Thanks darthlemsip. Whoa, the Pan Pacific has a great location for the F1. Much appreciate the offer and will let you know if we do Singapore F1 again. Thank you.

I am sure that after flying AF and EK luxuries first class, flying UA is a switch to reality of luxury travel in the US

No wonder the private jet operator out of Denver Centennial seems to be getting more and more SFO777 business

We stumbled upon it while trying to make our way to meet up with SFO777 only to find out our cheapo tickets couldn't get us in to Zone 1. So we just parked there until it was time for the green flag.
That place is great! I can also recommend Tian Tian Seafood in Boat Quay. Food nothing to write home about, but they have a permanent happy hour and it’s $3.80++ for a Tiger, and I love sitting watching over the water there at the end of a long day

(apologies to SFO777 for the thread hijack)

Indeed NA-Flyer. Service on US airlines is generally dreadful. Obviously necessary for domestic flights but I wouldn't willingly fly any US (or Canadian) airline to Asia or Europe.

Thanks Fabo.sk. Definitely for family travel, but as a solo I'm back on United this coming week... again to LAX for another RTW.
