MU: LAX-SIN $1800 USD RT with departures starting late Feb '19
 

CGK: +$100
DPS: +$300

Tons of availability beginning with departures late February all the way through the beginning of May 2019 as seen on kayak.com. The only issue is that it doesn't show booking class. The same flights are available on Expedia, but for ~$80 more, and shows the PVG leg booking in i and the SIN leg in J. I went ahead and played it safe and booked on Expedia. I'm sure others with more experience will know if the sites offered on Kayak book into the same.

These same flights are in the $400 range in Y, if your primary focus is MQM.

Did a similar run earlier this year, thanks for sharing its a good one.

How many days and/or nights will you be in SIN? What dates did you book?

OPS

Nice a normal Delta flyer would get onothis route LAX-SIN 35368 RDMs 26526 MQMs 7073 MQDs

By my calcs, MQMs wil be closer to 29,000, as the J-class legs earn 200% vs 150% for I-class.

Yeap, my bad... I assumed I fare all the way so the calcs were off... Correct figure should be 28883 MQMs per GCMap

No prob. Thanks for posting the calcs!

Long weekend trip end of February. I'm not going to stay in Singapore. My flight arrives at 530am and leaves at 11pm. I'll decide next month where in SE Asia I want to go. Generally flights anywhere in the area are around $75 rt, and I can book with plenty of cushion to not worry about missing a flight. I'll go into Singapore to eat if my MU flights aren't delayed.

I'm looking at my schedule to book another one in late April. That one I will go to Hanoi, as I've never been and it should be warmer by then. I don't handle cold very well.

Do they have lie flats on MU?

Yes, both flights do. LAX-PVG-LAX is 1-2-1, and PVG-SIN-PVG is 2-2-2.

Does anyone know if Kayak will book into the same fare class? Only Expedia shows fare class of (I) and (J), but the fare is $1912 vs $1825 on Kayak, which doesn't show the fare class.

Is it possible to book one way in business in and one way in y?

I'm wondering the same thing except I found a ticket on Justfly.com. Anyone use them before and had an issues with miles posting?

OPS

I literally just booked that flight for the end of April using Kayak which routed through Justfly. Looking at the fare details I see all flights start with (I), which will post slightly less MQM, which I'm not worried about. I'm going to call MU right now and confirm that the ticket was booked in (I) and that I will receive the full mileage on Delta. I'll report when done.

Just confirmed with MU that using Kayak/Justfly, all the legs book into (I) which will earn the miles @jfkeze posted in his first post. The only issue was my Delta SM# wasn't attached to the reservation, so you have to call anyway and have them add it.

April 23-30. You?

I'm looking at the end of February. I need something with a quick turn and found a 3 day trip that works with my schedule.

OPS

You can price this out SFO-SIN in economy for ~$600 in V, which earns 10% MQDs (~$1700). ~$500 in T for 5% MQDs (~$850).

Did you get an email from JustFly.com saying a confirmation email was on the way within a few hours? Just makes me raise an eyebrow.

OPS

Disregard the previous email. Just got my confirmation.^

Is this fare available with a stopover in PVG? Didn't seem like it when I tried on kayak.

I don't think so. If you book to CGK for +$100, ive seen layovers as high as 14 hrs in PVG, depending on date

Yes, but probably not online.

Yes, miles posted, but they charged me for seat assignments ($15 p/p). I bit, because they allowed me to select "preferred" seats in their system. Credit card charged, seats were never assigned. FYI, Justfly also charges $250 for refunds/changes in addition to any fees charged by the carrier. That's a lot, IMHO.

Another personal experience--in 2016, family members had tickets on Turkish Air to return to the US via IST when Turkey-US flights were briefly suspended. Ended up purchasing full-fare tix last minute direct on another carrier. Justfly (may have been another "opaque" OTA on this trip) would not refund the useless TK tickets without their $250 service charge.

Yes, but probably not online.

While I understand the obsession we have to book these online, consider using a travel agent (whether it's me or not), who can:

• assist in booking mixed classes of service and stopovers
• check for fares with reputable consolidators
• check if there are any exlcusive private fares or upgrade programs the carrier is offering through the TA's consortia/network (mine is Travel Leaders)
• hold the rez for 24 hours
• send you a detailed itinerary to review before ticketing
• review all the fare rules with you
• provide after sale service to you without extortionary fees

Just booked LAX-SIN 02/21-02/26. $450 via Priceline booking into V and earning ~$1750 MQDs.

Are these deals in Business Class still active? Can't seem to find them on kayak.

Edit: Found them!

Anyone ever booked with Flyus.com? I'm seeing $1900 LAX-SIN round trip prices but the website seems a little sketchy.

OPS

For anyone booking on justfly.com, you can opt-out of the seat selection fee. Read carefully to find it on the booking page. It's well-hidden. You can actually select seats on China Eastern's website. I booked MU through justfly last year. Let me know if you need help.

Looks like one of my flights from PVG-SIN got upgraded to their brand new B789 with business class suits! Of course, my three other flights are still on the A332, but I'll take it.

Here are the flight #s :
Shanghai Pu Dong – Singapore eff 01FEB19 MU543/546, MU567/568

This is a good looking product:
