EY > AA

Possibly thinking of skipping EY A380 on my way home from MLE and flying SQ  R instead.

I have some SQ miles that have been sitting for some time and would like to use them up, plus I can always book EY F again for after the devaluation.

Am I crazy?

Yes.
I think my issue is that usually I spend more time figuring out flights. This trip I had my flights booked in May!

Planning upcoming Thailand trip. As of now I'm in CNX for 5 day, and I'm currently flying back with a full day stopovers not DXB.
Question is should I go to USM, from CNX for 1-2 days, and skip the long layover in DXB or keep it the way it is ?

USM is awesome and very different than CNX just FYI. 2 days should be (very) enjoyable in USM. I myself will be doing 2-3.5 days there depending on schedule.

Is it worth doing it with small kids just for the resort itself without doing any activities?
