Travelling over CNY

[ginkoka]

Will be on the red eye flight to PEK on 14 feb. Just curious if anything special will be served in each cabin?

[First_Flyer]

In F and J, maybe. In Y, I doubt so

[flyguy]

but likely flight wont be full and have few seats to yrself.

[ginkoka]

i just redeemed a ticket in F and 2 seats were already taken. i think there may be others like me who want to rush off right after reunion dinner haha

Doing the red eye to China as well on that day, but to PVG

Are flights really empty ex Sin on the 1st day of CNY?

Heading to BCN on the same day as well. Really intrigued by 9V-SIA's BCN pics.

Saver seats aplenty, i think. But coming back may be a problem unless it's like 24 Feb or later

I'm finding it hard to get flights to FUK in Y.

J available but I'm not prepared to pay J prices for regional biz class ( non lie flat ) on a red eye

May end up in TYO again!

I'm very happy to hear that. BCN really is a wonderful city.

On a separate note, my travel agent just called to say SQ air fares will rise wef 1 jan 2010 so if you can firm up any dates in 2010, better do it today or tomorrow

sabian, when will you be in BCN? Seems like almost the same time I'm there...

9V-SIA, thanks for that piece of useful info, will rush some bookings now...

Shucks is this fare increase true? Any idea which destinations will be affected?

9V-SIA:
I ticketed around the time you posted your TR. SQ always has this window for "cheap" Y (2-to-go), after which they will do everything in their power to raise prices as the date draws nearer, unless they get blindedsided (last 2 to achieve this was Osama BL and Leh Bro) .

Wife & I have a great time following your culinary adventure in BCN.

Kyo:
If you are heading to BCN on 14/2 as I am, word of caution...hotel rates during my stay 15/2 - 18/2 are out of this world (due to some Mobile GSM convention).

I ended up in some alternative accommodation. Very harrowing experience hunting down an available room.

[Kyo]

Will be arriving on the tail-end of the conference, 18 of Feb at 3-4PM.

I was initially thinking of booking the W BCN... but I may only do that for one night and spend the other somewhere more centrally-located. Thanks for the heads-up. Are you still around on the 18th?

[sabian]

Lucky you. I think BCN will be crowded during my stay. Good thing it's just a mobile comm conference and not a WTO or World Bank Summit.

I am heading to Rome on 18/2 early morning with Vueling and then by rail to Zermatt on 27/2, Paris 5/3, London 8/3.

[Kyo]

No worries! Will miss you by a matter of hours, then. But really - thanks for the tip. I'll start searching accommodation options now rather than later, then.

Just been to NRT. KIX in April 2010.

So I'm going to FUK!

It's a red eye on Regional J. But I can't wait for A330 to fly there.
