Open jaws to asia for cheap!
« on: August 17, 2017, 02:46:59 PM »
I just booked EWR-BKK//SIN-EWR for 38.5k MR/2. Super long flight, but hard to beat the price for 5 tickets.

Painful and I may end up canceling, but it's a great fare. At least I get 4" extra legroom lol

$385 for 1/17-1/28 is what I booked for adult. Slightly cheaper on Amex travel than ua/pl where I think it was $10 more. Children are cheaper.

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.
