I would say spend Shabbat in hkg. I enjoyed it there over Shabbat.
With kids do singapore. Without hkg is nice as well. Especially with the short time you have
Shabbes in singapore is nothing special, in hkg it's great
then id do hkg.
Thanks very much for the input, guys. I realize this isn't the thread for it, but... once we're on the topic anyway, let me give you my thought process; if the
psak is still HKG, I'll take this to the HKG thread.
Returning to Israel after Pesach, award availability sucks, for obvious reasons. So I had this crazy idea: why not fly around the globe in the other direction? Say, JFK-HKG in CX F (booked via AA) on a Thursday, followed by HKG-TLV in LY J (also booked via AA) after Shabbos. Then, once I got that far, I figured: why not see SIN as well, once I'm at it? Land in HKG at 5 AM Thursday morning, tour HKG until around 3-4 PM, then fly to SIN; spend Shabbos there, then fly SIN-HKG-TLV on CX/LY J after the weekend. So that's how I got to making my original post above. Now...
1) First of all, am I insane? Will I deeply regret flying 15+ hours, followed by 11+ hours a few days later, just to experience CX F (again), as well as Shabbos in HKG/SIN?
2) Part of why I'm considering this is what with the AA/US merger, I'm worried about a massive deval, so I'm thinking to burn my AA while I still can. Am I just being paranoid?
3) Assuming I go ahead with this... so, you guys recommend simply flying JFK-HKG, then HKG-TLV, and not adding in any other flights? The DDFer in me feels that it's a waste to be paying all those miles and not taking advantage of adding more "free" flights, but the practical side of me feels that it's just adding more flying time (and exhaustion), which would be totally unnecessary if HKG is indeed perfect. (Kinda like how just because your ice cream store offers free toppings, that doesn't mean you're gonna enjoy your ice cream more if you pile on 7 kinds of syrup and 4 different kinds of sprinkles - it'll just become sickly sweet). Plus, if I add on SIN, that's another country I can boast having been to, and another shot glass I can add to my collection.

Should I nevertheless skip SIN, and just do JFK-HKG, HKG-TLV?
Thanks.
