What are the least point options to travel to SEA like Malaysia or Singapore in business? Or premium economy will be good enough? Tips are appreciated! Planning for my first trip overseas. Thanks!

premium eco is cheaper these days. but from seattle you have eva air, ana, singapore

but it’s 2x the price than flying from vancouver ornlax or sfo.

i would highly recommend getting a cheap flight to vancouver and start your trip their from premium eco. you’ll save about 900-1k. i just looked at premium eco fares for 1,200 on eva air and they are good

Is prem eco comfortable enough for a 4+hour flight? Never done it before. Was wondering if business is overkill. Wouldn't mind flying to a cheaper airport first too if the overall costs is much cheaper.

Also I have plenty of points in SPG, united, AA, Chase Sapphire and AMEX too.

Any good redemption suggestions? My research says ANA is the best option.

If you fly Singapore economy, it's like flying premium economy on any other airline.

Check out united

Prices are now 440 to Singapore. Completely insane. United sucks but you can't beat those prices

D1 holycrap. From which airport? Is there a way to check the cheapest airport to a specific destination?

Use google flights. For most of the year until peak holiday season then after. It's mostly because of the new united flights from sfo-sin and lax-sin that prices are that low i believe. When are you going

No plans yet. How do you find the cheapest departure airport?

Just test it out on google flights. Solo trip?

Cool! I'm headed there in nov

Oh wow. Wanna connect offline?

Sure

Drop a burner? Haha
