Best connections Singapore-Washington DC
Hi all. Next month, I need to go to Washington DC, business class, departing from Singapore I usually fly SIA. For this trip, my priority is 1) minimize layover time and 2) cabin comfort/service). I apply my trips to either Kris flyer or United Mileage Plus. thanks in advance.

Best connections Singapore-Washington DC
Try SIN-EWR on SQ if you are flying business class, then EWR-IAD/DCA on UA. Another option is fly SQ to NRT and then either UA or NH to IAD. Or SIN-NRT (3hr layover)-LAX on SQ, then UA LAX-IAD/DCA. Personally I'd choose the SIN-NRT-IAD route on ANA.

Alternatives would be flying SQ to a somewhat pleasant airport such as ZRH and then flying LX to IAD.

Here are some options. I would rather connect in NRT or at a smaller european airport (MUC, ZRH, not LHR or FRA) than in the US. But SQ most likely has the best business class of all options.

Hi all
Thanks for the information. Yes, my secretary uses a travel agent. In Singapore, the advice from travel agents are not the best, thus, I try to look for the best connections in advance. Unless my schedule does not work, I will try to get the SING-EWR connection, since I leave before the cancellation date. Flying SIA will help with PPS club, but all miles go to UA. thanks.
