Cheapest *A Option in J between SIN and BKK

[SuperFlyBoy]

Exactly right. Just because I may like SQ's product equally as much as LX or TG doesn't mean I don't/shouldn't fly LX as my most frequently travelled airline of choice.

If these exorbitant amounts I paid for J SIN-BKKs were to one day add up enough so as to get a wheel of Swiss cheese delivered to my doorstep, it sure wouldn't have been because I was aiming to get a free wheel of cheese!

Just wondering - aren't LX still (I remember some prices from 2-3 years ago only) the most affordable J class between SIN and BKK, other than possibly TG?

Yes, they are.

In some circumstances, LX J is cheaper than Y on SQ - but not currently. Last I checked for LX J it was SGD $608 SIN-BKK-SIN valid for 1 year. TG J was $768 for the same, 1 month validity. I just used up my return portion on Friday on TG J. The benefit with TG J is that if you get an equipment swap to a 747, you can request for TG F seating (still J meal/service, however). SQ J is almost double at $1265.

About to take SQ back to SIN in 1.5 hrs (at the BKK SKL now). To barely stay on topic, no PPS love for me

Last time I flew TG J, BKK-SIN was swapped to A346, but they refused to allow J pax to be seated in the F cabin.

Well, I was booked HKG - BKK in F for this up coming summer trip, schedule change to a 2 class config,no more F, re ticketed to C, and then a plane change to a A346, selling only 2 classes of services!!!!!

AHHHHH

But, back to topic,

I'm contemplating taking LX BKK-SIN myself

They do this depending on how full J cabin is - on my last TG trip SIN-BKK-SIN they put me in F on SIN-BKK (J fully booked) and in J on BKK-SIN (with only 10 pax in J).

It helps to note at check-in that your are ueber-important (e.g. triple StarGold and the Royal Family loves you...) ;-)

Lol, far short of the PPS requirement. May need a few trips down to MEL on Air India to compensate!

That is just TOO FUNNY! Good thing I wasn't drinking anything - it would have ended up all over my screen!

LX might stop the BKK-SIN route soon. There's a thread in the Swiss forum on FT.

How very sad...

Update: At any rate, a search on swiss.com shows wide-open availability even til mid-end April. Which is even greater availability than before.

So, fingers crossed. Maybe I book one and see if they switch me to TG C (have a feeling SQ C is unlikely under the circumstances)

Why, did you fly it recently?
