Planning trip to NYC Dec17

[nivlac9]

Hi all

Decided to be proactive and start planning my NYC trip for Dec 2017 to avoid the crazy surge pricing. I read that it's actually better/advisable to take biz or premium economy due to the long flight.

Should I buy an econ tix and upgrade with miles? Or jus wack biz/PE? Also I realized that the furthest I can book is till Oct17.

Adv would be greatly appreciated

best is to buy biz ticket. not worth to upgrade econ to biz. SQ can book 1 year in advance IIRC.

What other cities have you planned besides NYC? Are you travelling with kids?

Erm, common sense. Today is 1 Dec. You make a reservation for 15 Dec. Will it be for 15 Dec 2016 or 15 Dec 2017?

Most airlines practice a 331 days to 360 days prior. No airlines nor GDS system will allow you to book 1 year aka 365 days in advance.

Yeah. Realized it when I tried to book. But was considering if should use miles or $ or hybrid for the tix. Thanks though

Depends how desperate you are for the upgrade. Buying economy and then using miles to upgrade, rather than paying high four or low five figures for a business-class ticket SIN-EWR, is going to be better value, but there's no guarantee that there'll be upgrade availability.
