Welcome to my next trip report, which will account my recent whirlwind trip to East Asia, including an absolutely delightful last-minute diversion to a new country for me: Timor-Leste.
The entire trip was booked around saver award space I was able to book on Singapore Airlines in First Class (on the 777) and Suites Class (on the A380) from Jakarta to London. That cost 141,000 KrisFlyer miles plus 292,600 INR (about 17 USD).
For the outbound journey to Asia, I really wanted to fly via Taipei on either EVA or Starlux and spend a night there (I’m concerned about the future of Taiwan as an independent nation). EVA space may have eventually opened (75K miles one-way and an EVA Infinity Miles is a transfer partner of Capital One), but Starlux space opened first…and opened wide.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
