SIN - CMB but not the way you'd think

[Beta4Me]

Hi All,

I've got on odd request...a family friend is going to be spending NY with us in Singapore and then we are all going to Sri Lanka for about a fortnight (leaving ~2 Jan 2016).

BUT, he "can't fly" due to, primarily, collapsed veins. He may, however, be able to fly some low-altitude short-distance flights.

If cost is essentially no object, what would be the best way to get him from Singapore to Sri Lanka quickly?
I'm thinking there might be a series (okay, a lot) of short flights that he could take on low(ish) altitude turboprops or something that could get him there.
(A cargo ship could do it in about 5-6 days, but that only works if it happens to be leaving on 1 Jan 2016 and going direct—a very long shot—and it is still a long time in transit.)

What do you think?


Thanks in advance,
Beta4Me

I'd be trying to get a better understanding of the "can't fly" situation.

There's very few conditions whereby someone could not be fit enough to fly but be fit enough to travel for a holiday to SL......

One option might be to look at cruise ship schedules ex-SIN or Malaysia.

Drive? According to Google it's only 136 hours by road

Charter a jet to fly at low altitude if cost is no problem

I wonder how much that would cost. I guess in the thousands would be tolerable but I'm guessing that might be a lot more than that?

This^^. Sounds fishy to me.

Otherwise boat / road combination seems to be your only option.
