It was March 2013 and I was tired. I had originally redeemed United miles to fly from Singapore to Dhaka to Bangkok to Rangoon, only 12.5K miles in economy class at the time.
But I had flown LAX-HNL-MAJ-KWA-KSA-PNI-TKK-GUM-NRT-SIN without stopping and had had enough flying. I just wanted to get Burma (to catch another extended trip back…the old RGN currency deal).
Anyway, I subbed out SIN-DAC-BKK-RGN for SIN-RGN, a ~3hr flight which just made more sense. I even treated myself to business class for an extra 5K miles (not available when I initially booked).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
