DXB-MLE - EK Y (will upgrade as it opens up)
MLE-SIN - SQ J
SIN-HKG - SQ R (The A380 room)
HKG-USM - PG Y (business is a middle empty seat so...)

BKK-LHR - TG F (NOT BOOKED YET)
LHR-JFK - VS G (upperclass)

Kallah never even went economy plus so this will hopefully be a fun experience

I know that the Conrad, W & Park Hyatt "paths" have been "set forth" by some yidden.. I dont "think" many yidden have stayed at the constance.. At least not ddf'ers... Am I wrong?
Same reason why I am not staying at the brand new St Regis

Few people on here have, including me :)

Preparing for an upcoming stay at the Conrad - is there someone specific I should reach out to in advance to coordinate the warming of my kosher meals? 

Also, from a kashrus perspective, is there any food there one can eat?  Diamond breakfast (cereals, milk, coffee, etc.)?

And last, has anyone assembled a checklist of things to bring on a trip like this?

If cost is similar, you don't choose the W over the Four Seasons. Ever.

And I've been to a couple of each ;)

We stayed at the PH but in terms of food there that you can eat, obviously ask your LOR but personally, we ate fruit. I actually looked into the milk on the last day and it was from Australia and was Kosher, though it was kind of useless to us because the cereal didn't have a hechsher (and we're not coffee drinkers).

Besides for the regular basics you bring on any trip (baseball cap, sunglasses etc.) dont think you need anything extra.

Yes, ANYTHING you buy there is going to be more expensive then buying in the US.

Ah, so nothing that much extra that you need to bring. Most of the stuff that we had to make sure to remember to bring were Shabbos-related.
