I've pretty much finished reading the last 12 months of this thread. My new proposed itinerary is to MEL-SIN-LHR/CDG ZUR-SIN-MEL in July or August 2018. I've given up on FRA/JFK, so many people having a hard time booking that sector. I'm doing east coast USA in June 2017 anyway, flying VA J and Delta Y+.
I'll plan a stopover in SIN on the way back, just one or two nights. I understand I'll have to book two one way sectors, but how do I go about adding in the SIN stopover? Should I search for availability on ZUR-SIN, then find SIN-MEL and call up the call centre and ask it to be booked? Or do I book ZUR-MEL online then call up and say I want to put a stopover in SIN and I want to fly home on this date?
Looking forward to flying on A380 R only, not 777 F. TPR and first class check in at SIN. Expensive champagne, I've never had caviar or lobster before. Never flown F before. Cheaper departure tax out of ZUR. Better flexibility arriving into LHR or CDG and booking 2x one way sectors.
The only unknown for me is when SQ are rolling out their upgraded suites and if the flights I'm on will be affected....
O/T: CE, you are hilarious, keep up the trip reports. I'm sure we all wonder how you get all those points and what the heck you do for work.
