TPA – SFO didnt have sufficient layover time to make the flight, other days didn’t work well price/schedule etc…
United 787-10 Business Class
20 inch seat vs 28 inch on Singapore
Flight Home to Seattle
Jackie = 46k Amex Points on Singapore + $75
Kerry = $2,805 one way business
Tyler = 154k Amex Points on Singapore + $110
Totals for original
Jackie = about $755 + 46k amex points
Tyler = 100K united miles + 154 Amex Points + $150
Kerry = about $6600-$6800
If with Singapore the long haul segment is the following would happen
Jackie would pay about $220 more but save the 46k amex points, but also have to add the flight to LAX for $194
Tyler = would save his 154k amex points + 100K United points but have to pay $4,752
Kerry = would save about $2,000 doing the multi segment long haul flight.
Notes – flying back SIN-SEA is actually more expensive than flying BKK-SIN-SEA buy over $600 in business class and has 1 less flight.
We can save the points Tyler has if any inter Asia flights work based on plans and we can reimburse him to cover some of his additional costs.
