OWE ex SIN
There seems to be a considerable saving to be made by buying an AONE or DONE in SIN rather than in Aus at the moment. About 20% at current fares and exchange rates. i.e. AONE4 ex Aus AUD13269, ex SIN SGD12397 (about AUD10300). J works out to about AUD7500 instead of AUD9169.
Does anyone have any advice as to how to go about it, a SIN agent to use, or a suggested itinerary to maximise an intended holiday trip to Europe as far as mileage and SCs go, with QFF? I'm trying to retain Gold, and perhaps go a stage further.
AKL would appear to be another good place to start, and a great deal easier to organise, but nowhere near as cheap as SIN.

While you're in SIN, maybe you'd want to consider BKK as it's MUCH cheaper than SIN.
Book through the airlines and ticket it there that way. Travel agencies tend to want you to pay by cash with the exception of American Express Travel.

If you can get a cheap flight to Cairo the RTW fares will be even less. Search through this site for information, but BA is a very good way to go. They even print the tickets, rather than writing them by hand.

Would BA be the right airline to book with even if I live in the US and am not a member of BA FFP, and oneworld status is on AA?</font>
