Still alive but AMD to SIN in econ?
I see that this fare is still somewhat alive. However the first segment is in economy. It's a 5-hour flight. Not pleasant in econ.

Has anyone still found business class for all segments in this journey? Thanks.

You need to enter both segments separately, and there will be a SIN layover >24 hrs. Then you'll get the same route all in business at the same price.

Just to update:
Did a turnaround sq530 & 531 on same day. In & out of gate in 35 mins tops.
So a same flight/day turnaround is doable at AMD.
Lounge at AMD (plaza premium) is closed. SGD20 in-flight voucher is given.

Thanks, good to know!

Have been both flights on one ticket? How did you manage to check in at AMD? I assume OLCI has not been an option.

I am still deciding between this flight or DEL-JFK on Malaysian & JAL . Skytrax reviews are more favorable towards JAL . any opinions ?
I will be using this in JAN and I was debating if its better to fly with SIA since I wont have to change airport in freezing temps in Tokyo. Thoughts?

If your options are SQ DEL-SIN-EWR vs JL DEL-HND/NRT-JFK or JL&MH DEL-KUL-HND/NRT-JFK, I would opt for SQ. That ignores status earning considerations. If the MH&JL ticket will make the difference between becoming OW Emerald or not I can see why you would go the MH&JL route. But there will be a lot of extra time in the additional connections.

Thanks for your feedback , I will be crediting this to AS -22k with SQ and 12k with JAL,either of them is fine , since this is such a long journey and I will be stopping in SE asia (fly out to BKK from either KUL or SIN) for 2 weeks I care more about service and comfort more than miles tbh .

Thanks for the update. Did you have any check-in bags? So, did you go through immigration?

Please be aware that since the DEL-KUL-NRT/HND-JFK fare is sold by MH, there is an MH code on the HND-JFK segment. As a result, you won't be able to credit the JAL flight to AS since MH is not a partner airline.

This fare is only available for sale in India. Have you tried using an Indian OTA? Yatra perhaps.
