Lowbrow Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Ever taken the bus from SIN to KL? It's supposed to be fantastic.No, but I know lots of people that do it. It can actually be faster than flying since I am usually leaving from KLCC.I am actually really bummed that SQ have cancelled thier Executive Economy class on the Newark and LAX flights to SIN. I prefered it to business class on alot of other carriers. I'm currently looking for a good alternative... maybe business class on Eva. Flying through Dubai would take too long I think... although Emirates are star alliance which I like. Hmmm... emirates is not star alliance... they are just partnered with United which is star alliance.<later>After much searching I think I will try the moscow route... i'll let you know how it goes. Now to see if I can get upgraded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 The Singapore Tourism Bureau is running a special for people from Houston.http://vacations.travelzoo.com/asian-vacations/385695$1,399 for airfare, four nights at the Ritz-Carlton or Mandarin Oriental, and a bunch of other goodies.Makes me wish I was in Houston. More importantly, it's funny to see New York finally paying extra for second-city supplements that the rest of us usually pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojeaux131 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 This was in the March 1st-7th issue of The Economist. Sorry about the quality. The only scanner I know of is a piece of junk at the high school that doesn't speak English and is hooked up to a 15 year old pc with no internet connection. So I just took a pic instead.

editor Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 the Mandarin Oriental is niiice!!! thats a good deal...Yeah, but it's in the Suntec City complex, which is great if you're going to a convention. But you're looking at lots of taxi trips to get to Chinatown, Orchard Road, Clarke Quay, etc.. because subway access is a painful series of bridges and tunnels.Fortunately, cabs are plentiful, safe, and dirt cheap.
