Talking Good SC run options from SIN or HKG

Please help and give me some new ideas for SC runs in Asia.

I just booked for $500 for SIN-KUL-SIN on JL in business to get 80 SC's.

Looking at what other great ideas everyone has...

Sometimes BKK-SIN on CX712/CX713 in J

I cant remember what was decided about flying around Japan in J or F. According to the QF earn table it looks like "Economy + First surcharge" Who knows what you end up earning....

Wow, the price of tha has ratcheted up a notch or two. Guess the state of the AUD has caused that. The 3k Jetflex fare on the same route can also work, although that is 40 SC.

Yep, last time i flew it it worked out at SGD $209 each way and the exchange rate was about 1 AUD = 1.3 SGD.

Sadly probably not much better than what you have now... except maybe the Japan F flights. But if you find anything i am always interested on good SC earning weekends away

Re: Good SC run options from SIN or HKG

Oh for the days of the AY BKK-SIN runs...

Also appears that the US$400-500 YUP/KUP fares have disappeared from AA, everything now seems to be almost a grand. Surprising - I would have though in current times they would be more desparate to fill the front of the cabin with any revenue

Re: Good SC run options from SIN or HKG

Any information on the price of the Royal Jordanian flights BKK-HKG-BKK in J? Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday currently in a 777

I still see the random CX offer BKK_SIN in J less so exSIN

I also suspect CX BKK-CMB would not be that pricey. Paid upgrades exCMB (to SIN or BKK) also normally seem to be available.

Happy wandering

Fred

RJ do not operate any 777 aircraft. They only operate Airbus (A340, A321, A320, A319, A310) and Embraer (195 and 175).

EF shows that route operated by A310-300 aircraft.

They do codeshare on some TG flights operated by 777 (e.g. SIN-BKK).
