how would you have done it if you would have done it? Lol

Put everyone in same cabin. With sufficient planning, it's doable.

I haven't booked it, but it's 95K a night, a bit cheaper with 5th night free if you wanted to stay that long, or a bit cheaper with AXON awards.

Cool that's really awesome! Surprised they get food from Chabad, seems to be 50 minutes away per Gmaps. 36K!!??? Wowzers, it's gone up quite a lot since then.
well the chef actually lives near Chabad so he picks it up on his way in.

i don't think it's possible to get 4 suite saver seats on a flight or 4 cx f seats on a flight. I was lucky to get 2. I could have done 4 business on both flights but I wanted 2 f seats.   

Honestly I don't know why everyone is going crazy about the split cabins. It was never an issue for us. We were together for 12 days we didn't have to be next to each other the whole time.

The only thing I regret was booking 1 economy seat on jfk to sin. If I could do it again I just would have booked 2 j and the 2 suites. But it ended up working out either way.

like I said that was a hiccup and it wasn't planned that way. But taking turns between first and business is better than all business

Great start! Definitely gonna follow this TR. T-28 days until we go to Thailand with a 1 year old. Especially interested in the activities that you guys did in CNX (with kids).

See you there. Though it's looking more likely that we won't be on the same flights 😜

But you'd need to be extremely flexible on those airlines, no? I'd recommend something like KE where it's easy to find 4.

i didn't want to go with KE for a few reasons. Mainly because I wanted to try Singapore suites. And the flight time with KE would have been much longer since you have to go to Bkk first and cannot go directly to USM and I was arriving Friday so that would have been cutting it close.

But I did search KE as well (daily) and they didn't have more than 1 F seat available on those dates as well

Could have gone directly to Cnx with KE.
