You probably won't have time as it's a 7 hour drive or a 1 hour long flight, but Bagan is supposed to be amazing. You can read more about it here.
I'll PM you the guide's contact info as well.

Thanks so much for posting the excellent description, photos and videos of the SQ 380 suites! My wife and I will be flying them SFO-HKG-SFO in February, so they come in very handy.
Kudos, too, on digging up those videos. I did a decent amount of Google and Youtube searching and didn't come across the ones you posted.
Happy trails!

To be honest, I didn't see that much beyond the pagoda since I only was there one night. But I'd recommend checking out Bogyoke Market (it's closed on Monday jsyk). Also, just walking around the city, trying the food, people watching, etc. is extremely interesting.

Apparently I also have to go to Naypyidaw, so I will get some free "sightseeing" enroute

Did you have any problems with MH, SQ agents during your trip? Did they ask you anything? were you able to add your UA mileage plus to the SQ flight to earn flying miles (or request SQ agent to do it for you) Thanks. I have the same ticket that you had. I am getting nervous since I have not made any calls or booked any positioning flights and hotels yet. Any info would be useful. Thanks for your wonderful trip report.

I'm not sure when you're going, but I think you should be fine. No need to worry. If UL or SQ or any of the airlines was going to cancel, I'd think they would have done it by now. Have a great trip! Also, if you have any other questions, feel free to PM me or ask me here.

I've never flown Cathay F, but from what I've seen, it looks like Cathay has nicer seats. However, you don't get the enclosed suite. I've also heard that Cathay has better food.
