Singapore Air: R/T JFK - Frankfurt $1999 NON-STOP

Killer deal on one of the best biz classes in the sky.

And valid from October 2017-June 2018!

Also valid on Lufthansa and United but what's the point since they're partners and Singapore Air clearly a better hard and soft product.

Wow it is a killer deal. Thanks for posting. When I see this kind of deals, I question the value of loyalty to Delta. Better to fly whichever airlines gives the best deal and service

Must be a charter. Man, I'd hate to see a 380 try to land on a 5,900 ft runway...

Idiotic question... I'm out of AUS but since this is a great fare for Xmas time, I'm considering a positioning flight. Normally I'd position the day before but I've learned how awful NYC is getting into and out of the city. If I buy a separate *A connecting flight (different PNR), is there any way to merge them post purchase so I'm protected on a misconnect (assuming I'm honoring the MCTs)?

Well there are no *A carriers in North America that will take you AUS-JFK, given that UA and AC pulled out of JFK. Moreover, I'm not sure which Christmas period you're looking into, but this fare isn't available for a good amount of Dec/Jan.

Code:
TRAVEL IS NOT PERMITTED 09DEC 17 THROUGH 08JAN 18 FOR
  DEPARTURE OF EACH TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR.

It is available w/ UA and LH out of JFK and EWR.

Additionally, Delta is matching.

Unfortunately not. You can't merge PNRs or bookings on separate tickets after purchase.

Why would anyone fly UL when SQ is miles ahead in quality of product and customer service and quality of it's cabin crew's/flight attendents?

While I agree with you completely, wouldn't it be advantageous to have US metal and stock to maximize MP dollars/elite miles earning?

I don't know, I'm actually asking.

I guess but for me, as this is potentially a one off trip to europe and back, I'd take SQ anyday.

Knowing I could rake up miles on UA flights domestic and future international flights later in the year.

Probably because they have more direct flights to Sri Lanka. I love their cabin crew.... and tea service.
