Regular readers know that I had a quick trip to Singapore – returning home last Monday.  This was indeed a whirlwind trip.  My better half was in Singapore for work and since I had never been and always wanted to go, I found a way to make it work.  I’ll have much more details notes coming soon, but here are the high level numbers and stats.

• Airlines Flown: 3
• Flights Taken: 5
• United Miles Redeemed: 180,000
• Miles Flown: 20,288
• Hours in the Air: 44
• Time in Singapore: 68 hours
• Time in Vienna: 15 hours
• Airport Lounges: 6
• Hotels Nights: 4
• Hotels Stayed: 3
• Cities Explored: 2
• Meals Eaten: 6
• Restaurants Dined: 1 (everything else was Street Food / Hawker Stalls)
• Cocktails / Wine / Champagne Consumed: Countless

My route to Singapore

It was a quick trip, but with more hours on the ground than in the air, which is always a key metric for a trip like this.  That being said, spending 44 hours flying (excluding layovers) in some great business class products isn’t too bad of a way to spend a the dog days of summer.

Give me your honest opinion – would you go to Singapore for just 68 hours?  Does the fact that it cost nothing (other than points and time) change your opinion?  What’s the longest you’ve traveled for the shortest stay?
