I just booked EWR-BKK//SIN-EWR for 38.5k MR/2. Super long flight, but hard to beat the price for 5 tickets.
UA? What fare class did that book into?
RT flights from EWR-HKG are about $550 end of september but its not W class so you cant upgrade to biz
Another benefit of this fare is children are around $100 cheaper
Sample date and price in cash?
What's your total travel time ?
I'm connecting in hkg on outbound and sfo on return. ~25 hour travel time
OMG! Good luck flying in Y + kids
Earns 18k SQ so end cost is 2.25k MR, can't beat that.
Yup. Timing is good and both connections r just under 4 hours (w decent lounges), but a 15 hour flight I'm sure is super rough w kids, even if they all have seats (and my mom comes along). I just can't justify spending 600k or so points for business class, but I may do israel/Europe over this before shabbos.
These could just be rumors, but I once heard that people do this all the time
