eel Posted July 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2015 We will be debarking a cruise in Singapore in June. We were thinking about spending a few days in Singapore after getting off. We are trying to decide if we should fly right home (Tucson, AZ) after that or fly someplace else "in between" to break up the long flight. One thought was to fly to Tokyo, spend a few days there and then continue on home. Any thoughts on a good place to stopover for a few days in between Singapore and the Western US? Or perhaps we are best off flying home directly from Singapore? Flights to Tucson are not the greatest and usually require 2 connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted July 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hong Kong would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philob Posted July 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Try Taiwan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twickenham Posted July 29, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) This may be harder to do with your destination being Tucson than for me here in eastern NA, but my choice would be London. Edited July 29, 2015 by Twickenham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ellen Posted July 29, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'd suggest looking at wherever you'd need to connect anyway to get home. Probably one of those cities will appeal to you. I like the ITA 'On the Fly' app to peruse the possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amri638 Posted July 29, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 29, 2015 We have the same idea to break our journey home and we are going to Taiwan. The best thing is there is no increase in our flight fare for the stopover. We are going to join same land tours in Taiwan and we can share those information.

eel Posted July 30, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Thanks for all of the suggestions. Will have to look into Taiwan as a stopover. Downloaded 'On the Fly' but it does not seem to have any info on flights with free stopovers. Not much different than Kayak which is my go to app for searching flights. Maybe I missed something?

Mary Ellen Posted July 30, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Downloaded 'On the Fly' but it does not seem to have any info on flights with free stopovers. Not much different than Kayak which is my go to app for searching flights. Maybe I missed something? No, I didn't say that it would show flights with free stopovers. It shows where we'd have to connect anyway. I use both this and Kayak as sometimes they have different flights. Also, if we're flexible on dates, the 'On the Fly' shows a wider range - about a 5-week time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alidor Posted July 30, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 30, 2015 You could fly Singapore Air NONSTOP from Singapore to San Francisco - overnight there - and take another NONSTOP from San Francisco to Tucson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted July 30, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Singapore Air stops for fuel in Japan. Or Hong Kong. My Singapore Air Flight stops in Hong Kong for 65-70 minutes (I think) and then goes on to SFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted July 30, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Besides refueling it is also crew change stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v72sonic Posted August 3, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hubby and I are flying home from Singapore to Tokyo and then Tokyo to Hawaii and stopping at the Aulani Disney Resort for 2 nights to just chill before heading to LAX the next day for 1 night and then head home to the East coast! UGH! I hate long flights! Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCruiser Posted August 18, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hong Kong, if you have not been there before. Japan, if the exchange rate is still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
