Albeit it with a hint of sarcasm. Lets not be overly sensitive, shall we?

One of the bigger shortcomings indeed. :D

Bravo, idiot. Albeit with a hint of sarcasm.

Ah well, your sarcasm (although it is not really sarcasm but I won't try to explain) is ad hominem. I was merely mocking the fact that someone wants to go to a place he has no interest in. For all I know the OP is the nicest and smartest guy in the world who makes a very funny statement worthy of some good humoured banter.

Besides, since when where you appointed defender on this forum (assuming the OP actually feels he requires defending)?

I think you might like to check who the OP is.

Hahaha!

Well in that case, Gold_Member, I hope you by now see I was merely reacting to your funny statement and not trying to put you down in any way. Still think you would like MCT better and it might even get you the slightest bit interested in ME culture... ;)

Still believe it was not needed to insult me though.

For what's it's worth, Puerto Rico is spectacular. Vieques and Culebra have some of the most beautiful beaches you'll find outside of Australia, and the mountainous jungles in the interior are great. I'd probably do a quick 4-5 day trip from JFK instead of ORD. Sure, it's no 777 and fewer SC's but c'mon, this is life experiences we're talkin bout.

As for this...

MCT has far more to offer. Not only in sights (nature and otherwise) but also in authenticity, although I doubt you are much persuaded by the latter. If you are desperately worried that you will be exposed to something new you can hide away at Shangri La's Barr Al Jissah Resort. No worries, you can pretend you are anywhere.

^^^^ haha... spot on. My, we're all getting thin skin on this site these days aren't we. Sheesh. Dubai is a bore. Go there if Singapore is your idea of a really fun city. If Bangkok or Saigon is more your kinda thing, then go to MCT. Ya can't know if you like it 'til ya try it.

I've booked/confirmed my AONE4 as originally posted and wanted to thanks everyone who helped. But most importantly, my sample bookings revealed that QF A380 A inventory (SYD-LHR) was plentiful for all of the dates I looked at in early to mid September 2010. So for those of you wondering, there is hope after all!

Interestingly enough, of the 14 suites available in First on A380, and with 11 months until departure, there were already 6 seats taken! This far out, I have to assume they are award and discounted first (A) opportunists like myself.
