5600 miles for $250 which is decent

U.S.-Canada-U.S.-GIG
Routing to GIG (No YQ or YR) via YYZ back into US, e.g. IAH, adds about 2000 miles and drops the price by about $300 based on a lower fare (no dump).
Is this routing worth the hassle assuming reasonable connection times to clear Canadian and US immigration in YYZ, but only 45 minutes in IAH?

I remember someone posting about their experience staying at SIN airport from midnight till 7 AM. Read this over last month. Can't for the life of me find it via search though. Would have thought was in the min transit thread which even has an index. Not there.
Anyway, am debating whether to do EWR-NRT-SIN-NRT-IAH-EWR on UA (ANA for NRT-SIN leg) in coach. Spending that much time in coach scares me, but 21,000 miles at 4.3 CPM is attractive. Would take me 2-3 separate domestic MRs to get similar mileage.
So, wondering what others felt doing it and whether they were 'in pain' for days after and wished they had never done it...

I've spent the night at SIN before. Very doable whether you decide to stay airside or go thru customs and visit the country. Food is my recommendation to kill time, should be a bunch of hawkers open even after midnight, both at the airport and outside (outside is obviously better)
How is the passport control in SIN? do they buy in to the MR for flying 24 hours and turning back in 6 hours? will they give you any issues? You are basically going in at 1AM and back at security/Passport control by 4 AM

MR on DL/KA with ICN turnaround
I've checked out the Wiki but can't find a good answer to this.
I am considering a MR from MSP to ICN and back via JFK, no luggage. Outbound layover at JFK is about 1.5 hrs arriving Terminal 4, departing to ICN at Terminal 1 on Korean Air metal.
Turnaround at ICN is about 1:20 on KA metal, different equipment so different gate, I presume. Is this doable? Can I get return BP at DL lounge at JFK Term 4 or will I have to get it at ICN? If so, where? Korean Air lounge? Anything else I need to consider?
Thanks!

The airport is a fair bit out of the city so plan to spend a good 30 mins in a cab there and back if you do go sightseeing.
My experiences so far is they don't even blink twice at MRers

ICN is very efficient - just clear transfer security and proceed to transfer desk to get the return boarding pass(es). Note you will need either an onward boarding pass or printed itinerary showing onward flight to enter transfer security.
At some times of day the security queues can be long, but they move very quickly and airline staff proactively pull short connection passengers to the front of the queue. If you have lounge access then you should have time for a quick visit.
BTW the code for Korean Airlines is KE not KA (which is Dragonair).

The great thing about SIN is that you never have to leave the airport so there's no need to go through passport control unless you want to go into the city. Security screening happens at each gate an just prior to departure

My experiences on returns etc are the same as mrswirl.
SIN is a very pragmatic City/State. Eveybody touching down, regardless of immediate return, or staying longer, generates income/taxes/fees in one sort or another

If, for any reason you need to go landside, the queues for immigration/customs are short and rather efficient. Going HBO, I've done it in 20+ min [queue for immigration, (customs), elevator, security and exit passport control]

about 6 hours on ground. Any food place right outside after midnight? How is the passport control/security lines coming back early morning?

Thanks. I am doing this as pure MR. Had credit from a cancelled ticket and a free weekend. 21000 miles. Still like to be on the ground outside rather than staying in. Its on UA.
about 6 hours on ground. Any food place right outside after midnight? How is the passport control/security lines coming back early morning?

The check-in lines can get long early in the morning (UA flights to NRT and HKG leave at the same time) but Passport/Immigration is quick and easy - there are multiple stations so lines are short. There are no kiosks in the departure area for check-in so you'll have to stand in line to get your boarding pass and a sticker on your passport. Check-in desks open at 3am. Helps to have *G status or be in C/F to avoid the long economy line.
Security is at each gate area beginning an hour prior to departure. You can roam the terminal until then and once you are at the gate you'll go thru standard security screening then be put into a sterile waiting area before boarding. It's hard to describe here but it will be obvious once you get there.

But it's a great airport to roam, particularly the section United uses.

Manilla Run - Advice
Anyone done a same day turn in MNL? I was curious if you can stay airside and if an hour and a half is enough of a layover...?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just keep in mind that Singapore is very much rules-based; there is no flexibility for interpretation of rules. As in, if customs & immigration & security are 100% empty at 4am and you thought it would be cool to get a Singapore stamp in your passport, and their rules don't allow you to go landside if your flight is less than 3 hours away, and you're at 2:59... they won't let you go landside. Not that I'd know anything about this.
