prices BKK-SIN-AMI (mix SQ/MI)
In early Nov (3 to 7), I have a trip planned to AMI (Lombok) from BKK.
If I try and book on SQ.com, I get only a very high Y fare (in the 2,000 USD range). This appears to be a YY fare, from what I can see on EF - no other, real fares are listed.
Now, our TA here in BKK said that SQ is awaiting a new fare from MI, which should be avail. next week and that right now, they cannot provide me with a fare for this trip.
Where there through-fares available in the past and what were they approx? Or would anyone be able to give a rough price estimate on what I can expect next week (I know, glassball question).
If I book this itin on separate tickets (BKK-SIN and SIN-AMI) now, it would be around USD 680. Wondering if I should gamble a bit and wait for a throughfare next week? Or would it likely be higher/not much cheaper anyhow
Thanks!
Sebastian
ps: I know that I land late at SIN on 7th, so have to stay until 8th to fly to BKK -- but there's worse that a night out in Singapore...

Thanks for the idea but I had ruled that out earlier. Since I am joining a group of friends from SIN for a organized Mt. Rinjani Hike, I really want to be arriving/departing on the same flight with them (which is MI).

Book online? Sounds wrong that the fares are not out. SQ are good like that normally.
Although you have to break down the sectors to get anything resembling a good deal. MI is always so expensive on the AMI flights. Here's to a bit a of competition with the new airport....
Personally I can't hack speedboats from Bali - Lombok / Gili - always massively rough, and you can be assured that it's never as safe as you'd like!
I *know* that you are meeting friends, but should SQ/MI prove to be untenable costwise you have single change options you have TG/GA via DPS on way out (night in Bali on return..) or GA via CGK.
