Actually this flight the seat is rather good can be converted into flat bed and the beddings are very soft and comfy.

Do report on the wait time at the customs, and how you're getting to the Autumn leaves too, thanks

We arrived at Newark Airport at about 5.30am surprisingly wasn’t crowded at all took less than 5 mins to clear immigration 

we will be driving all over, planned of course, visiting parks.

Get an all parks annual pass... it's worth it if you cover enough parks:

Bring a container for water just in case...

Tap water is potable in most parts of USA..

But gas stations are scarce in the wilderness

Check for any snow, not common at this time of the year, but always check the weather

Some airlines will label a premium economy seat as business, especially the short haul ones..

Some airlines like SIA offer the same lie flat seats even on their SIN - CGK route.. by the way the seat belt sign is off, you may get 10 mins of lie flat haha

Yes depending on how far out you book. SLK got it at 5.8 as below and its from SIN which is usually more ex than say, BKK or KL.

SQ direct flight from SG is of course more expensive

SQ fly out from BKK and KL is cheaper :grin:

sometime i plan swee swee to go KL to run errand and then fly from KL to overseas directly ... cheaper ! lol

SQ has to sell air tickets cheaper for "stopover" in SG to connect

Rates fluctuate - supply and demand...

At one point I got the direct flight for under 6k too, so I bought my wife a seat for our honeymoon... they also serve a nice cake if it's your birthday... I had so much, I treated my friends in economy... it was fun, they had a cart to bring the cake over, my friends there felt like VIP hahaha... 

And for such long flights, it's really worth it IMO... I was very swaku... didn't know how to operate the seats... and I was so impressed they knew my name and served food on a real plate... haha
