Hi all. Long-time lurker, first time poster. When I was able to explain to my husband that kettles were buying TODs from chickens I figured I was sufficiently fluent to join the conversation! Thanks for teaching me a new language, and saving me time, money and frustration through all your good advice!
I could use some advice on how to maximize GPU usage without stranding the kids. Here is the situation: both parents 1K, kids gold, ample miles and GPUs. I want to get all four of us SIN-ORD-SIN with a combo of GPUs and paid fares but don't want to run the risk of either kid (tweens) sitting alone or getting sent off solo to who knows where in case of cancellation.
Are we better off booking two paid Zs on one account and two M plus GPU on the other or doing all four separately? I have had zero success upgrading SIN-NRT but SIN-HKG is a breeze. However, it seems from my experience that NRT to ORD clears GPUs more often than HKG to ORD. I can live with Y to Tokyo. I have also seen many of you having success through Seattle though I haven't tried that. Is a 1:20 connection there enough to clear immigration in the sequester era of limited agents?
I am willing to run the risk of two seats in Y thw whole way but not four, thus the plan to pay for two Zs. That way, worst-case scenario, we can take turns sleeping.
Am i making this more complicated than I need to? Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions!
